> Somehow vaccinated people are scared of unvaccinated or vaccinated-but-unmasked people I can't speak for everyone, but even with a vaccine I can still transmit covid to my young children. I'll breathe easier once they are vaccinated too. > Then, all schools in US are open to kids who cannot even be vaccinated There are other factors besides COVID. Quarantine was not good for our kids, and we made the decision to send them back too school when we saw how much they were suffering due to lack of socialization. Additionally, working with kids at home was next to impossible. We are taking a calculated risk sending them back because the bills, unfortunately, do not pay themselves. It was not an easy decision.

We are comparing that with kids dying from covid or having long covid, right? I suppose dead kids is cheaper than working with kids at home. That is an absurd decision.

  > That is an absurd decision. Your decision is absurd because that was exactly why you chose to set your strawman like that. If you take a step back and force yourself to take a honest and reasonable look at what the OP really said, you'll quickly understand that all caring parents, even when considering that the average children's risk of serious illness is relatively low, do have a high risk aversion regarding their well-being. Therefore, they breathe easier if their kids' immune system is well trained and prepared to handle an infection, which is precisely what you get when you're vaccinated.

    > the average children's risk of serious illness is relatively low There you go. As I mentioned, when pointing out about school reopening, now covid isn't a huge deal. But unvaccinated 20-29 years old is like the biggest deal ever.

      Nobody knows what the long-term effects of covid in developing kids could be. I'm not worried about them dying of covid, but having their lives altered. > But unvaccinated 20-29 years old is like the biggest deal ever Don't know exactly what you're referring to since all the unvaxxed people I know are old, but it's irresponsible not to get it.

> I'll breathe easier once they are vaccinated too What if vaccination won't help to reduce your anxiety?
