If the shot was able to stop transmission of the virus, (the CDC has admitted since delta that it isn’t) and if a higher percentage of the population were actually at risk of serious illness or death from covid, I would agree w you. Since neither are true, fierce opposition against the people who inflict and support these mandates should be taken.
Oh yeah?

How many of the parents of those 2.8% are in a position to implement a vaccine mandate in schools?

the anti mask/vaxxers seem to only focus on the children, not the schools' and districts' ability to staff during covid. #whoosh

The public school employees have guaranteed retirement at what age again? How many decades before significant risk of COVID?

55 year olds were not keeling over in significant numbers.

I appreciate your pugnaciousness, but if only you had any curiousity to the bullshit you're on about.

I think the labor force at my workplace trends older than nation-wide average. The worst disruption we had was a department head out for a few weeks or a repeat disruption of an entire department.

The vaccine is no longer effective. Brix said this week she knew it was never effective at preventing infection. Forcing kids under 5 to get an ineffective vaccine is not a safety precaution, it's an exercise in authoritarianism. Once it's reformulated... if it's reformulated... then maybe go back consider it.

I don't know who Brix is, but the doctors and scientists on the advisory committee obviously disagreed. That being said, I don't know who is endorsing a vaccine requirement for kids. It's just good for parents and families that they have this vaccine.
Everything's perfectly all right now. We're fine. We're all fine here, now, thank you. How are you?

I'm not a library of all names associated with our COVID response. I needed a reminder, and Brix wasn't googleable.

No passive aggression there.

It was simply a matter of practicality. Whether you like it or not, the blanket policy was stay home and isolate, don’t come to work. So to minimize staff getting Covid, take mitigation steps to curb the spread. And yes, there’s plenty of evidence that vaccines do curb spread.

As an example, my sister is a third grade teacher who didn’t get her normally scheduled midday break for lunch and admin duties for months, because she - along with other staff - were constantly filling in for colleagues who were instructed to stay home. She had to teach gym class for a straight week.

maybe i am wrong here but i never heard anyone say the vaccine would eliminate covid just that it would help slow down the spread and for those vaccinated if they did get infected the symptoms had a very good chance of not being severe as the unvaccinated (except for rare cases)

The President was close to saying this: https://www.usnews.com/news/politics/ar ... s-policies

... but I am not in anyway saying or implying he claimed it would 'eliminate' covid.

Seatbelt laws for some adults are unjust. There is often no victim to the “crime” of an adult not wearing a seatbelt. It’s mostly a way for cities to write more tickets and collect more fines. However, an argument could certainly be made that a parent must wear a seatbelt. Laws forcing adults to make sure their children are wearing seatbelts, or sitting in booster seats or car seats are necessary. A child who cannot yet protect themself should be protected by law.

It’s obvious however that seatbelts shouldn’t be compared to a new, forced INJECTION that has proven unnecessary for so many. The covid shots were at least somewhat experimental upon implementation. If you don’t agree, I encourage you to read about why Israel got their first round of shots from Pfizer, for free. And that Japan recalled over a million Moderna shots because they had metal in them. If you believe anyone should have been forced to take these shots, please remember that of the 3 COVID shots Americans were told to choose from in order to keep their jobs, ONE is no longer recommended because it made too many people’s hearts swell up. What do covid-shot-enthusiasts say to the people who chose J&J? You should have guessed better?
