> 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.

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.

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.
