I disagree. IMO At this point the only tool that can effectively stop transmission is masking, testing,and isolation. In the good old USA we have none of those.

I understand that we originally believed the vaccine stopped transmission. It is time to let that go.

The vaccine is a tool to reduce the risk of hospitalization and mortality.

Whether or not Kids are Less infectious is not a good criteria to evaluate the worthiness of giving kids the vaccine. It protects them and the people around them.

Please don't conflate the lack of proper disease controls with evaluating vaccine effectiveness. We need better testing contact tracing and community outreach. We have really miss managed this.

The virus will be around forever. You obviously can't expect people to continue with masking and testing indefinitely.

Thank you are in for a big wake-up call

There are many places today in the middle of the pandemic that don’t care about masks.

I’m sure some people will choose to mask forever but the mandates will end.
