Flu vaccines are hit and miss each year, and (cdc) only reduce risk by 40-60%. So it's a pretty comparable risk, and we're being given natural experiments like Texas and Florida to really test that hypothesis.

I dunno what the right measures are to take for kids that young, but the difference we're seeing between the flu measures we (mostly don't) take and some anti covid measures for young children is hard to explain.

And any time someone says, um, the data appears to show that covid is not actually that dangerous to young children, you get people (who I'm 99% sure don't lock their kids in the house for flu season) having a fit that you're risking their lives.
