> To prevent the spread. That's why.

Based on what evidence?

Isn't it now generally accepted that it doesn't prevent infection or spread and that the trials didn't study either of these variables?

The person I replied to claimed people were hesitant to get the vaccine because it was promoted for children without reason. That was a lie. There was a reason, whether you believe it doesn't matter
That it would prevent spread was itself a lie. That came out of nowhere in the first few months of 2021, when up until that point we knew they hadn't tested for it.

The propaganda worked and that got memory holed hard, until some months ago when people were surprised to learn the testing didn't include infection/transmission.

So some of us knew the whole time, and the push to vaccinate children was all sorts of weird.
