In Queens, NY we need to be vaxxed for just about everything. My HS age kids had to be vaxxed to participate in sports, to go to restaurants, theatre and other venues.
Fortunately, they eat well, exercise, sleep well and are otherwise healthy.
Why would you tolerate that? You know also NYC vax rate kids 5-12 is 50%? That # will be decreasing too as more non-rona vax kids turn 5...
Which is great-- they are at zero risk except to Democratic authoritarianism & Pfizer - Moderna profits. "Mandates" were always unthethical but that they continue in even vestigial form shows how utterly corrupt and anti-science NYC is.
Fraud "liberals" (sic) claim to care about kids, education, "carceral reform" but are cool voting for scum who BAN KIDS from sports, music, dance and other school activities?
About 20% of teens are 'rona unvax too -- though who cares if they even stay in school, right?
I'm not sure by what you mean by tolerate it. I don't necessarily support the decisions of my school chancellor, mayor, governor or president.
My kids were as active as possible during the early days of covid. They played in leagues until they were cancelled, played in the playground until they were locked up and the rims taken off the backboards. Fortunately there are plenty of parks and beaches to go to.
I don't support mandatory vaccinations even if I chose to get vaccinated. Ultimately I chose to have my HS age kids "vaccinated." Every public HS athlete in NYC has to be vaccinated. Hopefully I didnt make a mistake, they seem to be fine a year later.
If my kids were much younger I don't know what I would have done.
Yes, two kids. Both have also had covid. No side effects. I don't support mandates, personally, but quicker recovery times and lower severe complications risk (albeit vs. an already low baseline risk) make it worth it in our view.
FWIW, our son, who was vaccinated when he got covid, was sick for about 12 hours with a fever of 100.0. My unvaxxed daughter was sick for several days with a fever of 104 at her highest. Can't prove it either way, but seems like the vax reduced the severity for my son.
The children I know who were not vaxxed recover from covid in less than a day.
You have no proof whatsoever of your assertions that the vaccination reduces severity.
Furthermore, when your son who was vaccinated discovers he can't father children, he should hold you accountable. You're a terrible parent.
THIS, exactly.
The good news is that more 93% of parents nationally have REJECTED the baby - toddler vax.
Again: why don't western or northern Europe, full of countries often extolled as models for their socialized medicine, have any interest in these baby - toddler shots?
* THIS * is the one area America not only 'knows' better but acts on that knowledge?
Nobody wgaf about this one way or other btw except that Democrats insist on "mandates," regardless of prior shots, or prior infection and recovery.
In New York City, COVID positive & recovered kids are banned from many extracurricular activities-- that's what a "liberal" and "inclusive" education means to Democrats.
Note too, while very few Democrats actually run ON 'rona vax "mandates"-- children or adult-- very few have criticized them either, despite the consequent punishments of children and their families.

Of course. My kids are both adults though, but they are smart, so they both got it.
So proud to announce that you and your "smart" kids all gladly signed up for the largest human trial on untested technology in world history. Flagpole bragging about being right or smart is one of the all-time longest running threads on this message board.

From what activities are recovered kids banned?
Believe it or not, Coach-- unvaccinated kids are BANNED from all PSAL sports; music groups (bands, orchestra, etc); dance groups, theater... Basically anything they define as 'strenuous' and thus higher 'risk.' The regular after school programs are still open to all, afaik.
Unvaccinated parents are barred from all school events including last Spring's graduation, stepping up though some individual principlals looked the other way on this.
All of this is now contrary to CDC guidance.
If you follow Schools Chancellor David Banks twitter, ** HE ** clearly knows better: he's always out and about maskless, he and DOE staff went to conference in Orlando (in anti-mandate Florida), lots of posing and partying at the "height" of Omnicron.
As I'm sure you know, by far the most important quality in a child's education is engagement, so why NYC would do anything to decrease that is both unexaplainable ad maddening. Most people with an interest believe Adams is doing it as false "virtue signaling" to deflect from his many other failures and corruptions.

I stated as such but when you stated "recovered" I didnt realize you meant unvaccinated students. In my first post I mentioned that my own kids couldn't participate unless they were vaccinated.
Sorry for not understanding your post, we're in agreement.
So you are admitting that the young aren't at risk for Covid. Agreed.
I was just pointing out you were using completely fabricated assertions about death rates to make your point.
You’re entitled to make your own decisions about the risks of COVID to your kids.
Its pretty clear the risks of COVID extend beyond death and far far outweigh the risks of the vaccine in children. Even cutting the length of illness in half would get a kid 2-4 extra days in school - it’s not all death.
You conspicuously avoid discussing the Amish, right here in America. They are completely unvaxxed and have not experienced mass disproportionate Covid deaths.

He probably ignored it because it isn't true. The excess deaths in many Amish communities has mirrored the general population.
“Excess deaths” is a means to estimate the lethality of COVID-19 (directly and indirectly). Assessing “excess death” in closed religious communities provides information on how COVID-19 impacted these communities. We use ...
Sunday church service in Amish country is more than just belting out hymns, reading Bible passages and returning home an hour later to catch a football game or nap.
