If you had a vaccine mandate in schools all around the country, tens of millions of children would be barred from school due to having hard liner true believer parents who wouldn't take the vaxx for a million bucks. The only solution is to do what the CDC did. Suggest no mandates whatsoever, but let the parents choose. Vaccines help with severity of infection, but they don't prevent spread, which is in part why the CDC relaxed restrictions so, so much lately. Did you know that the CDC say an unvaccinated at school and a vaccinated child should be treated the exact same? No social distancing for either of them. No isolating after coming into contact with a positive case. Time for all of us here to move forward and accept that the CDCs new recommendations are for the best. With mandates, the country would fall apart and a generation of children would be completely fucked.
- For the record, I was specifically talking about the Washington DC case, where the black population is getting left behind by vaccine mandates. And, as it turns out, despite all the issues I pointed out about black people's relationship with the white medical establishment, their rates of hesitancy are plummeting, and it seems the big issue is subpar access to the vaccine.
- And are we sure the CDC's loosened their guidelines solely because the virus isn't as bad as it was? Are we sure some of it might not be because their power is being hobbled by the courts? Because a lot of the shit the right have been balking at (from masks to vaccination to social distancing) are still being recommended; they're just recommending it more because they can't make anyone follow it.
- The thing about the vaccines not preventing spread is a bit of an oversimplification: the prevention of spread of the disease tends to happen more when we've got a sufficient percentage of the population vaccinated. Problem is, we've barely even reached that point for the original Alpha variant.
