There is more than one side to the coin. Covid is a big deal in nursing homes but not a big deal in elementary schools. The important thing is that the most vulnerable have access to the vaccine. Let those who are less vulnerable figure out if they need this vaccine or not.
The British variant of CV that is gaining in the US is sickening and killing young children. And I believe that is NOT true about pregnant women.
