There is also that phenomenon that children suffer with skin rashing and turning beat red. I don't remember what it is called but is looks nasty as hell. BTW.....children have died of Covid.

The small number of children who have died from Covid also had significant health issues which greatly contributed to their deaths. For kids that fall into the high risk category, the choice to vaccinate or not is going to be a different equation based on their own personal risk factors.
But most kids fall into a very low to no risk category from this particular virus. Like I said earlier, if kids were dropping like flies in the state of Florida, the media would be all over that. But kids have been doing just fine going back to school, participating in sports and other extracurricular activities along with PT service industry jobs. The kids in Florida have been exposed to viruses and bacteria all year long which actually makes their immune systems stronger.
When it comes to my kids, I'm more worried about strep than Covid. For most kids, Covid is more or less a cold.
