Rarely I disagree with you, but this is one of those times. Yes, the elderly need the vaccine the most and children the least by far. That said, complications while rare are avoidable with the increased antibodies the vaccines provide and I’ll definitely get my daughter vaccinated once she’s eligible. ---

I’m not sure what you mean here. My belief has not changed for two years. Only the elderly and people with comorbities should get vaccinated.

Only the elderly and people with comorbities should get vaccinated. If anyone wants to present a logical argument as to otherwise I’m all ears. I’m just trying to understand how you view the risks.
