You could pivot to many things, for example this FDA approved drug that was later retracted:

Or point out that the 737 MAX had approval from another federal agency.

We simple can't be sure, it is personal risk management. Requiring the vaccine is silly because vaccinated people can still spread it (especially Delta), perhaps even spread it more since their symptoms aren't as severe and they are far more willing to mix with large crowds.

Your personal risk management is at odds with my childs safety. Not everyone is able to be vaccinated at the moment.

"In addition, a growing body of evidence suggests that mRNA COVID-19 vaccines also reduce asymptomatic infection and transmission."

In general (and I don't mean you), parents have had zero regard for others being infected with the flu for as long as I can remember. I've gotten the worst flu of my life (coughing for months) from a visiting parent with an infected child (the parent knew it and did not tell).

Secondly, children have a very low risk, the flu is more dangerous to them than Covid.

Thirdly, assume that the growing body of evidence is correct . The vaccinated coworker who has a new Tinder date every week and mixes with large crowds in clubs will still be a higher risk than a reclusive, un-vaccinated, masked individual.

The overlap between antivaxers and masks does not work that way.

"In general (and I don't mean you), parents have had zero regard for others being infected with the flu for as long as I can remember. I've gotten the worst flu of my life (coughing for months) from a visiting parent with an infected child (the parent knew it and did not tell)."

So this is about revenge? I really have no clue what you point is.

"Secondly, children have a very low risk, the flu is more dangerous to them than Covid."

The number of children with severe symptoms is growing.
