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.

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.
