> valid scientific and rational thinking for being hesitant of getting the vaccine.

Care to expand what these "scientific" reasons are?

I think the landscape for child and newborns is not entirely understood. Given that long COVID is rare in children, the personal risk tradeoff for a child is unclear at best. I would be hesitant to vaccinate my children (if I had any). Certainly if they were homebound.

That's a different point than before, though. That's child vaccination vs. general population vaccination.

Just because certain subgroups of people have valid reasons does not mean it applies to the general populace.

Yes I think I agree with you. Just because certain subgroups of people might not feel comfortable getting vaccinated, it doesn't mean you can apply the same logic to the general populace, as most people are safe to get vaccinated.
