Starting to register 12-16 year olds in Dallas. Our oldest is now on the list.

This is a cool chart that shows that 12-16 year olds have a <0.1% chance of death and a .6% chance of hospitalization, assuming they even contract it.

It only goes to 15 year olds though, probably because the odds get too infinitesimal to measure after that.

How is your oldest at enough risk to justify that? I mean, he has a greater risk of death and likely hospitalization from the drive to the appointment. Seriously.

Working towards herd immunity, getting the world and economy back on track, caring for the vulnerable in our lives, stopping future variance, which might not be so nice to kids, before they start. You know, common good stuff.

Sorry, but I chose to not live in fear.

How does getting a zero-risk adolescent vaccinated ahead of older, more at-risk individuals promote the common good?

A year ago I would have thought a lot of stuff that came true was a troll. I'm not taking chances.

Go take a trip with your family if you're worried about the economy, flights are empty and so are hotels and could use your support.

If you're worried about variants, you vaccinating your kids will do nothing. I haven't seen any pediatrician reccomend a vaccine for kids under 18.

Heard immunity from a bull**** virus that only kills olds and fatties. 20 of every 1 million kids aged 0-17 have Covid, but we can pretend it's following science.

Our pediatrician said they think there is something in the current child immunizations that is making children very resistant to Covid, she named the vaccine they think it's coming from, but I can't remember it. Doesn't matter though, we aren't going to change anyone's mind who gets personal validation from being the best at following the Covid rules.

There are some theories that BCG may confer some immunity.

Wow, y'all are bringing up some really interesting points. I'm not sure how many are factually accurate, but I'm certain they're morally correct. I'll have to discuss them with a trained, boarded, and licensed physician.

Here's an expert on faculty at Harvard emphasizing that children do not need vaccination.

The American Academy of Pediatrics does recommend the vaccine for 16 and up and is encouraging further testing for younger children. Our sons (14, 14, & 12) will get vaccinated as soon as it's available to them (wife has been a pediatric nurse for 20+ years).

Are you doing it for their health or community health?

LOL. Why not consult a CPA too? Or is Covid a closely related illness to cancer?

Medical specialties only mattered pre Covid. Now if your a ****en LVN you speak with authority on the matter. I'm gonna go ahead and listen to my kids pediatrician on this one though, all Covid panic aside.

I didn't realize this was also a (D) voter registration drive. A guy I work with went through the Fair Park site this morning and they have people out there trying to register people to vote while waiting for their shot.

I don't mind it but I am also not shocked.

Dallas County voter registration ended 01 April, 12 days ago. So that's strange they are registering voters now.

And how does registering to vote while waiting for your Rona shot indoctrinate someone?

Good lord guys.

If you want more people to vote, you are likely a Dem but only because Rs strategy going forward appears to be to disenfranchise as many as possible
the_batman26: I guess yall need this, its something to take pride in. At least the Feds trusted us with the Space Center; and I seem to recall the Feds not having the best time in Dallas.
