Are you willing to get the Covid vaccine when offered?

But with the data that we have, is widespread vaccination still the best way forward? We are talking about vaccinating our children when everything points to the majority having mild to no symptoms. It doesn't stop the spread and children aren't filling up our hospitals, so what is the benefit of forcing this on them?

I haven't had much time today, so this is the short version.

Short game and long game.

Short game, protect the vulnerable and mitigate spread. Vaccination helps slow down the spread. One of many tools. Bigger point of vaccination is to protect vulnerable.

So, kids vaccinated now is more about limiting spread. And also keeps the rare few from complications or death.

Long game. Those kids will become adults, and eventually elderly. We will likely live with this forever, so long term immune memory will serve them down the road.

Also, deaths may be low, but heart inflammation is high. Higher than the risk from vaccines.
