Young adults feel immune to covid so they don’t get vaccinated. Then they go out partying and bring it home and spread to everyone else. Yes, we’re a kind and loving society and we raise our kids right.
This entire pandemic, I was fortunate to not encounter many deniers or people affected.
My son's GF's family, or part of it, rolls a little holy and conservative, so they aren't fans.
She's vaccinated though.
Basically, she's trying to educate herself at college and acquire distance from them.
My son's going to commission in the Army and she's studying nursing, so pretty sure she sees that as the ticket out.
My daughter eventually got back to her HS retail kind of job, some of it before vaccine was available for her age, but dodged the bullet there - obviously we had her be as cautious as possible - and now she's vaccinated.
But just recently one of her friends came down with Covid. Vaccinated? Nope. And guess what? After that girl got it, her mom RAN for the vaccine. So that tells me that family, no one probably had it.
My youngest isn't eligible, by age, for the vaccine, yet the county decided we have to have full attendance. Which I was (sort of) ok with until Delta variant. Doing the school at home thing kind of sucked, but I fear Covid is going to tear ass through a middle school. Fingers crossed. Again, most people around here are compliant, so the knock on effect shouldn't be too bad, but i'm concerned about long term health implications for the younger kids, my kid especially, of course.
Other than that, most of the people in my circle are reasonable, responsible people. Oh, my aunt's BF up in NYC. Runs a little to right of center/wingnutish territory. Didn't get the vaccine. Got real sick (he'd be oldish). Still whoofs right wing sh*t on Facebook, on the brief occasions I check out what is going on with The Ministry of Disinformation.
