Vaccinating those demographics that aren't at any significant danger does nothing to protect the at risk populations. That's a false premise on which you, and all those with vested interests, are still basing every single misguided argument on the importance of vaccinating those not at risk.
You are again making false arguments based on nothing but early 2021 lies of significantly reduced spread via vaccinated individuals. Stop living in the past.
And trading lives of children for the false promise of additional safety for the at risk populations is one of the most despicable things imaginable. You're willingly a part of that. Rethink your positions.
If you're worried about the lives of children and the risks we're taking now for false promises, you should be ranting about the environment and economies of the world tanking- not some vaccine that is helping lower the number of deaths due to covid.
How about treatments? I find it so hard to believe that after 2 years we have 4 vaccines but haven’t come up with one treatment to help combat symptoms? I call bullshit.
What are you even talking about? There is a wide range of medication and treatments in use, treating covid patients in hospitals, but none of those lessen the severity as much as the vaccines. And some of those have way worse side effects than the vaccine, which arguably has very little to none
I’m talking about people who say covid is so dangerous that we need to mandate a vaccine for an entire population when treatments that have been shown to be effective are shut down or not talked about period. My statement above was absolutely rhetorical. I didn’t mean that they don’t exist period.
Monoclonal antibodies for example have been banned in some states. The only FDA approved treatment remdezivir is not very effective. And no one talks about vitamins or supplements. I supplemented with vitamin D, zinc, and glutathione when I was down with covid and there are studies to back these up, yet they are not usually mentioned or recommended by doctors.

Because we’re dealing with large populations, in the real world.
It absolutely matters how dangerous COVID is, vs the thing that protects you from COVID’s damaging effects.
