Thanks Plinko.
"The reason is that with the sheer volume of new cases that we are having and that we expect to continue with omicron, one of the things we want to be careful of is we don't have so many people out,"
So much for Do No Harm. Maybe that only applies to the economy.
It is worse for kids because more people are getting sick, which means more kids will get sick. Even if it is milder (it isn't), that means more kids will get severely sick. We are about to go back to school too.
You know I took an oath to take care of my patients without prejudice and to the best of my abilities, however, there's this 1% in me that wished that we have people sign a no treatment waiver if they haven't been vaccinated.
I believe I read that 5-12 still have a pretty solid immune response after the first dose when compared to adults. Obviously second is what you want but they'll still have some level of protection.
Probably another 3-4 months it looks like. And that's only if the three dose trial works. The low dose they tried didn't work and that delayed everything.
As a new dad, put that 3 month old before everything minus your health. Make the right decision now because it will impact your decision making and how your family will approach you in the future. Saying no is hard, but once you start, it becomes easier. People will try to make you feel bad, but if they are not willing to take into account your son's health, then I think you should definitely reevaluate the situation.
