So first off here, let's just remind ourselves that, yes, it is required that schoolchildren be up to date on their vaccinations in order to attend most schools.
These required vaccines are for things like Polio, Hepatitis B, Tetanus, Measles, etc.
Illnesses we know a lot about.
These vaccines have been around for a long time, and we know they work.
Enter Covid-19, which we don't know a lot about. An illness that doesn't yet come with one of these traditional vaccines, and is instead being treated by a new technology which some see as the future of vaccines. It's called a Messenger RNA vaccine, and it's actually pretty cool. But we don't know much about it yet. And people are getting infected with Covid even after they're fully vaccinated with it.
mRNA vaccines are a new type of vaccine to protect against infectious diseases. To trigger an immune response, many vaccines put a weakened or inactivated germ into our bodies. Not mRNA vaccines. Instead, they teach our cells how to make a protein—or even just a piece of a protein—that triggers an immune response inside our bodies. That immune response, which produces antibodies, is what protects us from getting infected if the real virus enters our bodies.
"They teach our cells how to make a protein."
Cool.
I think my cells are pretty smart.
Hopefully we can get this to work, but as of today people remain skeptical.
So what did we come here for anyways?
Oh yeah, Dr. Fauci!
Here he is, JUST AS THE SCHOOL YEAR BEGINS, saying that he thinks it's a good idea for schools to require this new vaccine for kids 12 and up.
Everyone's got opinions about this. But c'mon. This seems crazy. Mandating a brand new vaccine for children? And if they don't get it they can't attend school?
What the heck is going on here?
