There is a lot of misinformation out there. I hope the Dept. of Health is more educated than most of the comments I have read and heard.
I have several teachers in my direct family. They took the vaccine as I. I also decided it was in my and my fellow human beings best interest. My children are not members of any political party that is liberal or conservative. They are, however, hard working, dedicated, well educated human beings that teach the majority of the school age population.
Since when did vaccinations have anything to do with anything other than public health?
You are a bad member of the human race if you continue to spread rumors and bogus information. Let someone you love get infected with Corona-19 be unvaccinated and die. See if you think it is ok to be in respiratory distress and be disabled the rest of their life or die from oxygen deprivation with no family near.
How many like the idea of our elderly in nursing homes dying from loneliness and poor treatment because the numbers continue to make it impossible to let relatives visit?
What about our economy and unemployment and people not able to pay their mortgages or rent or food for their family?
In closing I have been told, but I can't verify, that the young students are getting the virus from their older siblings not teachers. Quarantining is putting whole classes and teams and whole bus routes in 10-14 days of lost time from school.
In my opinion everyone should have been happy for there to be a solution rather than acting like a bunch of idiots. Sorry
