(53,345 posts)2. I've gotten into w/multiple MAGAts who say kids can't get infected
And they ignore that its more a matter that they arent susceptible to its effects but can still pass it on to others
My son has asthma and severe pet allergies, he is in a higher risk category so it hits home for me when these MAGAts go on their willfully ignorant tirades
