Only 14 days ago? Well, no. With children under the age of 12 I am understanding that the vaccine was available for that age group back in May. It's now September. You do the math.

I keep on seeing bullshit crap about parents wanting to wait for the vaccine for the kids to be somehow validated. Well, okay. Wait for total and complete and 100% assurance the vaccine is good, but until then, I'll say what I've been saying for a while which is, if you don't get the vaccine then don't go to a hospital if you get sick. Don't. Stay home. Trust your immune system to protect you. Oh, and hopefully you've made out a will.
