Heya! The Motherly link sends me to a piece from 2018.

Whoops, thanks for catching that!

That CNN piece is caveated with so many “maybes” on the vaccine timeline for children.
Let’s be honest here. A bunch of vaccinated bureaucrats are slow-walking the vaccine for children, with the practical effect that most children in places with high community spread will be infected by Christmas. It is a herd immunity strategy, whether they want to call it that or not. As always in America, the most vulnerable will pay the highest costs.

I may be missing something, but don’t you think in places with the highest community spread many parents would be unlikely to vaccinate their children anyway?

That’s exactly why vaccines are urgently needed–to protect the kids of parents who care.
