I could see things starting to really ease up once all children have had a chance to be vaccinated and everyone else has had a chance to get their 6 month booster shot.

Not everyone is eligible for a booster shot.

  This is true, but moot in my area. The local pharmacies that administer the vaccines are not validating your eligibility. Those I know who are interested in the 3rd round, and beyond 6 months from their 2nd, have received it.

    People making up their own rules is the defining problem of the pandemic.

      Sure, but I don't think people getting a booster that may not be qualified are going to prolong the pandemic, quite the opposite. There is more than enough supply.

  Right now - sure, same case with the covid vaccine in the first few months it was available

  Yes - which why I doubt we will see full "reopening" everywhere until they open up boosters to everyone and provide time for people who want them to get them.

  "at all"? What? Tons of children end up with post-acute sequelae. Where are people getting this notion that the only possible negative outcome of viral or bacterial infections is death and that that's the only stat we should look at? https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7927578/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7927578/

    Where are people getting this notion that the only possible negative outcome of unnecessary vaccination is death and that that's the only stat we should look at? fixed that for you

      Didn't mention anything about vaccinations. Don't be disingenuous. The guy above literally said "Children aren't at risk from Covid AT ALL".
