“We fundamentally do not know the extent of the long-term damage continual reinfection with will cause to children, and the data we have so far are upsetting. What are we willing to risk? Are we OK with more children contracting diabetes? Are we OK with many more children developing highly disabling orthostatic intolerance? How about chronic fatigue, cognitive impairment, sleep disorders and heart problems?”

@augieray Is there really evidence that COVID19 is worse than other perils in life, provided we use normal things like getting boosters, avoiding exposure to others when you're running a fever, coughing into your elbow, washing your hands, etc?
We can't know for sure if it's much worse than it seems. We don't 100% that there isn't some very unlikely hidden risk to the vaccine. We know telling kids to hunker down and avoid interacting isn't good for them.

@sallyexactly @augieray Does this mean COVID is way worse, in terms of increased long-term risk of other diseases, than is generally known?
