I just cannot wrap my head around the stupidity. Poor kids & immune compromised.
And it's now affecting younger and younger people since a greater proportion of seniors have now been vaccinated. Covid isn't fussy, it will infect anybody! 
Too bad media isn't talking much about long haul...
But they don't watch actual 'news." *sigh* And that puts us all in danger. 
I don't know if I mentioned that the elderly gent I spoke to Monday about the vaccine said he was worried about the "long haulers!" He inexplicably thinks you can get that from the vaccine! I explained that 99.5% of those who get the virus are the unvaccinated, but then I don't have a medical background! He's friendly with another older guy he sometimes gives rides to - and when I mentioned to him where he could get the vaccine locally after I got my first shot, he seemed quite interested. So I asked him when I saw him later, and yup, he got vaccinated.
You've saved another life!!!
I don't think he's as old as "Bob," but he's less healthy.
