    Time to Jab the Kids

    Ahead of the expected authorization of the COVID vaccine for children ages 5 to 11, the Biden administration says the shots will be distributed to school-based clinics as well as pediatricians' offices, pharmacies, and other sites.

    The federal government will also launch a program helping school districts start school-based vaccination sites by "matching" districts with vaccine providers, officials said Wednesday.

    "Our planning efforts mean that we will be ready to begin getting shots in arms in the days following a final CDC recommendation," the White House said in a statement.

    The Biden administration's plan signals schools will continue to play a role in completing a massive challenge of both logistics and persuasion: vaccinating the 28 million children ages 5-11 across the country. A new federal campaign "to increase vaccine confidence" will involve schools, as well as local health departments and faith leaders.

    I'm pretty sure, at least hopeful that this will be the line in the sand. I understand if someone will lose their livelihood that they would acquiesce to the shots but I expect that when they come after the kids some fur is going to fly.

    We'll see. Everybody has been going down like a lamb so far.

    I'm trusting this to be a major fight here in Michigan.

    What do you think of this very recent report from the state of Washington ? It includes data on vaccinated children. See the summary on page 3.

    It presents a very strong case for both adults and children getting vaccinated.

    However, being fully vaccinated and waiting for a chance to get a booster shot, I nevertheless believe that Covid-19 vaccines shouldn't be required. If Covid-19 were as contagious and lethal as the Bubonic Plague, I would say otherwise.

    By the way, the Biden administration has no plans to make vaccines mandatory for children.

    Don't make any large bets on that one. I have read there are several things already they said they would never do and they've done it. Making the vaccine mandatory was one of them. So I don't think that you can trust what he says on the vaccine. He's already lied at least once about it.
