My 13 year old and I had this discussion yesterday. He has been made so afraid of Covid, that he is begging for the experimental vaccine. I said no. His risk of Covid is so low, he has more risk from the vaccine. I told him that if he were to go and get that in this regard to his parents desires and instructions, that would be extremely severe consequences.
There is a similar law in South Carolina that applies to 16 years old. I wonder how they picked age 14? I am sure they are following the science...
Thanks for being a good parent.
The lengths they are going in pushing these vaccines should raise some major red flags.
My children are adults now and I was successful at raising conservatives that are able to critically think. Or is that raising critical thinkers that are conservatives? I found it helpful that issues of the day were treated as learning experiences. (We homeschooled by the way.) This whole COVID thing is a perfect for teaching math, probability and statistics in particular. The risk is so low for children that it makes little sense for them to be vaccinated. The homeschooling lesson that would go along with this in my home if my kids were still young would probably be a coin flipping experiment. I'd figure out the probability of a 13 year old to die from the ChiCom Plague and then work out how many times they would have to flip a coin and have consecutive heads or tails that equal the dying from the plague probability. I'd just set them to flipping a coin and recording the results. Every failure, they would have to start over. After a while they get the idea that it ain't happening and will want to give up. Lesson learned.
