I'm saying don't live your life in fear. Especially since there's a 0.08%

chance of you getting sick enough to end up hospitalized (assuming you're vaccinated). And the chances of you, a vaccinated person getting infected....spreading it to a child...who then gets really sick is insanely small.
I mean, I get it if we were talking last year when dozens of people were dying. But the news of children or vaccinated people getting deathly sick or dying makes headlines is exactly because it's rare.
But I don't really care if that's how you want to live your life. It just is sad how many people are living in such paralyzing fear when the data shows there's absolutely no reason to.
