Biden mandates vaccines for workers, saying, ‘Our patience is wearing thin.’
(J. Harris: Public Health mandates are occasionally necessary and usually have been effective; Polio and Small Pox are examples of diseases virtually eleminated by judicious and persistent vaccination programs — world wide. Mandated Covid vaccination is now imperative for public health protection against Covid-19. Covid vaccines are available, effective, and are SAFE — and they are necessary to control the Delta variant. As new variants come along, and likely they will, additional vaccinations will be scientifically crafted and utilized.)
FROM HOPKINS CITED ARTICLES:
1. Kids and COVID: Why Young Immune Systems Are Still on Top (Nature) For most other viruses, from influenza to respiratory syncytial virus, young children and older adults are typically the most vulnerable; the risk of bad outcomes by age can be represented by a U-shaped curve. But with COVID-19, the younger end of that curve is largely chopped off. The novelty of SARS-CoV-2 levelled the playing field, and showed that children are naturally better at controlling viral infections.
2. Recommendations for Prevention and Control of Influenza in Children, 2021–2022 (American Academy of Pediatrics) This statement updates recommendations for the routine use of influenza vaccine and antiviral medications in the prevention and treatment of influenza in children during the 2021–2022 influenza season. We recommend annual influenza immunization of all children without medical contraindications, starting at 6 months of age. Influenza vaccination is an important intervention to protect vulnerable populations and reduce the burden of respiratory illnesses during circulation of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2, which is expected to continue during the 2021–2022 influenza season.

FROM NEJM 8 SEPT:
1. Effectiveness of Covid-19 Vaccines in Ambulatory and Inpatient Care Settings
CONCLUSIONS
Covid-19 vaccines in the United States were highly effective against SARS-CoV-2 infection requiring hospitalization, ICU admission, or an emergency department or urgent care clinic visit. This vaccine effectiveness extended to populations that are disproportionately affected by SARS-CoV-2 infection.
2. Effect of Vaccination on Transmission of SARS-CoV-2
”…We provide empirical evidence suggesting that vaccination may reduce transmission by showing that vaccination of health care workers is associated with a decrease in documented cases of Covid-19 among members of their households. This finding is reassuring for health care workers and their families…”
(J. Harris: The correspondence related to the early immunization of Scottish health care workers is very reassuring to all vaccinated folks)
