The biggest question I feel like people ask is,

are kids really affected by COVID?

Do my kids really even need this vaccine?

Because our kids really even affected by COVID.

I think looking at the last year and a half,

I think the answer kind of unequivocally is yes.

The problem is, is looking at the numbers.

It's probably about 90% that they're going to be fine,

but the other 10% will get long haul COVID or missy after COVID,

or be hospitalized, or even died from it.

Thank you for joining us for Pantsuit Politics.

Hello, thank you so much for joining us today.

We are excited to spend some time with you thinking mostly about kids today.

We're going to start with a conversation about book fanings in schools across the country.

We are going to then talk about the decision to vaccinate children in that five.

Children in that five to 11 category.

We brought in an expert, Dr. Amanda Dropick, she's a pediatrician.

She put her own children in the Pfizer vaccine trial.

She's going to talk to us about why she felt comfortable doing that,

what that experience has been like,

and her assessment of the safety of vaccinations that are available right now.
