So you brought them to our house? Which he thought was okay because he goes to school with them everyday.
I didn't know how to feel about that... I can't tell my son who to be friends with, and I don't want to make him suffer and stay home because his friends are dumb dumbs.... but I'm digressing.
He told me he's sure that less than half his grade is vaccinated, but he knew of two other friends who were getting their first shot this weekend because their parents wanted to go out to a restaurant with them. He said the two friends who couldn't make it to the movie figured they should probably get their vaccine because they want to do things.
So, yes, buy in with the young'uns is very low. Either the kids don't care or their parents don't think the kids need to worry because "kids aren't really affected if they get infected". As they start to realize they can't do things or go places they'll start to change their mind.... it just can't happen quick enough.

Bit of a double-edged sword really, depending on the ages.
"Buy in with da youts" could be low because they're just now becoming eligible, but at the same time they should do what you tell them to.
Nobody has to be preposterously authoritarian about it, but if eligible kids arent getting vaccinated....thats kind of not 'on them.'
Where are they getting this 'low buy-in' attitude?
This is why the Vaccine Passport was so important.
