I find the fact that you lived this long both surprising and disappointing.
In a bad year, 4x as many children are hospitalized for RSV, which is orders of magnitude much more threatening to children and (my own kid having suffered from long RSV) potentially much more debilitating.
I think at this point it is relatively apparently that EOTL is back in some shape or another.
Come on Mavs, this is a weak sauce take. God almighty gave me the best body a man could ask for. I'm only tasked with taking good care of it. I make sure to never eat todays meat or ice cream or booze. I only eat veggies, fruits, nuts & salads for now. Drink lots of water, no more booze. This is the secret to feeling amazing. Time to live with no fear of getting sick and just feel awesome. My abs are now showing for all to see at da beach. I'm going to be the best I can be when I turn 55 in November. I might take some pics just for you Mavs so you can see the before Crush pic ((2017 DL pic of me on the Hamster Wheel chasing the dream baby)) and the new Crush. My wife is the must impressed of my abs and that makes me feel HOT! She is now running around too and taking her game to another level and she looks around 30, no joke. If you stuff your face with shitty food, drink booze all night and inject things you have no clue about into your blood stream, your skin will not be soft and you will be one miserable fool. Lastly Mavs, seriously listen; don't put something in your blood that you still have no idea the true ingredients. That makes zero sense in my brain. I see your still only using the 8% that were all allowed. I crossed over to the other 92% and that's why your still hung up on the dualistic mind set of me right & you wrong. We were all born into this. What is "this" you ask? "Us vs Them." This life we were born into was stolen by some real bad assholes. We didnt know so we all get a second chance to capitulate. If you like playing with cheaters, liars, goal post movers and haters, then by all means keep getting boosters. Lastly and I mean lastly, God loves you and I'm trying to love you too bro. Look man, we all need some help. Don;t let old Kicking & Screaming think he doesnt need any help. We all could use a little hug now and then.

I mean, can you imagine such an angry, fanatic just giving up because he has to change his screen name?
So you disagree with the multiple studies that show natural immunity is stronger than vaccinated immunity?

So that is a nice way to move past your kid fear porn!
Kids are not at risk.
I know the 53 kids hospitalized in the entire US in a day gave you the vapors. But that is 1 kid per state on average.
Context is important.
You do know that every day of the year 8-9k people die.
What you don't get every day is the running total of every disease and every hospitalization for every disease or cause. If they did, people like you would be freaking out.
Covid is here to stay. It is endemic. Going forward some years will be better some will be worse.
Flu kills 30k at least every year. Sometimes over 100k. Nobody reports on the daily count.
IF they did you would be freaking out. More kids die from the flu vs covid. If they reported that daily for years you would have been for the face diaper long ago.
Context.
By the way the big bad delta curve in the US is already trending downward. I miracle we got through it eh?
Do you believe the vaccinated should be given priority for ICU beds over the unvaccinated? Do you believe smokers and fat people should be given a lower priority even if they're vaccinated?

Again you have no idea.
The vast majority of deaths are people 65 and over. Around 80% of all deaths to be exact.
Those are not the ages of people with kids.
So stop your fear mongering. Stop your fear.
Covid is here to stay. Learn to live with it.
You cannot run from it. Masks wont stop it. We cannot social distance the rest of our lives.
Stop living in fear.
Wait, what? Are you telling me I won't have any kids in 10 years?

Ah...see you are asking for intellectual consistency. Not going to happen there.
They have not thought through the implications of what they advocate.

I thought you would have had a more intellectual response. You are like that young child who wishes death on their own parents for not being allowed to eat candy before dinner. Take a deep breath, you will be ok.
I see no reason to believe the two are mutually exclusive. I am vaccinated, but I figure my own odds of catching a mild case of delta are nowhere near zero. No need to rush it, but it’s reasonably likely I’ll end up with both.
Quite a few vaccinated people are going to end up with boh natural and vaccinated immunity- either because they got vaccinated after infection, or because they had exposure after vaccination.

You are searching for a light at the end of the tunnel when what you need to do is let YOUR little light shine. If you need further advice on this, please refer to @crush. His little light shines so bright that I regularly need dark sunglasses to observe (No offense, Crush). Also, if I don't get off the toilet soon, my wife is going to wonder what I am doing in here.
I wonder if order matters? The one limited study was infection first, vaccination second gave you an advanced immunity. Does vaccination first, infection second give you the same advanced immunity? I would it suspect it does, but who knows. I wouldn't recommend getting the infection 2nd even if it gives you enhanced immunity.
BTW, I'm not saying if you've been infected don't get vaccinated (that's up to you and your Dr.). I just believe its not appropriate, and actually anti-science, to mandate one over the other, which is what is happening in many cases.

Some don't appear to understand the gross numbers very well. Nationwide 53 positive tests for COVID for children in the hospital should be in the Good News thread. I just hope the numbers stay that low.
Let's not pretend that its really about the protection of children, when the reality is that its for the protection of adults. That's why we hear the argument that "it doesn't matter that the virus poses little risk to children, what about community spread?" Community spread is a euphemism for "that snot nosed kid better not give me Covid".
Kind of moot.
Supposing they had evidence that infection before vaccination was slightly better than the other. What would you do with that information?
Probably just think "huh, interesting", but otherwise nothing.
I posted in another thread but I think you'll like this essay. It covers a lot of the things you have been saying about children.
Childhood, Interrupted
Children’s value — which was once predicated on their role as the literal future of humanity— has been perverted, now centering on their utility as shields for the elderly.
