Dear Care and Feeding,

My daughter, 11, has been wonderful throughout the pandemic. She social distances at all times, we never have to remind her to put her masks on, and we found a fully virtual scholastic program so she can avoid the significant risks of large crowds in the public schools.

A few weeks ago, however, her other parent and I had an obligation that we both had to be present for (we are both vaccinated, it was socially distanced, and we were wearing masks). Usually one of us would stay home with her, but because of her maturity level and the short time we would be gone, we assumed we could trust her on her own.

When we arrived home, we found her with a friend of hers who lives about a block away. She has visited on occasion throughout the pandemic but they know the rules. They are to stay outside and on opposite ends of the driveway or patio. The patio only offers about 5 feet of distance, but we decided that should be enough as long as they stay outside and keep their masks on.

Anyway, when we arrived home on this particular day, both her and her friend were in the living room, sitting on the same couch, not wearing masks, not socially distanced, and each putting their hands into the same bowl of chips. Why she would take this kind of risk, I still don’t understand.

I immediately told her friend that she had to go home and to please inform her mother to call me at her earliest convenience. I then expressed my disappointment with my daughter and informed her how dangerous what she did was. I reminded her about the delta variant and how it’s caused so many children her age to end up in the ICU. I told her that she only has to wait a few more months until she’s eligible for the vaccine, and this isn’t the time to become complacent.

We took all the necessary steps to remain safe. She immediately quarantined in her bedroom for the suggested two weeks. I cleaned the house thoroughly and opened multiple windows to circulate the air. Luckily, we all came out of this debacle safely.

I still don’t feel I can trust her, though. I understand it’s normal for her to make mistakes, but this wasn’t forgetting to turn a light off or close the refrigerator. She put her life at risk. How do we start building the trust back?

No - Its ok to comment on something insane like what parents are doing to their children right now.

They are ensuring the next generation are damaged helpless little puppies.

I guess my son will more easily thrive then so maybe I shouldn't be too upset.
 
I wonder if the lecturing buffoon is taking his vow of silence as moment to reflect and reassess his processes of how we got here...

Hahahahahahaha just kidding I know academics are too stupid to critically think

The preventative qualities were always discounted. They were treating late and severe covid cases with it and not backing it up with the other necessary supplements.

But Tapate - They were giving Ivermectin and HCQ to people hours from death and it wasn't working. That must mean that those medications NEVER work.

You are spreading anti-vax propaganda says the good old Big Pharma lap dog nsacpi.

Why are people so slow to understand data?

What you have to understand is that some people enjoy being told what to do/believe/think. Once they believe a certain thing its hard to convince them otherwise regardless of proof. It's been this way since civilization started.

Vaccination of healthy people under 50 will end up being one of the worst decisions in human history.
