That's a wonderful letter. Unfortunately, the people you're dealing with cannot be reached through objective, rational argumentation.

Also Zac -- do we actually have studies that vaccinations of _children_ fail to prevent covid spread to adults? Or are you jumping from the claim (which actually imo isn't really confirmed yet, given all the confounds) that since vaccines given to adults are not stopping covid-spread in adults, vaccination of children also will not affect spread among adults? Remember the natural experiment involving mandatory flu vaccination of children in Japan, where the vaccination resulted in a reduction of "37,000 to 49,000 deaths per year, or about 1 death for every 420 children vaccinated," almost all of elderly adults? https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/11259722/
