I don't think it is responsible in the slightest to go to a crowded movie theater, unvaccinated, only wearing a paper mask. Even more so when a safe an effective vaccine is available. I understand your point, but this road goes both ways.


Do you think that no children under 12 should be going to movie theaters today? Because none of them are allowed to be vaccinated yet.


I would think it is fine. There have been a total of 340 Covid related deaths for ages 0-18.

Well that depends on what dogma you choose to eat. Do you think that children are susceptible to complications from COVID? Other commenters in this thread have pointed out data that shows children have less chance of complications vs the common flu.

Since this is the dogma I choose to eat, the one supported by facts and data, I would say that it would be fine for unvaccinated 12 year olds to visit movie theaters. As long as they aren't able to spread it to vulnerable family members who are unable to get the vaccine due to medical reasons. But even then, that should be a decision the family makes. Not the government
