These mandates will follow similar ones around America that originally were targeted for adults. According to officials in San Francisco, children as young as five will soon have to actually present proof of vax to enter the same places as their parents do.
Parents are presumably outraged considering according to the city’s own stats that nobody under the age of 20 has succumbed to the virus within city limits since the pandemic started two years ago. That reportedly will not stop the new mandates for children.
‘San Francisco is going to mandate 5-11 year olds have the vaccine to participate in society,’ one Twitter user wrote Thursday morning, in response to the mandate announced Tuesday.
‘Are parents going to have to carry birth certificates with them to restaurants and grocery stores to prove their 4 year olds are ineligible?’
San Francisco wants to mandate COVID vaccines for children as young as 5 years-old to attend public events,’ another social media user wrote Wednesday.
The user then noted: ‘San Francisco hasn’t had a single COVID death in any person under the age of 20.’
Another concerned commentator added: ‘This is the most draconian vaccine passport system anywhere in the United States or Europe.’
‘If you don’t feel safe sitting in a coffee shop unless the five-year-old across the room is vaccinated,’ the user continued, ‘you should stay home.’
