Thanks for this; that cleared some things up for me! I had not thought about the fact that they will also be giving a placebo and you wouldn't know if your child has a placebo or actual vaccine. I get why they need to do that for research purposes, but had not considered that and am not sure I would be comfortable with it. I am also wondering how far away we are from them making a determination that the vaccine is safe for teens/older kids. I saw Dr Fauci being asked questions by kids and he indicated that he thought he might have an answer in a few months, but I have not heard anything about this and wonder where we are with this.
