All I'm saying is if you sum up the time (between vaccine release and today) that a person was strongly protected from covid infection and transmission, it's a relatively small portion of that time.

Thats my pushback against gp's argument that you have to give this thing to your young kids to protect me.

I suspect that you and GP and GGP are talking about different time scales.

Vaccinating your children for COVID during peak COVID was the right thing to do both for them and for the adults they interact with.

Vaccinating your children for COVID today is much lower ROI for them and anyone around them.

Vaccinating your children in general is very much the right thing to do, both for them and for anyone around them.

I struggle to think of a decision or conversation where the relevant metric is "what % of time from vaccination until today were you protected" and I doubt that's what GP was discussing either.
