Also, keep in mind that the (immunized) parents of these kids now getting covid are getting, in some or even in most cases, massive amounts of viral load until the kid is either over it in the case of home confinement, or until the kid goes into the hospital. Delta is more transmissible, and thus more contagious and assumedly more infectious. When the load exceeds what the immune system can handle, disease results.
It’s not like mom and dad can simply lock the kid into his room and shove food under the door, diligently disinfecting and staying as far away as possible.
So yeah, the current reservoir of unvaccinated include kids under 15 (or is it 18?). It ain’t over yet.
Breakthrough infections leading to hospitalization and death, which are very rare, are primarily in seniors, not parents of school aged kids. It is the unvaccinated parents at high risk, not the vaccinated ones. While we wait for vaccine approval for kids under 12, we need parents to get immunized to keep themselves and their children safe.
