Respect? Yes.
Sacrificing the keiki in order to respect the kupuna? No.
That's a false choice now. Wearing a mask and taking a vaccine doesn't sacrifice any keiki.
The lockdowns, quarantines and Covid related restrictions continue.
Just so that we're all clear, here are the Covid deaths by age as of this month.
65-74 Years 21.8%
75-84 Years 26.7%
85+ Years 29.4%
So 77% of the covid casualties are senior citizens and yet we want to fight over masks in school and shots for children.
Child mortality rates are
0-4 Years* 0.1%
5-11 Years* 0.1%
12-15 Years* 0.1%
16-17 Years* 0.1%
* For these age groups, Percentage of deaths was less than 0.1%

Those percentages fail to recognize that the vast majority of deaths occurred prior to vaccines being available-January 2020-February 2021. I believe the number of deaths in 2021 from Covid is around 100,000, about 1/7 the total number of US covid deaths. For 2021, age group 50-65 is almost equal to older groups for deaths. These are not senior citizens!
And of course, many hospitalized survive, so total burden on society/health care professionals is greater than that.
