I had a .5% chance of losing our first baby and that happened six months before the pandemic began, so, you know, when you experience improbable loss like that, it makes the risk of going to say, a bar, feel less worthwhile for the baby you're grateful to have alive, for example.

I respect that everyone has different risk tolerances, and at this point in the pandemic, I spend a lot of time weighing my mental health against risk of the behavior I think would contribute positively to my mental health.
Must be nice to hypothesize that you would have felt totally cool with having an unvaccinated kid out in the world, though. I wish I could live in that brain.
Also, the absolute panic and dread that washes over you after you get a Covid exposure email from daycare and have to consider the reality of quarantining for two weeks as a result of that exposure is no joke, even if you're not worried about illness.
