Taking the “wait” argument to its logical extreme, it seems to me one could argue not only waiting for kids to get vaccinated, but waiting until COVID rates are minimal, so immune compromised people can safely attend.
I don’t think it’s necessary or appropriate to take everything to its logical extreme, but it seems to me that if one is going to advocate waiting for one group but not another, it’s important to clearly articulate the moral principle behind that distinction.
I’m not a dancer, but my instinct is that a “reasonable accommodation” model is appropriate here: there’s a moral imperative to make events as accessible as reasonably possible, but not to cancel any event that isn’t 100% accessible to every person.
