I was really surprised at their attitudes, to be honest. These are the people who are not any drinking coffee at all right now because it might (might!) harm their unborn. But they're the same who are up in arms about mask mandates because they are inconvenient for their existing children and the "psychological side-effects" are supposedly worse than the chance of them actually catching Covid (I actually asked my students about this. The younger they are, the more normal it seems. My older students who were Very Opposed at first said it depended on what you'd eaten that day). I also don't understand their desire to explain this illness away so badly. Everyone who's had it around me (well, there haven't been that many, to be honest. I can think of.... seven people that I personally know who've had it) was very ill indeed, and three of those people were VERY healthy before they got Covid and then took months to bounce back. The ones most opposed and eager to pretend everything is fine, actually, are very suspicious of any government decision (cannot blame them in the least) AND only had mild cases themselves (good for them) and have not lost anyone to Covid (neither have I, but I don't have to to take this seriously).
