Facts About Children, Schools And Covid-19

Of all the groups thrown under the bus, none got run over harder than kids.

Self-serving and selfist adults have used children as human shields. These cowards have projected their fears onto kids and in the process may have unleashed a series of mental health issues for years to come.

Telling kids they need to be muzzled because they pose a mortal threat to people is just about the most despicable thing that has come out of this disgusting over reaction.

Just sickens me at the lack of rational thought on full display. 

These same people keep talking about how they 'follow the science' but it's hard to accept when the measures they support aren't backed by scientific data or literature. Notably masks and schools as main drivers of outbreaks. We have plenty of studies now from several countries and states showing schools are safe; that kids aren't vectors of the disease and aren't in any significant health danger from Covid with influenza remaining the main threat to children.

These facts are important moving forward because it impacts decisions and policies regarding schools and children.

The bottom line is we should not be doing what we're doing.

I hope to start pumping out some of the studies I've researched numbering now into the thousands. Yes, thousands.

So I'll start with schools and kids.

Here's a post I penned for Fearless Canada on the matter.
