Largest peer-reviewed study, 57,335 child care centers: “No evidence of child care being a significant contributor to COVID19 transmission to adults—finding consistent with previous studies showing lack of assoc btwn school closures & transmission rates”

As they did to granny, Covidians are trying to weaponize the immunocompromised to argue for policies that in fact serve their own immunocompetent neuroses. The most patronizing part is the assumption that all IC have the same take on how to balance competing values & risks.

Have we ever in human history conditioned our willingness to do things that give our lives meaning on assurances that we’d be 100% protected while doing them? What an empty & insane way to go about the business of doing life. 0 risk doesn’t exist on this side of the grave.

If it was bound to happen at some point, then what is the benefit of all the measures to stop it?

I'm #COVID19 Positive. Was bound to happen at some point I feel terrible today: Fever, aches, chills (Immune mediated symptoms). Cough (maybe immune, maybe virus) So, here we go. I'll update this thread daily. See photo for rapid test results + infection/test result description

Punishing purveyors of misinformation is not enough. If we wait till people start spreading misinfo—it’s already too late. Damage is done. We should instead nip the problem in the bud by prohibiting false beliefs. It’s better for people to have true beliefs, anyway.

This is the hardest school year we’ve ever faced. The challenges for educators are enormous and what you hear from teachers is that it’s been too much. And they’re trying the best that they can.

@kurteichenwald 1.8M kids kept going to school during the pandemic in Sweden’s including peak spread. Zero deaths among those students. Also no evidence of excess risk to teachers or parents relative to baseline either. 20+ other nations opened schools successfully. We need data over anecdote.

@brithume Agree. Sweden never closed day-care/primary/middle schools, with zero COVID19 deaths among 1.8 million children ages 1-15. Teachers did not have any excess risk compared to average of other professions.

The idea of protecting the entire population from spread of COVID, when you believe it’s impossible to protect a subset of the population, is an incoherent delusion. It’s a foolish idea, not scientifically supported, & would result in millions of preventable deaths globally.

The idea of protecting the vulnerable without controlling the spread of Covid is a delusion. It's a foolish idea, not scientifically supported, and would result in millions of preventable deaths globally.

Yes, it’s been difficult. There is learning loss. There are social-emotional challenges. In some cases, there is sickness, economic hardship, or trauma. But students are extremely resilient.

It’s immoral to mask kids all day for a virus that poses little risk to them. If adults are afraid of the faces of kids, they can vacc. The speculative prospect of a hypothetical IC in some contrived chain doesn’t override the right & need of kids to show & see their faces.

ZeroCovid is a good start but not enough. Need to aim for ZeroGerms. Some scientists say there are countless bacteria in all our stomachs. Can you believe that? Can thank the germ minimizers for that🙄 Enough is enough. All germs need to go so we can live normal lives again.

Behold... a #ZeroCovid utopia without any #COVID19 , no variants, no vaccine or syringe shortages, no mask wars, kids in schools, & people just having fun! It’s all possible if we aim for full suppression, and not just half-ass mitigation. We can do this.

Seeing a lot of Covidians repeating “eugenics, eugenics, eugenics” over and over in a kind of ecstatic echolalia, as they simultaneously demand measures that sacrifice the vulnerable to appease the anxieties of the aristocracy. Anyone know what’s going on?

9/ Yet these stories are getting more press than Iceland. This is especially weird here, as Iceland is not an outlier. It’s results are also corroborated all over the world. In fact, at this point so many datasets on point, it’s overwhelming. Here are two examples.
