Anybody hear President Biden calling Texas and Mississippi governors Neanderthals for rescinding mask mandates?

Lot of anger and disappointment there. I wonder it there's a better place to direct all that?

So weird how mask mandate states are also the no-school states...
2/n
 There’s a reason that those graphs look so similar—it’s b/c while there is no correlation between repressive COVID restrictions and COVID deaths, there IS a significant correlation between COVID Restrictions & low-no school, and high unemployment.

3/n
 Know where else there’s a lot of misplaced outrage? Around COVID deaths. Liberal outrage ought to be focused on the CDC explaining the giant spring spike highlighted in yellow. Instead, it’s focused on Florida’s much smaller green bump.

4/n
 The CDC completely deviated from its 2017 pandemic plan by instituting lockdowns in March. The results don’t look good. They look especially bad for minorities.

5/n
 But in order to avoid answering questions like “why did you completely abandon the plan,” they have trained the media’s (and your attention) on states that aren’t doing what the CDC says they should.
6/n
 Problem is, it’s important that you NOT notice that the states that STOPPED LISTENING TO THE CDC are doing BETTER than the states that ARE—and especially for minorities.

7/n
 Let’s just say, “systemic racism” is, as “systemic racism does.”
8/n
 Masking is not tied to a decrease in the spread of COVID or it’s lethality. In fact, if you watch this video, you might decide that they helped it to spread. I don’t think that is the case…
9/n
 However, I do sometimes wonder. Like, say, what would happen to the birth rate if we told people that holey condoms worked? Might it spike? Could be…

10/n
 It might be that by telling people works 100% to stop something, when you know it doesn’t, might cause it to spread faster, especially among vulnerable people who feel safer w/a lot of people masking (because the CDC told them they were).

 Bad things happen when you politicize science. And they happen especially to the most vulnerable.

12/n
 The CDC is the chief culprit in this (shocker that a gov’t agency would politicize something, right?) They don't know how to control the virus (see prior article). They DO know how to shift blame for failed policies.

 On 3/8, Dr. Fauci said we don’t need to be walking around in facemasks. Then on April 3rd, he changed course and said we should wear masks to help slow the spread.

What changed?

New emails released by Judicial Watch give us a clue (p. 298)

 In this message on 3/25, Canadian Dr., Gary Kobinger, one of the the members of the WHO STAG-IN task force, we may have our answer.
3/n
 Dr. Kobinger suggests cloth masks might work b/c mask-wearing countries in East Asia seemed to have lower transmission vs. the rest of the world. He explicitly notes that data shows they DON’T work for flu or rhinoviruses--and DIDN’T work for SARS

 We are in a 5-alarm social justice emergency. But the culprits are those states whose populations claim to care the most about social justice. BLM support is tightly tied to repressive COVID policies that result in stunningly low access to education and high unemployment.
2/n
 There is no link whatsoever between these stringency measures and decreased deaths. There IS a very strong link between these policies, high unemployment, and extremely limited access to education.
3/n
 This is because these policies have nothing to do with science or health, and everything to do with politics. Race, BLM and COVID policies have been wildly politicized, which is why these policies have their tightest correlation with BLM support.

 This is true: ONLY thing that defines a state’s response to this is the political leaning of the populace—not the governor. This is why the electoral map correlates nearly perfectly with school closures. We the people are the problem—and the solution.
2/n
 And no, these restrictions don’t result in lower death. Only more unemployenent and lower traditional 5-day in-person school.

3/n

And yes, masks are part of the problem, not part of the solution. Belief that we can and must control the disease, rather than live with it are symbolized by the near religious belief in the “power” masks. Even the wording is religious.

WRT the @CDCDirector remember, her “credentials” are advising the state with:

- 3rd highest COVID death rate in U.S.
- only 3.5% of kids in 100% in-person school.
- 38th highest unemployment

ALL due to her beloved restrictions.

This is what COVID “success” looks like now.
In her home town (also mine, Newton, MA), she was unable to have any impact on schools (she wrote a letter).

If she can’t open our schools in our wealthy near-Covid-free town, she sure isn’t going to be able to do it elsewhere.

When you select for failure, you get more of it.
When the CDC stops misconstruing everything about COVID to hide its role in using the pandemic as a political tool, kids in blue states will return to schools, and people will return to work. Not before.

 Repressive COVID policies are NOT tied to a reduction in deaths.

Repressive COVID policies ARE linked to EXTREMELY low levels of in-person learning, and high unemployment.

#ZeroCOVID basically equates to #ZeroSchool, #ZeroJobs, #ZeroLife--and the same death.
2/n
 4x fewer children have access to full-time, in-person learning in the most repressive 50% of the country, relative to the least repressive states.

2.5x are learning 100% virtually in the most repressive, compared to the least repressive.

Unemployment is 30% higher.
3/n
 At the poles the difference is greater yet

In the least repressive states, 9x more children have access to 100% in-person learning than in the most repressive

In the most repressive states, 6X more children are “learning” 100% virtually. Unemployment is 50% higher

1/many

COVID has been politicized. Children and families in blue states are paying the price. On average, in red states, 3x as many children have access to 100%, 5-day/week in-person learning as in blue. Nearly 4x as many children in blue states are 100% remote (sources @ end)
2/n
 This politicization is not saving lives. The average deaths/million in red states is only slightly higher than those in blue states, despite measures that are nearly twice as strict. Follow me for state-by-state data…
3/n
 11 states have fewer than 10% of students w/access to 5-day per week in-person learning. All are blue save 1. 10 states have 70% or more children w/access to 100% in-person learning. All are red states.
