*POW!!*

An organization that is supposed to defend children actually *gasp* defending children!!

Vaxes are a godsend for the vulnerable.

The case different case for school kids, whose IFR is 0.001%.

Below, the IFR for school age children calculated from the CDC's most recent infection estimates, and deaths through 2 weeks after.

Any trial would be healthy children, whose risk might literally be zero, and is certainly approaching to 1:1 M

Again, the vaxes are a god-send to the vulnerable.

It is because the CDC is refuses to use its own data to help people understand their relative risk, that people who are at serious risk for the disease have had one vax option removed now.

More misfeasance by the CDC.
The ONLY reason for advocating for children to get vaccines is to provide a ground for Teachers' Unions not returning to in-person school next year.

Yes, they CAN draw this out forever.

Masks don’t work to stop COVID, though they work wonders keeping kids out of school & unemployment high

But WHY don’t they work? Let’s see

Rather than thinking of respiratory aerosols like tiny spit globules, a better metaphor is cigarette smoke

2/
Cigarette smoke is almost the exact same size as 99% of virus-carrying breath aerosols-- <1 micron. The majority of these particles are in the 0.2 – 0.25 micron range--just like the majority of breath aerosols.

3/
This is the EXACT range of breath aerosols. The chart below shows that out of around 11K breath aerosols generated during 5” of breathing, only about 25 are over 1 micron~0.02%. 90% are <0.3 microns—the exact same size & distribution as cigarette smoke.

Masks ARE political. They have no basis in science—except perhaps political science—and have ZERO impact on COVID deaths or cases.

Pitched as no-cost interventions they are in-truth linked to incredible societal harms--visited in proportion to their adoption.
2/
While there is no linkage between masking and COVID deaths, they are linked to ultra-low levels of in-person schooling.

If these two charts were flipped, masks would be a no-brainer. That they are not means masks—and the fear they generate—are causing grave harm.
3/
Masks are also linked to significantly higher levels of unemployment—driving closures in services industries, and generally making people afraid of engaging with each other. The brunt of this is borne by blue states with strong mask mandates.

In Oregon: Public comment period for permanent masking and distancing closes on April 2nd

We are watching the cultural equivalent of prohibition being instated by regulators— happening at federal level too

Once in place only legislation can overturn

Lockdown-driven public health interventions have skewed COVID-19 infections in a deadly way, driving the virus away from the young, and towards the old. This distribution looks nothing like other pandemics over the last 100 years.

2/
By shunting the disease to the most vulnerable, these actions have nearly doubled deaths, increasing deaths from COVID-19 by more than 150K through 1/9/21 alone. This is a direct result of NOT taking a #FocusedProtection approach.
3/
Far from flattening the curve, these actions have also increased hospitalizations by more than 25% had the virus been allowed to take a more natural course, where the young and healthy bore the brunt of the disease.

Prologue

1/
Last week UT (the most child-centric state in the country) set an expiry for their mask mandates--leaving it in place for children. This must not stand. I created a series of 4posts to arm parents with data to challenge this. This is the 1st

Back in summer, many school districts made a “deal” with parents and children. Mask your kids, allow us to severely restrict their ability to interact with other children as human beings, and they can go to school.
3/
Parents were desperate, having watched the learning loss and depression of the spring, so they acquiesced.

Un-masking Children:
Thread 1 of 4: The Role of Children in COVID-19 Transmission

1/
Children are not major drivers of COVID-19 transmission. This, the most authoritative study on transmission found not one incident of child-to-adult transmission.

nejm.org/doi/pdf/10.105…
2/
The study was a population-representative survey, after identifying COVID positive people, they used genome sequencing and contact tracing to identify how the disease spread through the community. This level of rigor is unique.
3/
Other studies that attempt to claim significant child-to-adult transmission of COVID have not performed this analysis. The genome-sequencing is what allowed them to say definitively that none of the cases was spread from a child to an adult.
