Finally, for those in an abusive relationship, it is important to remember:
✅ You are not to blame for being mistreated
✅ You are not the cause of the abuse
✅ You deserve to be treated with respect
✅ You & your kids deserve a safe and happy life
✅ You are not alone

Irwin Redlener has been an influential voice in closing schools, masking students, & pushing for vaccine mandates.
Unsurprisingly, Redlener has a 30 year history of partisan activism, ties to the Clintons, & a desire for media attention.
2/10 Redlener has been a key advisor to @AFTunion & Randi Weingarten.
In yesterday’s town hall with @OpenschoolsUS, Redlener seemed unable to debate research & instead excoriated “red states” & “Trump” while ironically saying this shouldn't be political.
3/10 Yet, partisan politics is entirely what Redlener has been involved with throughout his career.
Starting in the early 90s, Redlener organized a group of medical professionals to endorse Bill Clinton's presidential campaign. He has been closely tied with the Clinton’s since.

18 months into the pandemic and it is still clear that masking children is an ineffective policy not supported by research or data.
I’ve provided 2 sources for each claim but can offer many more if needed.
I’ve also addressed Delta & recent studies at the end of this 🧵
2/14 (1) “our data indicate that children are at far greater risk of critical illness from influenza than from COVID-19.” jamanetwork.com/journals/jamap…
(2) “Children and young people remain at low risk from COVID-19 mortality” osf.io/ezdf2/
3/14 (3) “…children are not the main drivers of SARS-CoV-2 transmission.” cmaj.ca/content/193/17…
(4) Children rarely transmit infection to others and more frequently have an asymptomatic or mild course compared to adults. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.10…

I never thought I’d have to reiterate that children are not the primary drivers of covid-19
But I guess the desire to vaccinate kids makes folks like @apoorva_nyc & the @nytimes just give up on honest reporting
It’s complete BS
So here are 30 articles for your review 🧵
