The state of #education in #Seattle currently:

@SeaPubSchools: We don't have enough bus drivers to get your kids to school, so we are going to stagger start times between 7:30 and 9:30.

Sorry not sorry, parents who work and kids who play sports. (1/)

westseattleblog.com/2022/04/school…
Also @SeaPubSchools - we don't have enough Narcan to handle all of the kids who are OD'ing at school. Two doses per school isn't enough for any given day.

I'm sure this has nothing to do with school closures or insane Covid policies, even though overdoses are "rising". (2/)
Meanwhile, in Seattle private schools, healthy kids are being required to quarantine for 5 days after their vacation AND test negative on a PCR test for Covid-19.

Of course, this only applies to the unclean (aka unvaxxed) kids. (3/)
And of course, prior natural immunity is completely irrelevant: (4/)
PS, "emergency" use authorization vaccines are required for all kids out of an abundance of "safety": (5/)
Even though vaccinated 5-11's are getting Covid at twice the rate of unvaxxed kids, while boosted 12-15 years olds are 20% more likely to get Covid than unvaxxed. Again, I'm sure natural immunity has nothing to do with this unexplicable phenomenon. (6/)

Meanwhile, masks are "optional" although you'll be shamed and blamed should you dare to show your face around the school. You'll be reminded of the immunocompromised, the kids under 5 who aren't "eligible", and little Johnnie's grandma who will certainly die if you get sick. (7/)
Great job at following #TheScience™, team! Keep up the good work of keeping our kids "safe". It's working miracles!

...or maybe it isn't doing a damn thing other than harming the kids, judging by Seattle's higher-than-national-average Covid transmission rate...

(8/8)

A little🧵to provide some context about life in a red-ish suburb of a purple state vs. deep blue progressive Seattle.

For those of you who don’t already know my story, I was born and raised in Seattle, never living more than 10 miles from Downtown Seattle in my life, until August of 2020. 1/
I’m a 4th generation small business owner & entrepreneur and I started my company when I was in the business school at the @UW. My company is the 4th one my family founded and operates, and we are located in the heart of Seattle.

(For the inevitable haters, I did all of this with zero family support or outside capital, and I paid my own way through college too). 2/
In August of 2020, I moved my family to Scottsdale, AZ for one reason: school closures.

We had two young kids (who we now know have special needs) and weren’t willing to sacrifice their long-term well-being over Seattle’s COVID lunacy.

We had already opted out of public schools, but @GovInslee’s rules had managed to close even the private schools in Seattle, so we decided to opt out of WA. 3/

There’s been a pattern of lies coming straight from @azbethlewis over the past 3 months. Her claim of nearly 142,000 signatures was just the latest. After a weekend of hard work at the Secretary of State’s office, the petition count is final and it’s only 8175 total. 1/
Through public disclosure requests, we’ve sampled the petitions which average 10.2 signatures each, not the 13.9 claimed by @arizona_sos. Our estimate of their actual signature count is roughly 83,000, or less than 60% of what they claimed. 2/
Even if their 13.9 signatures per petition was correct, they’d have only 113,633 signatures. 5k less than required to put HB2853 to the ballot. Arizona voters truly have spoken, and they’ve rejected the disinformation peddled by @arizona_sos over the past 3 months. 3/

And @arizona_sos wonders why we don’t trust public schools? It’s stories like this. We heard SO MANY of them as we were working through the process of getting a diagnosis and an intensive intervention for our 2e dyslexic son. “You have a private school kid” we heard.
Our neuropsychologist and dyslexia center director repeatedly said what a disaster our local public school district was for dyslexic kids. “Stay away” they said, “your child probably wouldn’t even qualify for an IEP because of his giftedness”.
Yet our for-profit private school bent over backwards to accommodate him. 3x weekly sessions with a reading specialist. Every accommodation we asked for was granted without question.

This is why every parent deserves school choice. No child should be denied a FAPE.

Since I poke the hornets' nest every time I tweet about getting Covid, here's another one:

I got vaccinated because they said it was 95% effective against transmission.

That was pure and utter bullshit. It was hope/lies/fraud.

I should have ready the Pfizer study myself. 1/
At the time, I was pretty darn sure I'd already had it. I had all the symptoms. Temp of 103+ for 4 days in Jan 2020. Dry cough that lasted for weeks. Intermittent racing heartbeat that lasted for months.

As soon as I could get an antibody test, I took it.

It was negative. 2/
So I talked at length with my doctor before getting vaccinated.

He's a specialist - an allergist/immunologist. He's thoughtful and doesn't panic.

We agreed the risks were minimal based on the trial data.

We were wrong. 3/

I tested positive for SARS-CoV2 last Sunday. It’s my 3rd time having it, and I’m fully vaccinated (which I now believe was a huge mistake).

To placate those still terrified of Covid (which seems to be about 20% of Seattleites) I stayed home for 5 days, per CDC guidelines.

1/
Yet at day 5, I was still testing positive for the virus. In fact, the rapid tests lit up faster and with a darker line on day 5 than when I first tested. By day 5, my fully vaxxed wife was also testing positive, and was pretty sick and symptomatic (fever, cough, etc.).

2/
My only symptom was congestion, which was extremely unremarkable. Meanwhile, my naturally immune kids never got sick. Not the first time (before we knew what Covid even was), not the second time (when they tested positive but had no symptoms), and not this 3rd time.

Since I wasn't granted my one minute to speak at the WA Board of Health meeting, here's what I wanted to say, and all of you deserve to hear. 1/
Members of the Board of Health:

To very briefly introduce myself, my name is Kevin Gemeroy, and I’m a 4th generation West Seattleite, local entrepreneur and small business owner, a Covid data guru, and Covid policy refugee. 2/
I am not and do not claim to be a scientist or a medical doctor. What I am is a Tech CEO, parent of two young boys and a concerned citizen. I am both trained and heavily experienced in reading data & charts, reviewing results with a critical eye... 3/
