COVID Was Never a Significant Danger to Kids, New Study Shows

COVID policies hurt children more than the disease

COVID policies on schools and children were even less defensible than originally believed, according to a new study.

Despite lack of evidence school closures were basically universally supported by “experts” and the media over the past few years.

Fauci repeatedly campaigned for schools to close and stay closed if local officials determined it was necessary. In August 2020 he told The Washington Post that politicians “may want to pause before they start sending the kids back to school for a variety of reasons.”

Major media outlets also were relentless in their promotion of school closures, with the unfortunate support of doctors and infectious disease professionals.

One New York Times article written by a professor of pediatrics at the University of Indiana in March 2020 stated definitively, “Closing schools can make a big difference in flattening the curve.” While the writer did mention harms, they were summarily dismissed.

More and more schools have chosen to close in the past few days, reflecting a growing consensus that the benefits of closings outweigh the harms, especially since many of the harms can be mitigated.

He concluded that “school closures and significant physical distancing are starting to look like the best bet.”

Yet now further research has shown that these policies, beyond being pointless and ineffective, were attempting to stop an airborne virus that clearly was a vanishingly small risk to children.
