    Tucker Carlson's major points sound logical to me...... were the experts wrong in regards to the closure of schools?

    If the actual danger from COVID 19 to anybody younger than eighteen is far less than the probability of them committing suicide when the media scares the daylights out of them..... then the school closure may have been a basically bad idea.

    If thousands of sixteen to eighteen year olds are not in school....... and spend more time driving..... then the numbers for fatalities for sixteen to eighteen year olds from car accidents may be far higher than the number who might perhaps have died from COVID 19.

    That is not to get into the increase in alcholism and drug addiction among teenagers who are not in school so.....

    If the parents are drinking more.....
    and the kids are stuck at home with them.....
    the possible negative impacts are pretty obvious.

    Operation Covid is a scam of epic proportions.

    Well, that's your first mistake.

    There is a learning curve when you get hit with a pandemic. If you look at the first 2 or 3 years of AIDS, it was a nightmare. But the worst of it, always, are the politicians.

    This time, it was Trump disbanding the pandemic team, pretending the disease wasn't a big problem (he's on tape telling Woodward that it was) and not fighting it.

    We are still learning. It's not hard to tell, just look at the resurgence of the disease in Europe.

    Time to step back from the crazy and go with what works. Which is what Biden will be doing soon.

    I think they were right to close schools and wrong to re-open them. Schools are not populated by only under 18 year olds. There are numerous older adults in them from teachers to janitors and lunch ladies who are not "practically immune" as Trump phrased it. Technology provides us ample opportunities to distance learn. I do find political incongruence in the side always complaining about schools indoctrinating children being so hell bent to get the little ones back into the re-education camps.

    If history books are written, and if they are truthful and accurate, they will note that in 2020 mass hysteria and universal deception ruled public policy in the US of A.

    I took my first COVID 19 test in July after feeling a sore throat coming on...... I am a janitor at a school.

    I didn't like the test because it made me want to sneeze..... and under the circumstances with nurses dressed like they were in a biological war....... I just didn't like the idea of sneezing.

    I had bleeding ulcers since I was four years old and rheumatoid arthritis from the time I was fourteen until I was about twenty or twenty one. My immune system was always kind of bad.... I had four to six rather nasty colds or flu annually.... plus really bad allergies or hay fever.

    From 1999 I took MSM that seemed to greatly boost my immune system so I wondered.... what would tripling my dosage of MSM, (that is technically just food that is sourced from plants anyway, and has zero toxicity), do toward preventing me from perhaps having to have another COVID 19 test?

    So... I've tripled my weekly intake of MSM... and so far so good..... I haven't had a single cold or even a sore throat..... and no second COVID 19 test since that one in July.

    Your doctor cannot tell you about this though...... for many reasons.....
    but mostly because it is not a drug... it is technically a food supplement.....
    but..... the following was probably written by Stanley W. Jacob M. D.....
    but perhaps by one of the other physicians who researched nutritional sulphur, methyl suphonyl methane that veterinarians have been using for a century or more.

    You should really think about the title of this book that I read back in 1999......

    I do absolutely agree with your comment that we should do what actually works.

    In a way you are correct that this is not about oil....
    this is partly about money... and power and control.

    This sounds to me like something that can be traced back to the ideas of neo-Malthusians.

    One of the reasons we have the CDC is to annoy Malthusians.

    The older folks who work at the schools should have been given the option to stay home while keeping schools open for everyone else.

    Distance learning may be ok for high school students, but it is pretty useless for younger kids. Not to mention that staring at a screen all day isn't good for anyone.

    As to your last point, yeah, I do wonder if going to school even makes any sense, since they are fast becoming re-education camps. So, I guess I'm a little torn on the issue.

    Depends on how they were running their program. Our local system originally set up to do the whole year virtual. It wasn't going to be 7 hours of zoom lectures a day because not all students have internet access. They switched up at the last minute into a system of block days in school and blocks out of school. I went through the school system's website before classes started that had some of the initial virtual lesson modules online. Some of the classes would have involved more screen time than others. Students with no internet would have had their parents pick up and drop off written assignments in basically drive thru's at the physical school they would have been attending.

    As a question of "science" how does that help? Assuming the theory that they are catching it/spreading it at school (which in large part has been proven to be false), how is only going there on Monday and Wednesday going to help? And if the teacher is in danger (also pretty much disproved), how is only seeing little Susie on Monday and Wednesday going to keep her safe? The authorities have done so many foolish and silly things just to make it look like they are doing something.

    Yes, they were terribly wrong about the schools. We know now that children seldom catch corona, seldom spread it, and hardly ever get really sick with it.

    They go a monday/tuesday block, clean the school on wednesday and then another group goes thursday and friday and they clean the schools on Saturday. What we know is that it is seldom severe in kids, not that they seldom catch it, spread it, or become sick at all.

    I think that this guy does a good analysis regarding COVID 19 and school closures.
