[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would vote for her if she could say something like "I will definitely not support council efforts to close schools again and move to return normalcy to kids."  Hell, I'd vote for Mendo if he said that.

One issue voter right now.[/quote]

In what universe do you think the Council is going to move to close schools again? That ship has sailed. No one even has the guts to propose a return to mandatory masks in schools when disease spread is high. It’s normal again, whether we like it or not. Time to find a new issue to obsess over.[/quote]

Well, when the Council considered closing schools in January, 2022, I began to think all bets are off.  I have zero trust that the wackadoodles on the Council won't try something again.  Hell, we are still the only place in the country with a vaccine mandate for all schoolkids, [b]despite the fact that the vaccines for the 5-11 set are proving to be fairly useless for the people that get them or for anyone around them[/b].[/quote]

Stop spreading misinformation. It protects them against hospitalization and severe disease. [/quote]

It's not.  The risk for hospitalization and death is tiny for that age category.  Cutting in half a tiny number is a tiny number.  And basically has no impact on transmission (hence no protective effect on others).  Add to that declining efficacy over time.

Plus does the Council even get that you have a high percentage of AA kids who aren't getting vaccinated, and do they care what a mandatory vax would mean for those kids' attendance and school retention?  The Council is nuts around this issue.  They shouldn't be trusted trying to make decisions about schools and covid.[/quote]
