[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Studies in Sweden and Norway showed us by the end of 2020 and before vaccines that it was safe to open schools with some basic precautions. But many school districts in blue states kept out school closed until late 2022 despite the plethora of empiric evidence saying it wasn’t necessary as well as growing evidence of harm from the school closures.

None of these people have been held accountable for this malfeasance. [/quote]

European studies conducted in European cities don't transfer to our environment. European schools are much, much smaller than American ones and their classrooms have windows that can be opened for ventilation, unlike the giant windowless prison bunkers our children attend.[/quote]

Uh what? There are 450 million people in the EU and children go to schools of all sizes, in urban areas and in rural areas.  Virtually all of them opened after the initial ~6-8 week closures and yet had much lower levels of COVID spread than we did in the US in 2020. Time to admit extended school closures were an enormous mistake. [/quote]

Most of Europe had much lower rates of COVID than the US did, thanks to Donald Trump's "herd immunity" plan, where he actually tried to get as many people infected as possible.  [/quote]
