[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]All of you objecting to asymptomatic testing, don't you remember when we had children do asymptomatic testing for the swine flu in 2009-2010, causing tons of healthy kids who were close contact to miss school?  Oh yeah, neither do I.

The Swine flu is estimated to have killed 3x to 4x more kids on an annual basis than COVID (CDC had to estimate because they weren't testing people like crazy):

Flu is also often transmitted asymptomatically:

Stop asking such logical questions!  Pfizer just announced that they could not directly test the efficacy of the vaccine in the trial they just conducted because of how rarely children 5-11 become seriously ill with COVID.

That is why I did not sign my children up for asymptomatic screening.  This nonsense has to stop.[/quote]

“Nonsense”? JFC. [/quote]

Yes, when a recent flu SIGNIFICANTLY more dangerous to children did not result in any asymptomatic testing, forced masking and other restrictive rules, the only logical explanation is pure hysteria.

H1N1 is still here too, just like COVID will be in 2031.  These policies imply COVID will be eradicated, which it will not be.  Significant disruptions of children's education for little benefit.[/quote]

You're forgetting these policies do provide the benefit to closed school activists of avoiding cognitive dissonance from the significant harm these closed school policies they advocated for inflicted on children (they're still advocating for closed schools as they want healthy children to be out of school).[/quote]

No one is advocating for “closed schools”, nut job.

Vaccinate*, mask, test.

*kids soon too!

Why do these things for something a fraction less deadly to children than H1N1?[/quote]
Because there isn't an H1N1 pandemic.[/quote]

0 logic. We didn't do them in 2009-2010 when the H1N1 pandemic occurred [/quote]

It wasn't a pandemic.[/quote]
I apologize.  I'm mistaken.  It was technically a pandemic.
