Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: The CDC has just got owned for lying to you
- 0:04Speaker 1: about the risk of having your kids in school, and
- 0:08Speaker 1: the dominoes are starting to fall. Now. This has all
- 0:11Speaker 1: happened not because of parents. This has all started to
- 0:14Speaker 1: happen because of children. And this may be the most
- 0:17Speaker 1: inspiring part of these lockdowns is seeing children, unfortunately having
- 0:23Speaker 1: more guts to push authority than the actual parents are
- 0:27Speaker 1: doing in this country. And it clearly is inspiring others
- 0:33Speaker 1: to take on these big tyrants that were not elected
- 0:37Speaker 1: by anyone. The faucis, the CDCs, all of these other
- 0:41Speaker 1: groups that have decided that they can have all this
- 0:43Speaker 1: power that they can give you. I give you an
- 0:46Speaker 1: example of just some of the headlines that have come out,
- 0:48Speaker 1: and I want you to really think about this, because
- 0:50Speaker 1: it rarely does a headline kind of shock me or
- 0:53Speaker 1: take me back anymore, because I mean, hell, I was
- 0:56Speaker 1: a commentator at CNN for seven years. You saw bias
- 1:00Speaker 1: like you've never seen before. But even this headline was
- 1:04Speaker 1: one of those where I looked at and I was like, wow, Wow,
- 1:08Speaker 1: this is really bad. There's a new headline on the
- 1:12Speaker 1: main page last night of CNN's website, and the headline
- 1:17Speaker 1: reads CDC gives limited freedoms to fully vaccinate it. When
- 1:27Speaker 1: did the CDC get any authority legally in this country
- 1:31Speaker 1: to decide what freedoms I can and cannot have. They're
- 1:34Speaker 1: not elected by anyone. This is what a power grab
- 1:38Speaker 1: sounds and looks like. Now back to these kids. The
- 1:40Speaker 1: kids are figuring out that they can actually hold some
- 1:44Speaker 1: of these leaders accountable by just saying, okay, we get it,
- 1:48Speaker 1: we understand what motivates you. It's money. What gives you
- 1:53Speaker 1: power and control is the purse strings. And we as kids,
- 1:57Speaker 1: have the ability to fight back by saying we're not
- 2:00Speaker 1: going to show up for online learning, you guys lose money.
- 2:02Speaker 1: In states, We've seen this with sports now, where kids
- 2:05Speaker 1: are saying, Okay, you're not gonna let's play sports in school. Fine,
- 2:09Speaker 1: what we're gonna do is not show up for class.
- 2:11Speaker 1: And then guess what happened. All of a sudden, all
- 2:13Speaker 1: the spring sports that we canceled and are the fall
- 2:15Speaker 1: sports are now going to be played in the spring.
- 2:17Speaker 1: You have school districts that are laying down quickly to
- 2:20Speaker 1: the kids because the parents didn't have the guts to
- 2:22Speaker 1: go to war with them, which they should have done
- 2:24Speaker 1: months ago. Well, now there's an amazing article that just
- 2:28Speaker 1: came out in the USA Today and what it says
- 2:31Speaker 1: is the CDC has misrepresented our research on opening schools.
- 2:37Speaker 1: This is coming from multiple doctors, doctor Tara Henderson, doctor
- 2:42Speaker 1: Monica Gandhi, doctor Tracy Beth Hogue, doctor Daniel Johnson. These
- 2:49Speaker 1: four doctors who are contributors writers to the USA Today
- 2:54Speaker 1: network of newspapers under USA Today has now come out
- 2:59Speaker 1: and been Old Today saying the CDC is lying. They
- 3:02Speaker 1: don't use the word lyne, they use the word misrepresented
- 3:04Speaker 1: our research. No, they're lying about your research on opening
- 3:07Speaker 1: the schools. And these four doctors have said that we
- 3:10Speaker 1: should loosen the rules now and get kids back in school.
- 3:15Speaker 1: These four doctors, and I truly believe they're being inspired
- 3:18Speaker 1: by the kids that are fighting back, not the adults,
- 3:20Speaker 1: because the adults have become wisses in this country. The
- 3:22Speaker 1: children are realizing we can get back in the classroom,
- 3:25Speaker 1: it is safe to get back in the classroom, we
- 3:27Speaker 1: can do sports, and it is safe to do sports.
- 3:29Speaker 1: And we're not taking no longer. They're going to war
- 3:31Speaker 1: with the adults. Their own parents aren't doing anything. These doctors,
- 3:37Speaker 1: I think understood this, and now they're mad at the
- 3:39Speaker 1: CDC because the CDC, who has no power to tell
- 3:42Speaker 1: you what you can and cannot do when it comes
- 3:44Speaker 1: to being elected again. Go back to the the scene in headline.
- 3:48Speaker 1: Their headline on their main page, their homepagees CDC gives
- 3:52Speaker 1: limited freedoms to fully vaccinated. When did the CDC have
- 3:56Speaker 1: the right to give me my freedoms or take away
- 3:58Speaker 1: my freenoms? When did the CDC get the power in
- 4:00Speaker 1: the authority. I want to see it in the constitution.
- 4:02Speaker 1: I want to see it in our laws. Where the
- 4:04Speaker 1: CDC has the right to give to limit or give
- 4:07Speaker 1: me limited freedom, it doesn't exist. Back to these four
- 4:13Speaker 1: doctors in this Amazing USA Today article, keeping schools closed
- 4:17Speaker 1: or even partially closed based on what we know now
- 4:20Speaker 1: is harming children. The four doctors right, the only thing
- 4:24Speaker 1: we have to fear is fear itself, nameless, unreasoning, unjustified terror,
- 4:30Speaker 1: which paralyzes needed efforts to convert retreat into advance. That's
- 4:36Speaker 1: how they start their article off, and then they quote
- 4:38Speaker 1: Franklin Roosevelt. The recent school reopening guidance release by the
- 4:45Speaker 1: CDC and prevention is an example of fear influencing and
- 4:52Speaker 1: resulting in misrepresentation of science and a harmful policy. These
- 4:58Speaker 1: four doctors penned today in the US. Today in the
- 5:01Speaker 1: United States, about half of schools are either in person
- 5:04Speaker 1: or a hybrid. President Joe Biden ran out on a
- 5:08Speaker 1: campaign indicating that science and data would guide his policies.
- 5:13Speaker 1: Now we know that Joe Biden is not doing his
- 5:15Speaker 1: policies or guidance based on the data, even though he
- 5:18Speaker 1: promised that, because he's doing whatever the hell the liberals
- 5:21Speaker 1: and the socialists and the teachers unions tell him to do.
- 5:25Speaker 1: Joe Biden said, I'm going to open the schools back up.
- 5:27Speaker 1: He ran and opened the schools back up. A lot
- 5:29Speaker 1: of people voted for him because he said he was
- 5:30Speaker 1: going to open up the schools, he was going to
- 5:32Speaker 1: make decisions based on science. But when it came down
- 5:34Speaker 1: to it, what has happened the complete opposite of that.
- 5:37Speaker 1: He's not doing anything based on science. He's doing things
- 5:40Speaker 1: everything based on the socialists and the unions and what
- 5:44Speaker 1: they say, which is, we don't want to go back
- 5:45Speaker 1: to school because we're getting and paid a ton of
- 5:47Speaker 1: money to sit at home, and we are going to
- 5:49Speaker 1: continue to stay home. This goes back to the teachers
- 5:52Speaker 1: unions in Los Angeles yesterday being busted on their own
- 5:56Speaker 1: message board saying, hey, guys, make sure you don't post
- 6:00Speaker 1: pictures of you out in groups for spring break. Don't
- 6:04Speaker 1: post pictures of you traveling. Certainly, don't post pictures of
- 6:07Speaker 1: you in foreign countries, are traveling internationally. If you do,
- 6:11Speaker 1: it'll be used against us for people that say we
- 6:14Speaker 1: are it's safe to open our schools. Kind of hard
- 6:17Speaker 1: for us to defend if all of you are vacationing
- 6:19Speaker 1: where a bunch of people are traveling outside the country,
- 6:21Speaker 1: and all the teachers like, oh, yes, that's right, great point.
- 6:23Speaker 1: Oh yes, I'm so stupid. And by the way, there
- 6:26Speaker 1: is the people teaching your children that they have to
- 6:29Speaker 1: actually be reminded of this crap and think it's brilliant
- 6:33Speaker 1: when someone reminds them of this crap. Think about that,
- 6:37Speaker 1: and these teachers like, oh, great point, Oh thank you. Yes,
- 6:40Speaker 1: that'll save us. You're right, that that'll absolutely save us.
- 6:46Speaker 1: Brilliant point. Because as teachers know it's safe to go
- 6:48Speaker 1: back school, they're just not going back to school because
- 6:50Speaker 1: there's power in numbers and the parents are refusing to
- 6:52Speaker 1: stand up to the kit to these teachers and to
- 6:55Speaker 1: the unions, and so is the president. So back to
- 7:00Speaker 1: these brave doctors that have finally come out saying this
- 7:03Speaker 1: is crap. The recent school opening guidance released by the CDC,
- 7:08Speaker 1: they say, is a policy totally based on fear influencing
- 7:14Speaker 1: and resulting in misrepresentation of the science. It is a
- 7:17Speaker 1: harmful policy in the United States. We can reopen. Biden
- 7:23Speaker 1: said that we were going to make decisions based on science.
- 7:25Speaker 1: He's not doing it, these doctors. Right as we approach
- 7:29Speaker 1: the anniversary the first COVID nineteen shut down, this approach
- 7:33Speaker 1: is needed more than ever, especially when it comes to
- 7:36Speaker 1: schools like in so many states California and Illinois, schools
- 7:40Speaker 1: are being hamstrung by the CDC guidance Because the CDC's
- 7:44Speaker 1: guidance is being used by these unions to say, oh no,
- 7:47Speaker 1: you can't open back up safely. The doctors continue to
- 7:51Speaker 1: write the guidance is not taken into account the data
- 7:53Speaker 1: we have regarding little disease transmission in schools. Nor although
- 7:59Speaker 1: the GIDEN sits the work performed across Wisconsin districts performed
- 8:05Speaker 1: by our group and published in the Mortality Weekly report,
- 8:10Speaker 1: does it take the data and new analysis from the
- 8:14Speaker 1: data set into account. In other words, these doctors are
- 8:17Speaker 1: accusing the CDC of purposely lying in misleading the public
- 8:22Speaker 1: so that schools have some sort of line they can say,
- 8:26Speaker 1: ce the CDC says it's not safe, so therefore we're
- 8:29Speaker 1: ain't showing up for work. These teachers that are refusing
- 8:33Speaker 1: to come back to work, who are using the CDC numbers,
- 8:37Speaker 1: have also come out with another story. And I'm going
- 8:39Speaker 1: to give you a side note because this is the
- 8:41Speaker 1: other part that I've been yelling about for months now
- 8:44Speaker 1: about what's happening these public school kids are not in
- 8:46Speaker 1: the classroom. There is a new opinion piece that also
- 8:50Speaker 1: came out in the USA today. You ready for this.
- 8:52Speaker 1: Teachers now are coming out saying it's unfair to give
- 8:56Speaker 1: kids tests amid the COVID nineteen pandemic. Yeah, teachers are
- 8:59Speaker 1: now demanding that standardized testing be canceled amid COVID nineteen pandemic.
- 9:04Speaker 1: And they say, if we standardize tests these kids, it
- 9:07Speaker 1: will do this will do kids and teachers more harm
- 9:11Speaker 1: than good. I'm not kidding. They say, quote testing now
- 9:13Speaker 1: will provide flawed data, increase stress, and distract from efforts
- 9:17Speaker 1: to keep students safe and repair the abbey education damage
- 9:21Speaker 1: caused by COVID. Are you kidding me? This is what
- 9:24Speaker 1: you're now writing you These teachers unions know exactly what
- 9:28Speaker 1: I know, and what the kids know, and what some
- 9:30Speaker 1: of the parents are finally admitting that is we are
- 9:33Speaker 1: are are failing our kids in a way that will
- 9:36Speaker 1: have consequences for decades, maybe these kids entire lives, and
- 9:41Speaker 1: they know, these teachers know that if we actually do
- 9:44Speaker 1: a standardized test this year, that so many of these
- 9:47Speaker 1: kids are going to be so far behind that then
- 9:49Speaker 1: parents will be activated and be livid, and it will
- 9:52Speaker 1: get political clout for others to say, we got to
- 9:54Speaker 1: get these kids back in school, and we made this
- 9:56Speaker 1: go on for far too long, and what are you
- 9:58Speaker 1: doing to our kids' lives besides destroying them, teachers unions,
- 10:01Speaker 1: And it would actually turn the country possibly against these
- 10:03Speaker 1: scumbag teachers unions. So now they're trying to jedi mind
- 10:08Speaker 1: trick you into believing that standardized testing amid the COVID
- 10:11Speaker 1: nineteen pandemic will do kids and teachers more harm than good.
- 10:15Speaker 1: How does it do a kid harm to have a
- 10:17Speaker 1: standardized test? It shows just how bad the education is
- 10:20Speaker 1: they've been receiving over the last year. I would argue
- 10:22Speaker 1: that's exactly what we need so that we can then
- 10:24Speaker 1: say this is exactly why we need to open back up. Now,
- 10:28Speaker 1: let's go back to the CDC and the doctors for
- 10:31Speaker 1: a moment. Here's what the doctors said. Keeping schools closed
- 10:35Speaker 1: or even partially closed based on what we know now
- 10:37Speaker 1: is unwarranted. It's harming children and has become a human
- 10:42Speaker 1: rights issue. That is what the doctors right in the
- 10:46Speaker 1: USA Today article today. Then they go on to list
- 10:50Speaker 1: the facts, the facts about COVID and the school Here
- 10:53Speaker 1: are the facts the doctors say. First, children are not
- 10:57Speaker 1: as at significant risk of poor outcomes from COVID nineteen.
- 11:02Speaker 1: As of Tuesday, two hundred and eighty eight children have
- 11:06Speaker 1: died from the disease in the United States of America,
- 11:08Speaker 1: compared to more than a half million Americans that have died.
- 11:12Speaker 1: Of the half million Americans that have died in this country,
- 11:17Speaker 1: I think we're at five hundred and thirty thousand people
- 11:20Speaker 1: that have died from COVID in America. Only two hundred
- 11:22Speaker 1: and eighty eight of them were children. And remember to
- 11:24Speaker 1: be classified as children that means eighteen or younger, so
- 11:28Speaker 1: this includes zero to seventeen year olds all the way
- 11:31Speaker 1: up to your birthday at eighteen. You compare this to
- 11:34Speaker 1: doctor say, with more than five hundred thousand adults who
- 11:37Speaker 1: have died, while the death of any child is devastating.
- 11:40Speaker 1: This is similar to the numbers who die numbers of
- 11:45Speaker 1: children who die from influenza each year. So in other words,
- 11:49Speaker 1: we are on pace with COVID to have about the
- 11:51Speaker 1: same number of childhood deaths as we do with the
- 11:54Speaker 1: flu every year, which means that we don't shut down
- 11:58Speaker 1: schools for the flues. So why the hell are we
- 12:00Speaker 1: shutting down our schools because of COVID. The doctors go
- 12:04Speaker 1: on to say, in COVID nineteen deaths and children and
- 12:07Speaker 1: adolescents are magnitude smaller than deaths from suicide in this country,
- 12:13Speaker 1: which have been driven through the roof by school closures.
- 12:16Speaker 1: Coronavirus and children can cause potentially damaging and dangerous complications example,
- 12:23Speaker 1: multi inflammatory syndrome and children also called MSDC, but this
- 12:29Speaker 1: is very rare and is and in rarely all cases, treatable.
- 12:34Speaker 1: The doctors also say this second viral spread of COVID
- 12:39Speaker 1: nineteen is minimal in schools with appropriate safety precautions, even
- 12:44Speaker 1: in communities with a high disease prevalence. Because that's the
- 12:47Speaker 1: argument the union teachers and says, we'll hold on in
- 12:50Speaker 1: this zip code, we have a high number of people infected.
- 12:52Speaker 1: So that's why we can't open these inner city schools. Right,
- 12:55Speaker 1: that's the argument these teachers unions are using. Soy, these
- 12:59Speaker 1: doctors put that side, saying even in communities with a
- 13:01Speaker 1: high disease prevalence significantly higher than the CDC red zone
- 13:06Speaker 1: that the CDC suggests middle and high schools be at
- 13:10Speaker 1: all virtual and elementary schools be hybrid if you're in
- 13:14Speaker 1: a quote red zone. Doctor Hog, one of the authors
- 13:17Speaker 1: of this article, led us study of four thousand, eight
- 13:21Speaker 1: hundred and seventy six grade K through twelve students and
- 13:27Speaker 1: six hundred and fifty four staff members in the Wisconsin
- 13:30Speaker 1: school district's last fall COVID nineteen tests. Positivity rates reach
- 13:36Speaker 1: forty one point six percent in the community during the study.
- 13:41Speaker 1: So the community where these schools were you had a
- 13:43Speaker 1: positive at COVID nineteen test positivity rate of those getting
- 13:46Speaker 1: tested at forty one point six percent. That's like hell
- 13:50Speaker 1: on Earth if you're looking at a map based on
- 13:52Speaker 1: COVID results, the doctor writes, notably, despite the majority of
- 13:57Speaker 1: ventilation systems not being replaced, which is one of the
- 14:01Speaker 1: demands of the teachers unions. Again, the teachers union are
- 14:03Speaker 1: demanding that the ventilation systems must be replaced before they
- 14:06Speaker 1: go back to work. And this doctor is saying, notably,
- 14:09Speaker 1: despite the majority of ventilation systems not being replaced, with
- 14:12Speaker 1: ninety two students wearing masks and no masks being warned
- 14:16Speaker 1: during recess and with variable distancing, there were only seven students.
- 14:23Speaker 1: Seven students, five children grades K through six, and two
- 14:28Speaker 1: in grade seven through twelve. Here's the other part. Zero
- 14:34Speaker 1: staff members contracted the virus in schools. Zero in Wisconsin
- 14:39Speaker 1: where they did this study of four thousand, eight hundred
- 14:41Speaker 1: and seventy six kids K through twelve and six hundred
- 14:45Speaker 1: and fifty four staff members in Wisconsin school districts. There
- 14:47Speaker 1: were in areas that were considered like the epicenter of
- 14:51Speaker 1: COVID spreading populations, not a single staff member got COVID
- 14:56Speaker 1: in school. The doctors gone to write. More experiences are
- 15:01Speaker 1: being published from North Carolina, South Carolina, Chicago, and other
- 15:06Speaker 1: cities and counties that are showing the exact same consistency
- 15:09Speaker 1: in the numbers. The doctor's going to write. Third, no
- 15:13Speaker 1: science supports mandating six feet of distance with children wearing masks.
- 15:17Speaker 1: Let me say it again, No science, the doctors say,
- 15:20Speaker 1: supports mandating six feet of distance with children wearing masks.
- 15:26Speaker 1: A six foot distance between students creates space constraints for
- 15:30Speaker 1: schools to open in their entirety. There is data supporting
- 15:35Speaker 1: at least six Excuse me, there is data, the doctors say,
- 15:39Speaker 1: supporting at least three feet of distancing. Now, these four
- 15:43Speaker 1: doctors that depend this article in USA today, One of them,
- 15:48Speaker 1: doctor Hoge, in his study, found that more than ninety
- 15:52Speaker 1: percent of elementary school children were less than six feet
- 15:57Speaker 1: apart in the classroom and while eating. Eighty percent of
- 16:01Speaker 1: grade seven through twelve or six feet apart in classrooms,
- 16:04Speaker 1: but less in hallways and while eating as well. Recently,
- 16:08Speaker 1: the CDC sided data of clusters of COVID nineteen cases
- 16:12Speaker 1: in Georgia. These doctors are now calling out the CDC, saying,
- 16:17Speaker 1: you guys are lying. In this study, students set less
- 16:20Speaker 1: than three feet apart, not just less than six feet apart.
- 16:24Speaker 1: There were small groups and small group instruction sessions in
- 16:28Speaker 1: which teachers set next to the students and many did
- 16:31Speaker 1: not wear masks or wore them inappropriately. The study also
- 16:36Speaker 1: shows which the CDC decided to omit. These doctors say, look,
- 16:40Speaker 1: states are getting the message and passing rules allowing for
- 16:43Speaker 1: three to six feet of spacing and schools using masking.
- 16:47Speaker 1: Why hasn't the CDC updated their guidance. The doctors go
- 16:52Speaker 1: on to say, fourth, despite the fear mongering, these are
- 16:55Speaker 1: doctors words. Okay, this is not a political article. These
- 16:58Speaker 1: are actual doctors and searchers who are the best in
- 17:01Speaker 1: the country, who have teamed up together to say the
- 17:05Speaker 1: CDC is misleading the American people, and they're lying to you,
- 17:07Speaker 1: and they're using this data inappropriately that we came up
- 17:11Speaker 1: with a they're using our own data as researchers and
- 17:14Speaker 1: taking out a context to screw the American people and
- 17:18Speaker 1: our kids because they don't want to go back to
- 17:20Speaker 1: school and they don't want to teach. The doctors going
- 17:23Speaker 1: to write fourth, despite fearmongering regarding variants in America, we
- 17:27Speaker 1: have not seen evidence the variants are spreading through in
- 17:31Speaker 1: person school learning. The researchers go on to look at France, Spain,
- 17:37Speaker 1: Switzerland and Belgium. They have all demonstrated that K through
- 17:41Speaker 1: twelve schools can remain fully open safely, even as the
- 17:43Speaker 1: United Kingdom variant became dominant in the UK. Moreover, masked
- 17:51Speaker 1: and over three feet distancing will protect against variance like
- 17:54Speaker 1: it does against all forms of the virus. Therefore, at
- 17:58Speaker 1: this time, variants are not reasons to keep the school's closed,
- 18:02Speaker 1: which is the one of the things that has been
- 18:03Speaker 1: quoted over and over again by the teachers unions in
- 18:07Speaker 1: conclusion in the USA Today article day a very brave
- 18:11Speaker 1: article by these doctors. Vaccination is one of the ways
- 18:17Speaker 1: for teachers and staff. Vaccination is expected to work against
- 18:21Speaker 1: the variants. There are two major arms of the immune system,
- 18:25Speaker 1: antibodies and T cells. Vaccines work in multiple ways, most
- 18:31Speaker 1: by introducing antibodies that usually provide more short term protection
- 18:34Speaker 1: or protection from mild illness. The COVID nineteen vaccines also
- 18:40Speaker 1: generate strong T cell immunity directed against the virus. These
- 18:45Speaker 1: T cells work against multiple parts of the virus, including
- 18:49Speaker 1: those that are conserved across conserved across variants of the virus.
- 18:56Speaker 1: The doctor's going to write a recent paper shows the
- 18:58Speaker 1: ability of COVID nineteen specific sales are protect against multiple variants.
- 19:02Speaker 1: In other words, mutations of the COVID nineteen virus. School
- 19:06Speaker 1: closure comes with a long term individual and social cost.
- 19:09Speaker 1: The doctors going to say. Many children cannot effectively learn,
- 19:13Speaker 1: They cannot learn social engagement with groups, how to socialize,
- 19:18Speaker 1: to be active, eat healthy food, or get support until
- 19:20Speaker 1: school physically reopens. Children with special needs and from disadvantaged
- 19:25Speaker 1: backgrounds are in general paying the largest price, the doctors say,
- 19:29Speaker 1: and most private school districts are open for in person instruction.
- 19:35Speaker 1: The divide between the have and have nots is exponentially growing,
- 19:39Speaker 1: which is exactly what I've been telling you for months.
- 19:42Speaker 1: The private school kids are so far ahead now, I
- 19:45Speaker 1: mean so far ahead of the public school kids it's
- 19:50Speaker 1: not even funny. And when this is going the data
- 19:52Speaker 1: is gonna come out, and the data is going to
- 19:55Speaker 1: be massive. I'm just telling you this. The data is
- 19:58Speaker 1: going to be huge and damning, and it's going to
- 20:02Speaker 1: show that the teachers unions put their own personal laziness
- 20:07Speaker 1: ahead of these kids. That's going to have lasting repercussions
- 20:10Speaker 1: for these generations for years to come. As most private
- 20:16Speaker 1: schools they say have opened, they've had no issues we
- 20:19Speaker 1: are observing as significant. They also say psychological epidemic and
- 20:23Speaker 1: children with depression and anxiety due to the isolation associated
- 20:28Speaker 1: with school closure. We are seeing a massive uptick in
- 20:31Speaker 1: suicidal behaviors. They say. Subsequently, lost wages as well for
- 20:37Speaker 1: families are now translating into real poverty, eviction, and food insecurity.
- 20:43Speaker 1: Recent research assess there are a greater risk to life
- 20:46Speaker 1: expectancy with schools clothes versus staying open. Finally, the doctors say,
- 20:53Speaker 1: we must act for children, and we can do this
- 20:55Speaker 1: while keeping staff and teachers safe. This can be accomplished
- 20:59Speaker 1: by appropriate distancing, masking hygiene, increasing ventilation when possible but
- 21:06Speaker 1: not mandated, all of which can be achieved readily and
- 21:09Speaker 1: immediately in classrooms and schools. Teachers and staff will have
- 21:13Speaker 1: increased safety when vaccinated, and the Biden administration has prioritized
- 21:17Speaker 1: this group. The best way to overcome fear is to
- 21:20Speaker 1: follow the science, the doctors say, and the science shows
- 21:24Speaker 1: we can safely open our schools now for full time,
- 21:27Speaker 1: non hybrid learning and keep them open now. If you
- 21:31Speaker 1: think these doctors aren't qualified, let me tell you who
- 21:34Speaker 1: they are. I once you know who these doctors are
- 21:37Speaker 1: calling out the CDC and the teachers' unions for doing
- 21:39Speaker 1: what they're doing. Doctor Tara Henderson is a Professor Pediatric
- 21:44Speaker 1: and Interim Chief of Pediatric Hematology, Oncology and stem cell
- 21:49Speaker 1: Transplantation at the University of Chicago Comer Children's Hospital. She
- 21:54Speaker 1: was a twenty eighteen Presidential Leadership Scholar. Doctor number two
- 22:01Speaker 1: to write this article. Doctor Monica Gandhi is a Professor Medicine,
- 22:05Speaker 1: Associate Division of Chief of the Division of HIV Infectious
- 22:10Speaker 1: Diseases in Global Medicine the University of California, San Francisco.
- 22:14Speaker 1: She's the director of the us UC Excuse Me, the
- 22:18Speaker 1: UC s F Center for Aid's Research. These are not
- 22:22Speaker 1: just like act average people. These are like the best.
- 22:26Speaker 1: The third doctor, Doctor Tracy Beth Hogue is a physical
- 22:31Speaker 1: medicine and rehabilitation specialist epidemiologist the University of California Davis

- 22:43Speaker 1: of COVID nineteen in the Wood County, Wisconsin Schools. Doctor
- 22:50Speaker 1: Daniel Johnson, the last doctor in this op ed is

- 22:58Speaker 1: academic patrics at the University's Chicago Comber Children's Hospital. He's

- 23:08Speaker 1: School Work Group. He also co led the Illinois chapter
- 23:14Speaker 1: of the American Academy of Pgiatrics Task Force on Return
- 23:17Speaker 1: to School. These are the best and the brightest doctors
- 23:21Speaker 1: who are saying to the CDC, how dare you take
- 23:24Speaker 1: our research and manipulate it and change what it actually says?
- 23:28Speaker 1: How dare you listen to what they say in their
- 23:32Speaker 1: own words? Their own words are very very very very clear.
- 23:38Speaker 1: The best way to overcome fears to follow the science,
- 23:40Speaker 1: and the science shows we can safely open our schools
- 23:43Speaker 1: now for full time non hybrid learning and keep them open.
- 23:49Speaker 1: The data in their article makes it very very very
- 23:51Speaker 1: clear as well. The data in this article shows that
- 23:56Speaker 1: more kids are dying from suicide than COVID. The data
- 24:02Speaker 1: also shows again their data here Okay, their research, two
- 24:08Speaker 1: hundred and eighty eight children have died from the disease
- 24:10Speaker 1: in the nine States of America out of more than
- 24:12Speaker 1: five hundred thousand adults that have died. They say, these
- 24:17Speaker 1: similars are almost these numbers are almost identical the number
- 24:21Speaker 1: of children who die every year from the flu. And
- 24:24Speaker 1: we don't shut down our schools because of the flu.
- 24:28Speaker 1: So you have to ask yourself this question, what the
- 24:30Speaker 1: hell is going on? It's one thing, folks, You've got
- 24:34Speaker 1: lazy as union teachers that don't want to go back
- 24:37Speaker 1: to work, and they know it's safe, and they don't
- 24:39Speaker 1: want to go back to work because it's easier to
- 24:41Speaker 1: sit at home and do nothing. The same teachers now
- 24:43Speaker 1: who are now coming out with their own articles in
- 24:46Speaker 1: the USA today saying standardized testing amid COVID nineteen pandemic
- 24:49Speaker 1: will do kids and teachers more harm than good. They
- 24:53Speaker 1: say testing now will produce flawed data. No it won't.
- 24:56Speaker 1: It'll tell us the truth. You'll tell us, and our
- 24:58Speaker 1: kids have not got an education. Fring you scumbags for
- 25:00Speaker 1: the last year while you've been getting paid. You don't
- 25:04Speaker 1: want the standardized testing to happen, because you know what happens.
- 25:09Speaker 1: Even the US Department of Education is quietly released guidance
- 25:12Speaker 1: that we require states to conduct standardized testing for this
- 25:15Speaker 1: school year, and these unions say no, no no, no, you
- 25:18Speaker 1: can't do this. This is gonna hurt millions of students,
- 25:21Speaker 1: This is gonna put their lives at risk. You can't
- 25:23Speaker 1: do this. And the reason why they don't want this
- 25:25Speaker 1: test given is because the tests will show just how
- 25:28Speaker 1: selfish these public school teachers and these unions actually were.
- 25:34Speaker 1: I'm going to keep following the story for you because
- 25:38Speaker 1: it's important. Also, don't forget please tell others about our
- 25:43Speaker 1: podcast It's really, really, really important that you tell others
