quote:

Despite an accelerating vaccine rollout, Dr. Michael Osterholm, a member of President Joe Biden’s coronavirus advisory board, said on Sunday that the U.S. will face "major challenges" in battling the pandemic before summertime, warning the U.K. coronavirus strain infects children more easily than previous strains—something experts are still debating. On NBC's Meet the Press, Osterholm, director of the Center for Infectious Disease Research and Policy at the University of Minnesota, called the B.1.1.7 variant a "brand-new ballgame" because of how quickly it has spread among children, citing roughly 750 Minnesota schools that have reported the variant in just the last two weeks. Osterholm also suggested the U.S. may need to consider new lockdowns before school lets out this summer, saying vaccination alone won't curb rising cases in the next six to eight weeks and telling Fox News Sunday that "there isn't a country in the world right now that has seen a big increase in this [variant] that is not locking down."


Fresh new scare tactics coming. Think about our kids!

He did. And he also was against lockdowns before changing his mind.

I don’t think people fully grasp the fact that totalitarian dictators on the left will NEVER give up the power their pandemic gave them. They’ll continue to move the goalpost and say “if you do X you might get your life back” but as we’ve seen since the beginning, as soon as the standards are met they’re just replaced with more restrictive hurdles to jump through. They’re never going to give up this power and as soon as the people begin to wake up and push back Fauci’s next big virus will be released and we’ll be right back where we started. There’s only one way to get rid of fascism.

Great, we’ve got a Covid vaccine that has been proven to be 100% effective for teenagers, but still got to scare the kids so evil count teachers can sit on their asses while their students on mass go insane, lose valuable years of their youth and knowledge, and kill themselves.

If they smear China the Chinese government will just spill the beans on the Dems complicity in the creation and release of the virus.

These people are being given a voice by the MSM and will continue to push fear until everyone is submissive to the government. Sadly the left will cheer them on.

I understand this fully and many others do as well. Many Republican Governors have had enough.
But a new report like this will simply fuel the teachers unions to stay shut down.
