We’ve Wiped Out Two Years of Growth and Learning for Our Children

I’ve been adamant and persistent in my criticism of public health policy during the recent pandemic. From the start in 2020, I said that masks don’t work to stop the spread of the virus, that lockdowns don’t work, and that the mRNA vaccines were not real vaccines but were experimental gene therapy treatments that don’t stop one from getting COVID and don’t stop the spread.

I was right on all of these points, as emerging evidence shows (although the evidence was already there in 2020 from past pandemics). I also said that the best therapy was fresh air, sunshine, and exercise, along with perhaps some supplements of Vitamin C, Vitamin D, zinc, and anti-oxidants. Again, the evidence bears this out.

Above all, I said that schools should not be closed. Children almost never get COVID, and in the rare instances they do, it’s a very mild case. Closing schools accomplished nothing since children were much more exposed to the virus when under lockdown in homes, which acted as incubators for the disease.

Forcing children to wear masks when they were in school was even more deleterious because mask-wearing forces you to breathe recirculated CO₂ being exhaled. This causes headaches and lethargy in the children, which hurts their learning ability.

Lost social skills are another damaging byproduct of mask-wearing in children. It’s as if the entire public health establishment were in a conspiracy to damage children for years to come.

With the passage of time comes powerful evidence that the impact of masks and lockdowns on children was even worse than feared. This article explains that the damage was enormous and will play out over decades.

Over 13.8 million years of life will be lost among the entire population. Educational advancement was set back by years. The lifetime earnings of the students victimized by public health policies will decline by 3.0%.

Long-term lost wealth will be over $14 trillion. Cases of depression, anxiety, suicide, and lost emotional well-being are skyrocketing.

All of this was done to appease the teacher’s unions and left-wing politicians. It had nothing to do with children or public health. This entire episode will be remembered as a national catastrophe and a disgrace to those who orchestrated it, including Anthony Fauci, Deborah Birx, and above all, Joe Biden.
