Listened to this esteemed pediatric doctor regarding Covid. Basically:
- Delta Covid is super duper scary. No regular Covid was super duper scary. Delta Covid is triple dog scary. Your kids should be shaking.
- Masks work and should be required in schools. Except you should still expect them to get sick because they don't work all that great.
- You are evil if you don't think masks should be required in schools. Pay no attention to what I just said above.
- Even though it is extremely unlikely your kid will die, SOME kid will die so all kids should be afraid.
- Even though some kid will die, no kids should stay at home. This is so triple dog scary but it is important kids should be in school rather than home schooled or even learning virtually.
I am not kidding. This was real. I will even share the link to Yewtube if you want me to.
It really is they believe they are going to die. There's been polls that show people's perception of the danger to be off by more than ten-fold from even the official government death rates. Go look where leftists gather online for discussion on mask mandates, and you will see questions like "why did I even get the vaccine if I still need a mask?" Almost always answered with at least one comment like "so you won't die when you catch it.".
I like when I tell people I didn't get the vaccine and they bug out saying that I'm actively killing people by being outside.
