You can reframe the discussion all that you'd like. That won't change the fact that the comment I replied to trotted out the usual tropes of faulting unions. My wife is a recently retired teacher and, at 65, would probably had not made it beyond the pandemic if forced back into her quite small schoolroom.

The original commenter said that the institutions that were supposed to help kids ended up hurting them. Well, if schools had been forced to remain open, there would have been a lot more dead kids/teachers/parents.

If, at age 60, she would "probably" not have survived a COVID infection (likely with a high initial viral load in a classroom like that), then the school system should have devised a way to support her (maybe with early retirement) as a high risk individual. Did she get through the entire pandemic without catching COVID? Do you sincerely believe that most teachers were at risk of death or serious complications and so a national shut down was required for that reason? Because we both know that the children were not directly at risk.

The most reasonable answer to why the schools were shut is that schools are petri dishes that incubate and grow infections, and the kids are then vectors that spread it through the wider population. If the only reason to shut the schools was because the adults working there were at greater risk when they were open, there were other ways to manage that.

Schools Forced to Remain Open?

That is Bizarre being that mothers, fathers, parents, guardians have zero control over government compulsory schooling.

Now if you view STRANGERS that TELL A VISION of dead kids, teachers, mothers, fathers you need to get a life, same as if you listen to a Doctor of the Rockefeller Medicine Allopathic Business Model of Medicine.

People die, get sick and take ill because they choose knowingly or unknowingly do the things that POLLUTE their bloodSTREAM be it by pharmacological, chemical, modified foods or any other pollutant, toxin...etc...etc.... that slowly sickens the body and when your bodies trashcan fills up you take ill, once better the stupid people start all over...... polluting their bloodSTREAM and getting sick, ill, diseased again until they die sooner than they should have.

Sars-cov2 is In Silico (A Computer Program)

It has never been shown to exist, has never been isolate, purified and shown to the world but it is on a computer program and Mark Saleski says there would have been a lot more dead kids/teachers/parents due to the in silico Sars-cov2 computer program virus......Lol!
