Schools closures did not change Covid transmission rates

Schools closures did not change Covid transmission, but they did manage to screw a generation of children and set back their learning, all in the name of The Science.

Lack of correlation between school reopening and trends in adult COVID-19 hospitalisations and death rates during the Delta and early Omicron periods: An ecological analysis of five countries

Highlights

• •School closures were used during the COVID-19 pandemic to limit the transmission of infection.
• •School reopening did not alter existing trajectories of COVID-19 hospitalisations and deaths during Delta and early Omicron.
• •No consistent patterns in cases, hospitalisations or deaths despite school reopenings or changes to public health measures.
• •Understanding the role of schools in transmission is critical for pandemic planning and response.
• •Pre-approved pandemic research protocols are needed along with the documentation of the harms of school closures.

Analysis by legal expert Johnathan Turley
"In comparing these different countries, the scientists found no significant differences in reported cases: /No consistent patterns in cases, hospitalizations or deaths despite school re-openings or changes to public health measures,' The suppression of the lab theory and the targeting of dissenting scientists show the true cost of censorship and viewpoint intolerance."

What the school closures really did, was to reinforce the belief that there was a deadly invisible entity out there, just waiting to pounce on the unprepared and vulnerable.

 

Keeping the 'virus' theory going, is central to Big Pharma, and the tens of thousands of white-coats, earning a handsome living on the back of nonsense.

I remember getting into heated 'discussions' with people on this Forum during lockdown about how ridiculous it was to close schools and the damage it would cause.  Nice to be vindicated!

The nerd acting as health minister in Germany ordered school closures against expert advice.

Only one of his high-handed lockdowns against expert advice.

And he is still in office.

Resistance against critical review is strong.

I can recall.

 

You are still on the platform however. Unlike others who were kicked off.
