I said nothing about not getting vaccinated, or boosted, or any of that right wing garbage. Good try though.
Continued lock downs and mask wearing, when they are not absolutely necessary, have consequences, mostly unintended.
For example, children's speech and language has shown to be delayed because they can't see people's mouths moving. Other studies have shown severe impact on learning, especially in the younger ages due to a variety of covid related restrictions and rules.
Just this week, another study came out suggesting that the spike in hepatitis and other diseases among children is a result of lockdowns, social distancing and mask wearing because children were not getting exposed to normal amounts of the germs that build natural immunities.
Public policy matters and has unintended consequences. Always.
It is just not as simple as you want to make it out to be.
And I really wish you would stop with the personal attacks and fear mongering.
