The research should end what’s left of the pathetic rear-guard effort to defend school closures – or any mitigation measures like making kids wear masks
Children almost never passed Covid infections in school, a study published Friday reveals.
In fall 2021, in four Massachusetts school districts with 18,000 children, researchers found 44 potential cases of in-school transmission.
You read that right.
18,000 students. 34 schools. Four months. And 44 Covid infections – including no infections of teachers or other staff members.
Throughout 2020 and 2021, as parents pressed with increasing urgency to reopen classrooms, teachers unions and Democratic politicians warned in-school Covid transmission would lead to waves of death. “Teachers are so worried about returning to school that they’re preparing wills,” CNN infamously wrote on July 16, 2020.
In reality, schools were among the safest possible places for students and teachers during Covid, this study suggests.
The study, which ran in the peer-reviewed journal JAMA Health Forum, is both nearly useless and vital.
It’s nearly useless in advancing our actual knowledge about Covid- because serious researchers have known since 2020 that children spread Covid much less frequently than adults and that schools and camps were likely to be major sources of new Covid cases.
As early as April 11, 2020, French researchers published a paper showing that an infected nine-year-old child had not transmitted the disease “despite close interactions within schools.” By August 2020, researchers in Spain and Sweden had confirmed that finding on a much larger scale.
The reason is obvious too, since it is the same reason kids get much less sick than adults. They have lower viral loads and clear the infection more quickly. For many healthy children, Covid is barely even a cold.

Yet the new paper is also vital.
Why? Because it covers American schools and was published in an American journal. And the American Covid-political-medical complex has had the habit for three-plus years of simply ignoring any research from outside the United States, especially if it includes inconvenient data and facts.
And so having concrete American evidence that schools were not in any way meaningful vectors for Covid transmission can only help to make sure the colossal mistake of mass school closures never happens again.
Too bad it comes far too late to matter to the kids in blue states who in some cases were denied over a year of in-person education.
It is my sincere desire to provide readers of this site with the best unbiased information available, and a forum where it can be discussed openly, as our Founders intended.

The cabal knows children are a pressure point to apply fear. But it backfired now that Mama Bear knows what crap they want to teach under the radar.
“Almost” none.
There is nofa king covid.
” . . . four Massachusetts school districts with 18,000 children, researchers found 44 potential cases of in-school transmission.”
. . . via false PCR “test”?
The narrative is implying that there’s definitely a bug, but barely, but just be safe: take the vax. The vax prevented transmission in the other zillion kids. That’s the lie. Anything to vax us into disability and death – ESPECIALLY the children.
Nuremberg 2.0, NOW. Burn Bourla at the stake.
Yes. They are still using the fake PCR tests, and what’s even sadder is there are loads of people who think they are valid.
Billboards promoting the tests & covid testing facilities in strip malls have continued unabated.
One of the creepier cohorts of covidians during the festivities was the teachers.
While I tried to give them the benefit of the doubt based on the fact that kids in crowded classrooms are little petri dishes. (My wife works in early childhood and early in her career she was sick constantly. Now she is as robust as a pack mule. I know, I’m a romantic.)
I ran into more than a few of these teachers during the dark days of We Are All In This Together and they were totally sprung. Beside themselves with fear. Then anger. Their soylent male companions often hoisting their panties in solidaarity.
Openly hostile toward anyone suggesting they should return to work. Hostile toward the parents who began to notice what kids of garbage and abuses were being perpetrated on their kids over the Zooming.
Then the anger over having to work without clean room level mitigation. Work with any kids with so much as a runny nose. Work with kids without those kids being masked-up, in silence, and spread apart like convicts on their one hour of state mandated yard time.
Constant “testing”. Then the “vaxx” thing.
Their anger and fear were projected onto the kids. On top of everything else those kids had to endure.
These footnotes that document what so many of us knew at the time are stacking up. But they fail to fully account for the legacy of decay, the long march that has paved the way for the wickedness of “we own your children”.
The circling of the gynocracy wagons around the lie of “think of the children!” is part and parcel of the inversion that goes deep into every marriage, every kitchen table, backed by the full force of the various threatpoints of the States monopoly on violence.
Perhaps these footnotes will help right things. But something seeded so deeply does not cede to mere facts and documentation. Obviously. It will not go easily. It must go from the bottom up. A page from their book perhaps: this is personal.
Again with the cases.
It was and is all abut the infection fatality rate – the IFR.
The rate of death is statistical-error-small for the schools-age children cohorts.
From the CDC itself (not kidding)

Here it is the bottom line: 63 deaths from CoVid out of a population of 20,000,000. For the cohort 5-9 years of age. Do the maff.

Lying demon mutherfuckers did everything in their power to mask up and inject the children with the clot-shoteven though they were NOT-AT-RISK for anything from the Pestilence.
The NEA and the teachers union with that damned witch Randi Weingarten needs to be defunded and destroyed.
And, heartbreaking as it is to even ask, how many of those 63 kids were in a children’s hospital with something like leukemia?
Still, they slapped a Covid positive label on ‘em with a bogus PCR test and claimed the kids died “of Covid” because they needed some numbers to drive the fear that enabled the controls.
And so having concrete American evidence that schools were not in any way meaningful vectors for Covid transmission can only help to make sure the colossal mistake of mass school closures never happens again.
Mistake?? Huh? It was the silver lining in the whole debacle. Homeschooling numbers have increased significantly….creating business opportunities for others. Win/win.
I vote close them all down again! Eris, where are you???
We can ignore the realities of covidovid but we cannot ignore the consequences of ignoring the realities of covid. That would be millions of excess deaths worldwide in the next few years.
The thing that doesn’t get emphasized enough when talking about excess deaths is this: if a country had an event, like a war or an actual pandemic, after the end of that event you’d expect a drop in deaths below normal for a couple of years.
Not only should there not be massive excess deaths in the healthiest age groups, there should be negative “excess” deaths.
