We've known this all along, but now (a few of) the state propaganda organs are admitting it.

giving new meaning to “suffer the children”

NPR (!): Children’s risk of serious illness from the China Flu is as low as it is from the flu.

For children in particular, the risk of serious consequences from COVID-19 is the same magnitude as the risk they face from the flu, she says. But many parents seem more worried about the new and less familiar disease. That anxiety is heightened by the new guidelines on mask-wearing. But experts urge parents to try not to worry too much. "If you stop going into stores because you're terrified you'll run into an unmasked person, that's probably overreacting," says Gretchen Chapman, a psychology professor who studies health conundrums like this at Carnegie Mellon University. It's understandable why parents would feel that way, she says. Though these risks are very low, they're not zero. And people struggle to conceptualize the difference between small risks — for example, something that's 1 in 1,000 versus 1 in 1 million. "It doesn't seem that different to the person," Chapman says.

The CDC, Dr. Befuddled, and the NEA refuse to acknowledge or follow the science, but that’s no surprise. Those three, as well as the pubic health system itself, have destroyed any shred of credibility that might once have enjoyed — remember when a majority of people thought teachers had the best interests of their students at heart? Or wanted to educate, not indoctrinate them? Only the media and the Democrats are trusted less.

Circling Back: Governor Abbot’s decision to end mask requirements for school children is, according to teachers’ unions, “reckless and dangerous”. Dr. Nancy Vera, president of the Corpus Christi American Federation of Teachers, says the government “is going to cause a lot of suffering and illness. I think that is a travesty.”

Randi Weingarten was so upset that she had to invent a fake conclusion by the CDC* to attack the governor.

*NPR offers the real study’s findings: Masks on school children are not a significant factor in COVID spread.

But will dose ol' white debbils be admitted?

Florida University launches degree program to train “social justice activists”

UCF’s website provides a description:

Students will obtain a theoretical background in social justice, exploring topics such as human rights, income distribution and the role of markets. 

What determines whether someone succeeds in America? The program has answers:

Students will understand factors that contribute to inequity among various groups, with a focus on providing a theoretical background and methods to analyze social justice issues in public service. They will understand principles of social justice as they apply to government and nonprofit sector in education, health, transportation, and housing policy domains among others.

The Social Justice in Public Service graduate certificate seeks to develop leaders who can influence policy to create social justice.

So far, so expected, but consider the “careers” the degree creators consider the students will be prepared for: every single “opportunity” is for positions that forcibly extract money from productive citizens and pass it to the parasite class. Not a single job in the oppressive world of capitalism.

That’s not surprising, given the new definition of “white supremacy” as a system that rewards hard work, individualism, timeliness, and attention to getting the right answer. Only government jobs allow individuals to avoid those chains and flower as fully-realized individuals.

Suggested “careers”

For the past year I've been advocating that white, cisgender students and admittees at elite colleges give up their seats to blacks and queers; now that idea is expanding

Business insider adapts to its readership’s minuscule attention span and starts condensing its stories — something for everyone!

I haven’t read Business Insider in at least a decade, abandoning it after it replaced the last of its adult reporters with ijiot interns (the last straw may have been when one of the children, supposedly working the Wall Street beat, expressed her wonderment and surprise at learning that there was such a thing as a “tombstone ad). Nonetheless, their latest effort at reporting may have set a new low. Of course, the day is young.

Defund Chicago

It’s having a banner month for gunners, with the upcoming summer promising more

So far this month thirteen people have died of their perforations and another 42 were wounded and taken out of battle.

FACT-O-RAMA! As of May 25, a Chicagoan is shot and wounded every 2 hours, 32 minutes, and one is shot to death every 13 hours, 37 minutes.

Thus far this year 81.6% of the shooting victims have been black, 14.1% were Hispanic, and 4.4% are listed as “white or other.” Most shootings won’t result in an arrest. Eleven of the shootings this month took place in western Chicago’s Garfield Park neighborhood, which now challenges southside Englewood as the section of Chi-town most likely to get you penetrated. Forty-four of the victims were men and 11, or 20%, of the people getting new piercings, were women, which is roughly twice as many lady-victims as we see in winter months. The yearly men-women shot ratio for 2021 is currently 6.07.

There have been 10 mass shootings thus far in 2021. None of the shootings in May were self-inflicted. Five people this month have been shot in the keister and one was shot in the private parts, (OUCH).

Chicago banned the sale and registration of handguns in 1982.

Natural immunity shows up, disappointing Dr. Two Mask and his fellow "experts"

Health care workers were 3X more likely to get COVID than the general population (14.5% vs 5%), but rarely get reinfected.

Why “disappointed”? Because Fauci, addressing the concept of herd immunity, said “quite frankly, that is absolute nonsense”.

In the months following their blood tests, 39 workers developed asymptomatic COVID-19 infection, but only one of these was a worker who had previously tested positive. This equates to an 85% reduction in risk, which is similar to the protection provided by COVID-19 vaccines.

Professor Chalmers said: "A lot of attention during the pandemic has been around PPE for doctors and nurses but we found that dentists, healthcare assistants and porters were the staff most likely to test positive. [So does that say something about the efficacy of face masks? - ED]

"We continued to monitor staff for up to seven months and found that having a positive antibody test gave 85% protection against a future infection. This is really good news for people who have already had COVID-19, as it means the chances of a second infection are very low."

The team hopes to continue the research to see how long immunity lasts and how vaccination affects infections among healthcare workers.

Oh, Canada — poor Canada

crusin’ for a brusin’

It is against the law to shake hands in the Land of Ice, and the cops are actually enforcing it.

They’ve never protected freedom of speech, and they’ve been clamping down on their citizens with increasing fervor the past few years — especially on the playing fields of wokeism — but shaking hands?

This is not a drill... They are giving out tickets for shaking hands in Ontario.

For SHAKING HANDS.

"That is SO yesterday!”

Dr. Befuddled changes his mind again, and he’s back to the batwing soup theory of Kung Flu’s origin. And why not? His “not-confident it didn’t escape from a lab” position dates all the way back to Sunday.

“No, no, the laboratory claim is no longer operative”, Fauci told FWIW”, it’s the bats, today, and so accordingly, I’m now advising Americans to stop making bat wing soup. That was probably a bad idea in the first place,” he said.

We’re still waiting for today’s advice on masks: two, one, or none at all? Stay tuned.
