On March 10, 2020, before any government prompting, Harvard declared that it would “suspend in-person classes and shift to online learning.” Across the country, universities, schools, and state governments followed Harvard’s lead.

Schools closed in many other countries, too, but under heavy international criticism, Sweden kept its schools and daycares open for its 1.8 million children, ages one to 15. Why? While anyone can get infected, we have known since early 2020 that more than a thousandfold difference in Covid mortality risk holds between the young and the old. ...
What were the results during the spring of 2020? With schools open, Sweden had zero Covid deaths in the one-to-15 age group, while teachers had the same mortality as the average of other professions. Based on those facts, summarized in a July 7, 2020, report by the Swedish Public Health Agency, all U.S. schools should have quickly reopened. Not doing so led to “startling evidence on learning loss” in the United States, especially among lower- and middle-class children, an effect not seen in Sweden.
Sweden was the only major Western country that rejected school closures and other lockdowns in favor of concentrating on the elderly, and the final verdict is now in. Led by an intelligent social democrat prime minister (a welder), Sweden had the lowest excess mortality among major European countries during the pandemic, and less than half that of the United States. Sweden’s Covid deaths were below average, and it avoided collateral mortality caused by lockdowns.
Yet on July 29, 2020, the Harvard-edited New England Journal of Medicine published an article by two Harvard professors on whether primary schools should reopen, without even mentioning Sweden. It was like ignoring the placebo control group when evaluating a new pharmaceutical drug. That’s not the path to truth.

Harvard is just totally lost. I wouldn’t hire an Ivy League undergrad on a bet.
Speaking of truth trampling, oh, my, Karoline:
“Other White House officials have gone further, with press secretary Karoline Leavitt telling reporters Monday, “This bill does not add to the deficit ... this bill will save $1.6 trillion.””
“this bill will save $1.6 trillion”
How?

Compared to if they spent even more, I guess.
......Across the country, universities, schools, and state governments “followed Harvard’s lead”......
Most of these schools needed no “lead” from Harvard or anyone else to decide to close! Churches closed too! And there were all sorts of heretical screeds about catching COVD from Holy Communion!
The short, comprehensive & common sense-spot-on commentary at the link below should do it!
HINT: For decades, the GLOBALIST run corporations have been setting us up for THE NEW WORLD ORDER! They hate Trump because he's on to them!

My wife was a diabetic who was considered a vulnerable person to COVID was twice diagnosed with it after she went to the hospital for diabetic issues.
She showed no signs of COVID and only left the house once a week to go to the doctor and shop and I had to drive her. How was she catching COVID and why did she show no symptoms?
Also, the only way she could have caught it was from me and I never had it and I was literally with her all the time at home. So even if she could have somehow caught it somewhere else, why did I not catch it ever?
Enquiring monds want to know...
