The list of 17 action items for Gov. Newsom:
1. Stop forcing vaccine mandates, especially boosters for children.
2. Admit that vaccinating children doesn’t necessarily help children.
3. Start giving people a reward (loosening restrictions) for going along with the vaccine regime.
4. Acknowledge that children are at less risk than adults and that the messaging has been really bad.
5. Admit that the restrictions are worse for children than the illness.
6. Acknowledge that social isolation is devastating young people.
7. Admit that not seeing the faces of teachers and peers is killing education.
8. Stop forcing kids to wear masks outdoors.
9. Make indoor masks for kids optional as of February 2022.
10. Acknowledge that babies and toddlers aren’t learning to speak because of masks.
11. Allow preschool and daycare teachers and other adults to stop wearing masks if they want.
12. Stop mindlessly testing asymptomatic individuals.
13. Stop the madness on college campuses given young people’s low risks.
14. Stop obsessing about case rates.
15. Acknowledge that Omicron is relatively mild.
16. Acknowledge that “true COVID-19 hospitalizations” remain low, so the panic must end.
17. Do a cost-benefit analysis of all the COVID restrictions.
Every one of those is a sensible suggestion and one that conservatives have been making for months, if not years.
Action item 3. : “Start giving people a reward (loosening restrictions) for going along with the vaccine regime.” is actually counter and opposite to the goals.
IOW not going along = no loosening = punishment.
