BAN GRAVITY

Just redefine gravity. That’s much easier to do.

3500 to 5000 children... hmmm...

And literally just a few children with significant comorbidities + CV-19 have died -

We need to ban all unvaccinated and unmasked assault windows. /s

Put bars on the windows of your pod for gosh sakes. And keep eating your bugs.

My aunt’s cat fell out a window and broke his toe

At least all the assault windows...

NO one needs more than two windows ever!

Right. One for each kid.

If there's more, they can line up.

Ban trees too. I fell out of a tree in 63 and was brought in DOA.

Most of them don’t require hospitalization

An estimated 98 415 children were treated in US hospital EDs for window fall–related injuries during the 19-year study period (average: 5180 patients per year). The mean age of children was 5.1 years, and boys accounted for 58.1% of cases. One-fourth (25.4%) of the patients required admission to the hospital. The annual injury rate decreased significantly during the study period because of a decrease in the annual injury rate among 0- to 4-year-old children. Children 0 to 4 years of age were more likely to sustain head injuries and to be hospitalized or to die compared with children 5 to 17 years of age.

Either that, or just ban children.

It’s time for common-sense window control.

Why not just TAX WINDOWS! It has been done before.

People will then block up the windows to keep from paying the tax.
