'Dehumanizing': Experts rip California pilot program testing COVID-sniffing dogs on schoolchildren

The California Department of Public Health (CDPH) wants to bring airport screening procedures to public schools in the Golden State — not to search for weapons, narcotics or explosion-prone batteries, but for an endemic virus that poses little risk to children.

Researchers affiliated with the department and Kaiser Permanente shared the results of their dog-sniffing pilot program to detect COVID-19 in 27 unnamed "volunteer schools" in the Journal of the American Medical Association Pediatrics Monday.

The screenings may raise civil liberties and medical privacy concerns, according to California doctors who reviewed the research and questioned the tangible benefit of COVID screenings in 2023 versus the risks of routine, compelled interactions with canines.

The paper also illustrates the growing divergence between the U.S. and the rest of the world on managing COVID infections.

The U.K. National Health Service Thursday shuttered its COVID track-and-trace app, with 31 million downloads and nearly 2 million resulting self-isolations, "after months of declining use," the Evening Standard reported. The government credited high immunity and vaccinations and better access to treatments.

Brown University's Pandemic Center and Center for Mobility Analysis for Pandemic Prevention Strategies, by contrast, is hosting a seminar Friday on "digital contact tracing systems to better prepare ourselves for the next pandemic."

They should train dogs to detect which children have gender dysphoria, so they can get the children into surgery stat.

Yes, that would be the logical next step!

ANOTHER REASON TO HOMESCHOOL

This ping list is for the other articles of interest to homeschoolers about education and public school. This can occasionally be a fairly high volume list. Articles pinged to the Another Reason to Homeschool List will be given the keyword of ARTH. (If I remember. If I forget, please feel free to add it yourself)

The main Homeschool Ping List handles the homeschool-specific articles. I hold both the Homeschool Ping List and the Another Reason to Homeschool Ping list. Please freepmail me to let me know if you would like to be added to or removed from either list, or both.

. . . Researchers affiliated with the department and Kaiser Permanente. . .

All you need to know - ca-ching!

I have a better idea: I want to explore the possibility of training dogs to sniff out grift, graft, thievery, pedophilia, rape, sexual assault, extortion and all forms of criminal, immoral and/or self-enriching activity among politicians, "elites" and members of the bureaucrat class. But I think this would be problematic because once stationed to sniff out those things the dogs would be going absolutely batsh*t crazy 99.9% of the time.

Might work, except the sniffing dog also loves PBJ sandwiches.

How about insanity-sniffing dogs? They would be busy all the time in California.

The idea is less about finding Covid-19 and more about getting people to accept being searched like prisoners.

Come on people. Children love dogs. It’s not like Joe Biden is the one testing them. If dogs are effective the kids will like them enough to not not feel violated.

Exactly, the young people of today will be brain washed captives. It’s all very sad.

What’s the dog do if the kid craps his pants at the closeness of a dog.
