Teen shreds school board over mask mandates

STEM School Highlands Ranch, Colorado school board was happy to go along with the mask mandates put in place by the health bard, screaming "follow the science". Now that the health board ended the mask mandate, the school board is suing them to put it back in place, the school board doesn't want to follow the science.
Mask mandates are "science" when they are in place, but garbage when they are not.
This shows the truth about maks mandates.
We already know that masks are part of the cult.
Hell, Joy "I was hacked" Reid, Rachel "mad cow" Maddow, the Bopsy Twins, and Fatboy over at CNN and countless DNC politicians. Rachel Maddow even said, on-air (pre-recorded, actually) that because of mask mandates going away, she would have to change her mindset and stop viewing unmasked people as evil Trump supporters. Countless others have said similar.

Here's a shocker - people (in groups) abhor change (ref: Who Moved My Cheese?)
For those who insist on retaining mask mandates, I ask this simple question:
Wasn't this the purpose of wearing masks to begin with?
The goal of wearing masks (and getting vaccinated) was to defeat the spread of the virus.
Argue, if you will, that the Trumpite anti-vax, anti-mask mantras slowed down the progress in slowing the disease progression (and cost many tens - if not hundreds - of thousands of lives as a result), but the GOAL of all the anti-COVID protocols was to "get us back to normal" -- NO?
That's not to say that COVID is beaten... but like politics, all COVID should be local. (Trump's national shutdown was a mistake - only about 1/3 of the geography and 1/2 the population was in the throes of a serious COVID outbreak - for the other 2/3 of the geography and 1/2 of the population, it was an expensive boondoggle, and contributed to the anti-[other measures] efforts as well.)
I believe the "magic number" is supposed to be 3%? (That's 3% positivity in those being tested for COVID-19)
I presume the CO Health Board says they've reached that for the requisite length of time... in which case, the mandates can be lifted...
That doesn't stop people still concerned about getting the virus from continuing to wear masks... it's their choice, their freedom (maybe not a bad idea for Flu season!)
In any case, populations of people don't like change - and here we're still getting adjusted to the "change" to needing to wear masks and the scientists tell us we can change again (and, of course, the politicians - elected and otherwise - insist we MUST change).
Don't worry - Science won, but both political parties will claim that they are responsible:
- DEMS will claim that their mask mandates and forces vaccinations are the reason...
- Republicans (because of Trumpites) will publicly claim it was all a DEM hoax
The SCIENCE is: it was always going to burn itself out - that wasn't the issue. The ISSUE was whether it "burned through" 1-million human lives, 5-million lives (where we are now), 20-million lives - or even more!
Sadly, if this were a test, we failed. We will likely eventually reach 6-7 million lives lost (while the virus is "under control" in many areas of the US, that is not the case in other areas of the country, much less the globe!)
We ARE NOT OUT OF THIS YET - but there are some bright spots, and while we shouldn't all jump out of our masks and ditch the booster shots just yet, we can look with some joy at the fact that the "return to normal" is beginning...

Science doesn't matter to the Covid cultists.
Science mandated 1 mask, then 50, then 23, then 68, then 2 and now none.
The cultists love all but one of those mask mandates.
They scream that the "science" can go fuck itself when it says no masks are needed.
It's not about the science and never has been.
You once asked me if I knew more than actual scientists because I was able to read the official definition on the NIH website and compare that to the funding grant for Eco Health's Wuhan GOFR (turns out, I was right all along, thanks to NIH finally coming clean), but now you are saying school board twats know more than the county health board.

You are demonstrating, yet again, that you cannot read worth a shit!
My post said it was a local decision - and that the local SCIENTISTS said that, locally, they had reached the levels of COVID-19 sufficient to remove the mask mandate... and so it should be!
You don't "trust the science" and then "don't trust the science" just because it means you have to change!
Science changes!
It changed when we learned that COVID-19 wasn't spread by contact, but rather by aerosol (which is where the masks came in), and it's going to change as we begin to see it "burn out".
But the decisions still need to be made locally! If my county has a really low COVID-19 rate, but Miami-Dade still has a really high one, then we should be able to reduce our COVID-19 response level, while Miami-Dade should have to keep theirs at a higher level! (And if the data says the opposite, then so be it!)
COVID responses can be coordinated, and data corroborated - and analysed - nationally, but the responses need to be managed locally - and that was a HUGE Trump mistake (locking down the whole country, even though large areas had virtually NO COVID in them at the time!)...
We're still learning here... but, as I said in my post above... there is a little light at the end of the tunnel... we've a long way to go yet, but let's celebrate the wins we can get - including the areas where COVID is under control - and work that much harder on the places where COVID is still being a bitch!
But people -in general- do not like change - any change! So just as we're settling into "wear masks", people are going to bitch that the direction now is "not so much"... the same as the Trumpites who screamed bloody murder when the mask mandates came out!
I'm still clueless about one thing: just how was "wearing a mask" supposed to be controlling you? In any way beyond the "no shirt, no shoes, no service" rules?

You can't read.
I was saying that the school board trusts the science when it goes their way and doesn't trust the science when it goes against them.
"No Shirt,....." rules are by business choice or by health code for food safety.

And I agreed with that - completely.

"No Shirt...." rules are for public health... the same as mask rules during a pandemic where the pathogen is aerosol spread
