@raphjd said in 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...
