Great article by @TracyBethHoeg detailing misinformation spread by @JAMAnetwork. Dr. Hoeg is a scientific evidence connoisseur. Hard to refute any of the 10 facts she lays out here. open.substack.com/pub/tracyb…

As a mom, this is hard to read. As a doctor, this is a must-read: “…our trust in doctors should have limits. Medicine is like any other job…some doctors are ‘heroes’, but we should stop thinking of them all as such.” ⁦@meropemills⁩ RIP Martha 🙏 theguardian.com/lifeandstyle…

In an empty stadium tonight long after everyone left @ErieTigersFB’s @HarnerCaleb came back out to help our custodial crew pick up trash. Not because he had to but because he wanted to. Leadership comes in many forms. Thank you Caleb. Well done @ErieHighSchool @TigersPrincipal

One day, historians will look back on the pandemic & find what we did to kids in the name of Health was harmful, unethical & as Scandinavia showed us, unnecessary In many ways, it is still happening It's up to us to do better My piece in @Sensible__Med👇 sensiblemed.substack.com/p/s…

Many of us saw this in our own communities anecdotally so are not surprised that our public health response that knowingly crushed our children for the sake of adults led to this. I bet many adult suicides misclassified as drug OD
Many minimized the effects of the pandemic on youth's mental health when unnecessary restrictions were imposed on low-risk groups for COVID-19. Now we have suicide data by age group. And: "The proportion of overall suicides among adolescents increased during the pandemic"

Another smart piece on COVID decisions that hurt kids👇🏻 “…we’ve inflicted ‘more harm to children in exchange for less harm to adults.’ You don’t have to be a psychologist to see something wrong with that exchange.” #wewererightallalong #howarethechildren theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv…

"Comprehensive strategies that improve connections with others at home, in the community, and at school might foster improved mental health among youths" Now's the time to admit you were wrong about placing the entire pandemic burden on kids @CDCDirector washingtonpost.com/education…

"This is a moment to start removing the restrictions that have been placed on kids. Because the risk to their mental health, learning loss, those types of things are now far greater than the virus itself."-- David Rubin, Policy director at CHOP nbcphiladelphia.com/news/cor…

Hmmmmm..... wonder if she'd like to try and defend this now. She could not have been more wrong.
In case no one has told you, the odds your kids will be at school in person in 2-3 wks in the US approach zero in most areas, no matter what your BOE or Governor decide about opening. There won’t be enough people well to run buses, lunches, clean, or teach. Plan now as a family.
