On Friday’s broadcast of HBO’s “Real Time,” host Bill Maher said that President Joe Biden’s polling on his handling of the coronavirus pandemic has gone south, and it’s time for the United States to “announce we’re going back to something more like normal,” the same way other countries have. ”
Maher continued saying that the return to normal should begin with “recognizing that what we’re doing to kids is unnecessary and horrible,” and that forcing children to wear masks, despite their low risk from coronavirus is robbing them of their “education, their sanity, and their social skills.”
During his closing monologue on the inaccurate statements of the medical establishment on the virus, Maher stated, “President Biden’s handling of the pandemic started off polling pretty well, but now a majority disapprove. It’s time to do what a growing list of countries have done and announce we’re going back to something more like normal, beginning with recognizing that what we’re doing to kids is unnecessary and horrible, and I don’t even like kids. But making kids, who have a COVID survivability rate of 99.98%, mask up like bandits? Unfortunately, the thing that’s getting stolen is their education, their sanity, and their social skills.”
Watch
Doctors and scientists joined the argument against the forced mandate on children. During an op-ed on USAToday they did not mince their words:
“As scientists and physicians, we are concerned that COVID-19 mitigation measures for children are doing more harm than good. Too many policymakers have viewed health as the mere absence of COVID-19, putting children into a loop of mitigation measures that are uncoupled from actual risk.”
In addition to the outspoken professionals, the CDC also released a study showing that natural immunity is more effective against the new variants. This makes me question the continued forced mask mandates in schools. Especially since children have not been shown to have severe infections.
