'SCIENTIFIC AND PUBLIC HEALTH FAILURE--FAUCI ADMITS COVID SHOTS DIDN'T HAVE A CHANCE OF CONTROLLING THE PANDEMIC

‘Scientific And Public Health Failure’: Fauci Admits COVID Shots Didn’t Have A Chance Of Controlling The Pandemic---Story by Dylan Housman • Yesterday 2:10 PM

Dr. Anthony Fauci admitted in a recently published research paper that COVID-19 vaccines could not have been reasonably expected to get the pandemic under control.

Fauci and other top government and healthcare officials repeatedly stressed during the pandemic that getting vaccinated would stop the spread of COVID-19 and was the most important step individuals could take to end the pandemic. However, in the paper published Jan. 11 in Cell Press, Fauci and two co-authors write that respiratory viruses like SARS-CoV-2 and the flu have never been well-contained by vaccines.  More at ‘Scientific And Public Health Failure’: Fauci Admits COVID Shots Didn’t Have A Chance Of Controlling The Pandemic (msn.com)

EDUCATION ISSUES: HOW BLACK LIVES MATTER IS INDOCTRINATING YOUR KIDS ---AND WHAT YOU CAN DO ABOUT IT

How Black Lives Matter is indoctrinating your kids — and what you can do about it By Ricki Hollander
February 7, 2023 10:38pm

The Black Lives Matter movement has given rise to a Black Lives Matter at School coalition whose activists seek to alter public-school curricula under the guise of promoting "racial justice in education."Corbis via Getty Images

In their 1848 Communist Manifesto, Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels famously stated communists seek to “rescue education from the influence of the ruling class” by changing the type of social intervention that informs instruction — later to be known as “re-education.”

Likewise, the revolutionary Black Lives Matter movement, co-founded by self-described radical organizers and trained Marxists, has given rise to a Black Lives Matter at School coalition whose activists seek to alter public-school curricula under the guise of promoting “racial justice in education.”

This week’s national BLMAS “Week of Action” aims to recruit educators, students, families and community members to join the mission of re-educating American kids, inviting local activism — and New York City has a particularly active BLMAS chapter.

But though the coalition says its goal is to transform US classrooms into “incubators for inclusivity, equity, and justice,” a glance at the curriculum resources it provides teachers gratis makes clear some instead degrade, discriminate and defame certain groups of people as a means of elevating others.

A prime example: the offerings in the “Black+Palestinian Solidarity” section of BLMAS’ Curriculum Resource Guide 2.0. They demonize Zionists and supporters of Israel with anti-Israel propaganda and anti-Jewish tropes, encouraging students to become boycott, divestment and sanctions activists against the Jewish state.........MORE AT Black Lives Matter is indoctrinating kids — here's what you can do (nypost.com)

IN THE NEWS: SURPRISE - THE CDC GROSSLY EXAGERRATED THE EVIDENCE FOR MASK MANDATES

Surprise: The CDC grossly exaggerated the evidence for mask mandates By
Jacob Sullum

February 7, 2023

After questioning the value of general mask wearing early in the COVID-19 pandemic, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention decided the practice was so demonstrably effective that it should be legally mandated even for 2-year-olds. A new review of the evidence suggests the CDC had it right the first time.

That review, published by the Cochrane Library, an authoritative collection of scientific databases, analyzed 18 randomized controlled trials that aimed to measure the impact of surgical masks or N95 respirators.......READ MORE AT The CDC grossly exaggerated the evidence for mask mandates (nypost.com)
