Looking forward to seeing @FCCPS update their guidance accordingly. @FCCPS also needs to drop the vax requirement for sports and club participation immediately. It is unnecessary and discriminatory.
HUGE news coming out of VDH! Asymptomatic quarantines are no longer recommended for Students, Teachers and Staff in Child Care, K-12

Here is the best data on school mask mandates *to date* ➡️ No meaningful effect of masking kids in school.
This does *not* mean we can't derive benefit from masking on an individual level ... 1/3
In Catalonia 🇪🇸, 6yo wore masks in schools but 5yo did not
A brilliant team used this to see what effect mask wearing had on #COVID19 transmission
Finding: No difference between the two groups
Conclusion: No meaningful effect of masking school children

The preprint on vax myocarditis that broke the world: published. 🧵
TL/DR: findings strongly support individualized paediatric COVID-19 vaccination strategies which weigh protection against severe disease vs. risks of vaccine-associated myo/pericarditis

This is dystopian.
The CDC just lowered the standard for speech in early childhood development.
Instead of highlighting the harmful effects masking & social isolation have had on small children the CDC just lowered the bar. Presto! No impact!

A UK study of ~1500 immunocompromised kids concludes:
"This study shows SARS-CoV-2 infections have occurred in immunocompromised children and young people with no increased risk of severe disease. No children died."

Representing #UrgencyOfNormal on @CBSNews
-we lack evidence of benefits of masking kids; there are downsides
-normal childhood has enormous value
-high risk have access to vax
-vax doesn't halt transmission; child vax rate shouldn't affect return to normalcy or used to segregate

"At this juncture, with 2 years of accumulated evidence, we have not seen evidence that masking children in schools significantly reduces the transmission of COVID-19."

"Both the scientific literature and data from Los Angeles County suggest limited or no efficacy of mask mandates in reducing COVID-19 infections.
Furthermore, the mask mandate has potential harms"

We're exiting the state of pandemic emergency across our national Montessori school network. No more distancing, no more quarantines, no more mask requirements.

🇳🇴 Norway re covid in schools
"Only adults that have symptoms are encouraged to get tested
Children don't need to be tested even if they have symptoms
Children should stay home if sick but can return to school when they have been fever free for 24 hours"

To discriminate against CHILDREN in this manner is unacceptable and frankly, immoral. Parents are furious and children are fearing ostracism. It’s forcing masks without forcing them. This madness must stop. 2/3 @JasonMiyaresVA @GlennYoungkin @Dunnavant4VA @ChapPetersen

This bill has been received and referred and is scheduled to be heard tomorrow morning in @DelGlennDavis’ House Education Committee.
We want to acknowledge our @FCCPS board for staying the course and maintaining their policy to allow parents to opt their children out of masking on Monday 2/14. This was the right choice for parents and children. We hope @fcpsnews and @APSVirginia join them asap. It’s time.
And a lifetime of thank you’s for every VA representative on both sides today who voted to give parents choice when it comes to masking their child in school. Especially @ChapPetersen!! ❤️@ArlParentsforEd @FFXParentsAssoc

In an overwhelming bipartisan show of support, the Senate of Virginia took a significant step today for parents and children. I applaud Senator @ChapPetersen’s amendment to give parents the right to decide whether their children should wear masks in schools.
