One of the main reasons teacher's unions across the country used to keep kids out of the classroom while they fought for more money and political power was social distancing. Since COVID was this magically super-powered virus that would somehow float around and make people sick if they were within six feet of one another, they said it was impossible to be in the classroom. And then they'd self-righteously point to their COVID Messiah, Fauci, and insist it was SCIENCE.
They also claimed the virus was smart enough to be racist, but that's another story.
Welp, after all of that ... after YEARS in some cases for some kids being out of the classroom, OOPSIE, Fauci says, this guideline lacked scientific basis.

... lacked scientific basis.
YOU DON'T SAY?
From the New York Post:
Dr. Anthony Fauci confessed to lawmakers Tuesday that guidelines to keep six feet of separation — ostensibly to limit the spread of COVID-19 — “sort of just appeared” without scientific input.
Fauci, 83, revealed to the House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic that the “six feet apart” recommendation championed by him and other US public health officials was “likely not based on scientific data,” according to Chairman Brad Wenstrup (R-Ohio), who is also a physician.
Schools nationwide remained closed well into the second year of the pandemic as a result of the social distancing guidelines, which were disputed by both research studies and other health officials.
“It never struck me that six feet was particularly sensical in the context of mitigation,” Dr. Ashish Jha, the dean of the Brown University School of Public Health who served as President Biden’s COVID response coordinator for 15 months, told the New York Times in March 2021.
He pisses me off something fierce.
Can I say that? No? Yes? Well, if not I'll apologize later for it.

Yes, I broke out the thesaurus. A FOR EFFORT.
There are simply not enough words out there to describe how vile Fauci really is.
Yeh...we've known about that for 2 years. That revelation came out around the time the country started opening back up. This isn't new.https://t.co/YYm2xE6zo4

They shut down the country to 'fortify' the election, and if that meant destroying education for millions of children ... oh well.
No words.
