This is equal parts cruel and insane, . Zero justification. It hurts children, parents, educators, and communities (and it protects no one). Stop discriminating. Stop segregating.

For everyone who says "covid restrictions are over," my friend was just denied entry to his child's NYC school building for a family event because he did not have his covid vaccine card with him.

Today I needed an egg for a recipe. I took one out of the fridge & put it on the counter. I put the pan on the stove. When I turned back around the egg was missing. I looked all over but couldn't find it. I eventually just got a new egg but I did wonder where the first egg went.

There's a direct connection to the gas stove narrative and masks/vaccines for kids. -Liberals think they're protecting children and don't understand why people don't appreciate that -Everyone else thinks "ok thank you but shouldn't it be my decision if I want to take the risk?"

This is the kind of thing I would have reflexively believed 3 years ago, but that was before the experts told me that masks work (even on toddlers), the pediatric covid vaccine will save your child's life, and babies don't need to see faces.

I asked my normie Democrat husband if he had about the stoves. He had, and he doesn't understand how anyone thinks this is a good idea.

I have been to two urgent cares in the past week (both ) and each time I was handed a surgical mask. Which I wore for about 23 minutes until I was done with my appointment, and then threw out. Can we think about the environmental impact of this?

I still get an email every single time someone at my daughter's school has covid. Please stop reporting your kid's covid to the school. The emails are annoying.

I thought @NYCSchools Situation Room was closed. Yet that's where this email says it's from. What's going on @necs @DOEChancellor?

This is a husband appreciation post. Sometimes I think about how much has achieved in his career (a lot!!!) and I remember the day I sent my slightly blurry husband off to his first day of work.

I'd like to start tweeting funny things about being a lawyer. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Ann Arbor Superintendent Jeanice Kerr Swift just mandated masks on all students. Here she is three days ago accepting an award, smiling ear-to-ear with no mask in sight. Living a normal adult life while forcing masks on speech-delayed 4-year-olds is the definition of cruelty.

I see things like this and honestly feel like the US is operating on an entirely different plane of existence in regards to covid and children 🤯

Email from preschool requiring negative test before returning today,strongly recommending masks for the next two weeks, and saying they’ll require the bivalent booster for 3 and 4 year olds next year already breaking my resolve to leave this shit behind this year.

Keeping NYC middle and high schools remote for most of the 20-21 school year was a huge mistake.

New: As NYC teens face an ongoing mental health crisis + the city’s cannabis landscape shifts, some schools are seeing more student marijuana use spilling into the school day - but often don’t feel they have the resources + training to respond effectively: ny.chalkbeat.org/2023/1/4/23537

I can't believe we are stuck between ppl who think 1. an 80 year old w/o COVID should NOT have gotten vax in Jan 2021 🤦‍♂️ 2. a 5 year old in Dec 2022 who had omicron should get bivalent booster 🤦‍♂️ Two irrational, opposite groups, with the death of sense and EBM in the middle

Walker, you're skirting defamation I didn't "work with" a think tank. I was invited to an event where I got to interview scientists And IDK how you define vax skepticism but my reporting is on published data and has echoed views from FDA advisors and policies in other countries

This is a total lie. My daughter’s NYC public school stayed closed until that spring and my son’s other NYC public school was 2-3 days a week after a multi-week closure. This person knows zero about what actually happened to kids and does not care.

People in NYC are still begging for covid restrictions in schools. Including having two weeks of remote instruction! It's the winter. Kids get sick. Stop trying to force your anxiety and germaphobia on others. Move on.

One of my favorite parts of Fleishman was that it portrayed a male-female friendship in a really positive way. There were no sexual undertones, just two people who really cared about each other as friends and who also happened to be different genders.

And I could be wrong, but I believe that these were recently put up. I've gone through this exit of this train station about once a month for the past year and I've never noticed these.

A 7th grader in NYC made these propaganda posters. So upsetting that no one in public health realized these were dystopian and psychologically damaging.

These posters are currently on display in NYC's Columbus Circle train station. The one in orange was made by a seventh grader.

I have 2 thoughts about 's article: 1. This should have been written a year ago. If it is ridiculous to now demand that we mask forever, it was ridiculous last year too. And yet school kids had to mask until March 2022, and toddlers until June.

If public health is political then it needs to be subject to the political process. But they hand down dictates and say we can’t question them, because “science”.

No, it’s not “become” political. Public health has always been political and is intrinsically so. The problem is it’s been subject to a half-century of biomedicalization together with attendant neoliberal ideological frames such that it’s been left hollow. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/10800418/
