A colleague has a 4 y/o who is intubated due to COVID and asked us, a group of physician friends, how to tell the 6 y/o their sibling may not come home. This is what happens when you leave masks up to parent choice - this child wore TWO masks, other kids didn’t.

The parking lot after a school board meeting last night in Franklin, the wealthiest place in Tennessee. Parents harassed medical professionals who had spoken in favor of masks in schools. “We know who you are. You can leave freely, but we will find you.” pic.twitter.com/SzR0uvMeE7

JUST IN: Southwest Airlines, American Airlines, and Delta Air Lines will NOT REQUIRE employees to get vaccinated, breaking with United Airlines' mandate that workers get vaccinated by October 25th or face getting fired.

FUN FACT: @tedcruz’s kids go to a $30K/year private school where students are REQUIRED to wear masks and the school does contact tracing.

Will he pull his kids out of this oppressive establishment? pic.twitter.com/eUYBnOZf9x

The anti mask at schools revolution is underway in Tennessee. These are the people who couldn’t get in the meeting tonight. They’ve never seen a crowd this big before for a school board meeting. pic.twitter.com/GXTDmPks6A

Amazing: Google's YouTube suspended @RandPaul -- a US Senator and a medical doctor -- for disputing the efficacy of cloth masks.

JUST LAST WEEK: Biden's former COVID adviser, the epidemiologist Michael Osterholm, told @camanpour exactly the same thing.https://t.co/QUfjY1Ae6U

Just got off the phone with my gf in Virginia. Less than a week after school started her 10YO tests positive for COVID. Two days ago he had a sore throat, this evening he will likely be intubated.

Who will protect the children?

The private school that Ted Cruz’s kids attend is requiring masks

The private school that Ron DeSantis’s kids attend is requiring masks

Why are OUR KIDS not deserving of the same protection? Hmm???

Today, the 5 most vaccinated states (14M people) had

580 people in hospital, 12 deaths

In the 5 least vaccinated states (16M people)?

6,600 hospitalized, 104 deaths

Per capita , least vaccinated states have

10X hospitalizations and 7X deaths

So yeah, vaccines are working

If you’re upset about the return of mask mandates, blame the anti-vaxxers.
