Coronavirus: Thread

> Fauci Exposed...

CDC and Teachers Unions Exposed...
It was never about Science, Only Politics and Power...

Public Teacher/Employee Unions... clearly as fraudulent as all
politicians... protected via employed by and for Government,
using it to indoctrinate kids, and self-preserve continue prop and
enrich themselves, and not subject to competition free market
choice, nor to election or recall, no opt-out for your kids,
certainly not without continuing to be forced to pay them.
Their Corona game was always suspect, getting paid
to sit at home doing no public work, teaching no students,
negotiating their Govt contracts up, rolling out wokeism,
pushing FUD, etc.

Emails released via a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request reveal
the Biden administration tightened its masking guidelines after a
prominent teachers union threatened to release a statement harshly
criticizing CDC masking policy, according to Fox News.

In a draft statement sent to the White House, the National Education
Association slammed the Centers for Disease Control after announcing
on May 13 that fully vaccinated Americans could stop wearing masks
indoors and outside, sparking confusion as to how this would apply to
schools.

After several frantic back-and-forth conversations, the CDC
'clarified' its guidance to indicate that everyone in schools should
mask up, regardless of vaccination status, according to the emails
obtained by watchdog group, Americans for Public Trust.

    As suspected, the CDC's current school mask guidance came at the
request/demand of the teachers unions, not based on any science.

More via Fox News:

    "Would you know when Dr. Wolensky would be able to call NEA-Pres.
Becky Pringle?" Dinkel-Smith wrote in the email. "They've gotten
significant incoming and are getting targeted for a response from the
media. I've gotten them to hold on their statement calling for
clarification."

    That same day, Dinkel-Smith received the NEA's draft statement,
allowing them to weigh in on it.

    "We appreciate the developing nature of the science and its
implications for guidance, but releasing the guidance without
accompanying school-related updates creates confusion and fuels the
internal politicization of this basic health and safety issue," the
draft statement read. "CDC has consistently said, and studies support,
that mitigation measures, including to protect the most vulnerable,
remain necessary in schools and institutions of higher education –
particularly because no elementary or middle school students, and few
high school students, have been vaccinated."

    "This will also make it hard for school boards and leaders of
institutions of higher education to do the right thing by maintaining
mitigation measures," it continued. "We need CDC clarification right
away."

    Following discussion and coordination with the Biden White House,
the NEA released a statement with a much less critical tone.

    The emails also show the White House and the CDC had extensive
contact with union leadership.

    On May 14, Dinkel-Smith asked CDC chief of staff Sherri Berger to
connect NEA President Becky Pringle with the CDC director. Berger
responded to the request by writing "will do" and that the CDC
director was "connecting w/ Becky now."

    Less than 30 minutes later, Berger sent an update saying she had
spoken with Pringle and Randi Weingarten, president of the American
Federation of Teachers.

    The next day, on May 15, the CDC updated its masking guidance to
indicate that all people should wear a mask at school regardless of
vaccination status.

"This batch of emails came just weeks after we already exposed the
teachers unions influenced the CDC on school openings," Americans for
Public Trust Executive Director Caitlin Sutherland told Fox News. "Lo
and behold, less than two weeks later, they're at it again, but this
time in relation to mask guidance."
