I think you are missing my point again — we can of course argue about whether children get immune or whether it was reasonable to keep the schools closed down that long, I don't even think that we disagree on those, but that is beside my point, which is: statement like "children are unlikely to contribute to the spread of viral disease" undermines the trust in the rest of the report.

This makes the report look biased to me and undermines the credibility of everything else in it. That was my point: not children, hoaxes, vaccines and everything else. The report did not even change my mind on the origin of the virus, I believe that it did come from the lab, not from a… pangolin bought on some market, and I did the entire time — there is a virus lab nearby, that's also just reasonable.

Nah, I don't agree with that. It's indeed highly viral and deadly — look at earlier SARS and MERS, those were stopped early on. COVID was such a clusterfuck because WHO attempted to downplay it originally, travel restrictions should've also been intruduced early on. But no — not doing anything about it wasn't the way, AFAIR Sweden did that and later they had to admit it was a mistake and even issue an apology.

Trump too went from "It's just a flu" to Operation Warp Speed (presented as a good thing in the report, although the vaccines have obviously failed us). I don't believe in any NWO shit — I think those were just desperate measures in an attempt to overcompensate for the failure to act early on, it wasn't all wrong, but, to put it mildly… suboptimal 😆

They probably wanted to take a jab at Biden with this — keeping schoold closed down that long was probably a mistake and that would be a valid critique, however… Children indeed do not occupy hospital beds, their parents do — and their colleagues, so the real mistake was not closing the chools down EARLIER. But that was Trump's responsibility, so they wanted to avoid that and went with such a brazen statement.
