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.

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.

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 😆

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.
