There’s a video going around of a 10-year old boy giving a speech to his school board on masking. The boy does a great job explaining the hypocrisy and futility of masking children in schools. I'd like to drive home the point with some data.
We all know that the impacts of Covid are highly stratified by age, and that children rarely get the disease if at all much less have bad outcomes. But we also know that these vaccines are highly effective. The latest data out of Israel and the UK shows they are 97% effective at reducing the risk of death from Covid.
Where do these two factors meet? At what age is a fully vaccinated adult at the same risk from Covid as an unvaccinated child? 40 years old, 55, 75? Answer Below:

The answer is 30! See table below using CDC data showing Covid death rates by age as well those death rates reduced by 97% to show the effects of full vaccination.
Isn't this incredible! As we speak your typical millennial is now gearing up to start their Post-Covid/Post-Vaccination Rumspringa and yet they’re still 2 to 3 times as likely to die from Covid compared to an unvaccinated elementary school child.
Meanwhile POTUS Biden is now safe to go without a mask, but he makes his grandchild wear a mask outside even though the POTUS is still 100 TIMES more likely to die from the disease.
Let's put aside whether masks are effective. (they aren't...) If fully vaccinated adults are now considered safe to go without a mask indoors and out, then children don't need masks. PERIOD.
Take these Fucking Masks off our kids, and open the damn schools with no restrictions. TODAY!!
Anyway 0 and 2...
