The school year is starting, and schools are starting to look for ways to silence the people who insist on masks, social distancing and further shutdowns.
The Alabama Department of Public Health is providing them with that cover by suggesting, not demanding, masks for all students and social distancing.
Schools are taking this opportunity.
In the last 24 hours, at least three school systems, Madison, Arab and Homewood, and Auburn University have decided they will require masks for their students.
In the last 24 hours, an anti-masks in schools group, “Unmask Our Kids!” was de-platformed after Reddit trolls falsely reported them for misinformation.
It wasn’t misinformation. It was an opinion people didn’t like, so they silenced them.
School board members clearly fear these same people and the media that has pushed the messaging that anything short of a complete mask, vaccine and shutdown regime is child murder.
The usual suspects are ecstatic because they are still trying to justify their previous mask-fervor even though there doesn’t appear to be any hard evidence that the masks played any role in the decrease in deaths and cases in the last school year.
Why did the cases and deaths drop off?
It’s the vaccines.
Some interesting graphs…
1. Tokyo with 98% mask compliance
2. Vaccines vs. masksI’m not gonna give you some phony ineffective plea so I can make my self feel better, these are the facts.

The reason deaths are skyrocketing right now?
It’s the vaccines.
Milestone today. Per CDC, 90% of all U.S. residents age 65+ have been vaccinated at least one dose. pic.twitter.com/J5OfSvMvNd

This is all indisputable.
The numbers are clear.

Those numbers come from the Alabama Department of Public Health dashboard.
Age is the killer, not the cases.
Kids are relatively low-risk for this and spreading the virus. The mask we are wearing really doesn’t do anything.
Joe Biden’s top covid advisor just went on CNN and admitted the masks people are wearing don’t work against covid. As I’ve been saying, this is all just cosmetic theater. https://t.co/bB58Up5GXN

Every school that adds masks and restrictions from this moment on is not doing it because they are “following the science.” They are covering their butts, and the Alabama Department of Public Health is providing the cover.
