We know that by now:
Dr. Anthony Fauci flagged an article in an email to the director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), highlighting portions that said the CDC’s guidance to impose 6-foot social distancing in schools was not based on science.
Fauci, the longtime director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, sent a STAT News op-ed to Dr. Rochelle Walensky, the CDC’s director, on Feb. 20, 2021.
“You probably have already seen this. But just in case, you should be aware of it,” Fauci wrote.
Fauci highlighted several paragraphs from the article, penned by Dr. Vinay Prasad and political science professor Vladimir Kogan, including a line that says the social distancing guidance was “not supported by science.”

Heart abnormalities were detected in some adolescents months after COVID-19 vaccination, according to a study.
Researchers at Seattle Children’s Hospital reviewed cases of patients younger than 18 who went to the hospital with chest pain and elevated serum troponin levels, two key markers of heart inflammation, within a week of getting a second dose of Pfizer’s COVID-19 vaccine.

Vaccinated and unvaccinated children aged 5 to 11 years were about equally likely to test positive for COVID-19, according to the past several weeks of data released by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
The rate of COVID-19 cases detected in children aged 5 to 11 was about 122 per 100,000 for the unvaccinated and over 131 per 100,000 for the vaccinated during the week that ended Feb. 19. In the prior week, the rate was 248 and 244 for the unvaccinated and vaccinated, respectively.
The month before, the rate was nearly 1,800 per 100,000 in the unvaccinated and over 1,340 per 100,000 among the vaccinated during the week ended Jan. 15.
While the CDC also tracks COVID-19 deaths among the vaccinated and unvaccinated, the agency omits data for ages 5 to 11 “due to low numbers.”
Young children are at the lowest risk of contracting COVID-19 or suffering severe outcomes. In the week that ended Feb. 19, however, 5- to 11-year-olds had the highest case rate among all the vaccinated age groups, the data shows. The lowest rate was among vaccinated 65- to 79-year-olds: about 86 cases per 100,000.
The CDC didn’t respond by press time to a request by The Epoch Times for an explanation of the case rate among 5- to 11-year-olds.

**35 Ontario media outlets representing 100s and 100s of reporters are members of Unifor. Not one of these journalists broke the story of the $50,000 COVID test kits bribe given to their union boss. Tell me how that's remotely possible. I'll wait. https://t.co/zsOMkqeGAh

A disciplinary hearing against a Calgary chiropractor who treated patients without wearing a mask has become a forum under oath to debate the efficacy of masking to reduce the spread of COVID-19.

There is limited scientific justification for universal vaccine mandates, two medical experts yesterday told the Commons health committee. The Prime Minister’s dismissal of unvaccinated Canadians as a racist fringe group was uniquely unhelpful, said the president of one medical association: “It was politically driven. It did not help anyone in the health care industry.”

Strong job growth driven by the so-called “core age” Canadians — those aged 25 to 54 — was dampened by a lagged return to the workforce among youth and older adults.
Comparing the latest StatCan figures to February 2020, unemployment last month was up 8.8 per cent in the 15-24 age group and 5.1 per cent higher for those aged 55 and older.
Economist Brittany Feor with the Labour Market Information Council (LMIC) says it’s too early to declare the pandemic job recovery complete when gaps remain across the board.
“It’s easy to forget that there’s a lot more going on,” she says.

Informants flooded the Canada Revenue Agency with tips on suspected cheaters who falsely claimed pandemic relief cheques, records show. The volume of tips to the Agency doubled to more than 60,000 last year: “The leads program saw a significant increase.”

China - the model of efficiency:
China locked down its financial hub of Shanghai on Monday, a city of 26 million people, in an extreme attempt to quell the transmission of COVID.
The snap lockdown, announced by local authorities late on Sunday, included dividing its most populous city in half, mass testing, closing businesses and confining millions of people to their homes.
The zero-tolerance measures are a response to what is largely asymptomatic cases of COVID. They also come at a time when most Western nations are exiting from COVID lockdowns and restrictions and attempting to co-exist with the virus.
Shanghai reported 3,500 cases on Monday, almost all with no or mild symptoms.
President Xi Jinping announced earlier this month that China would stick to its “dynamic zero-COVID strategy,” which aims to stamp out infections and prevent the virus from spreading through communities.
