You let a liar say this on your show. Keeping the audience stupid is the goal of MSNBC.

Imagine if someone said oh, let's say...defund the police, because we should shift from government policing to self policing? That would work well, wouldn't it? Or, perhaps eliminate speed limits and let people drive the speed at which they feel comfortable.

There’s not many times when I wish I’d not left the US but our 5-11 years in the U.K. are just being left to get continually infected. No masks and no vaccines for them. I’m fact absolutely no mitigation at all. Just open windows when it’s freezing cold outside. 😐
The evidence he's using to say it's more severe in kids only applies to 0-4yos (ie ones not at school). The stat for other age kids isn't higher for kids than for adults. So the info relevant for school policy is that it isn't more severe (using his source data), per yellow bars.

And to think 4/30 children could potentially become #covidlonghaulers and face having to live life as I have for the past 22 months is devastating 😢 💔 I do not wish spots on the liver swollen lymph nodes in the lungs sarcoidosis and loosing 7 teeth upon anyone's child.

The good news is Chairman Xi's senior advisors tell him it makes no sense to start a war with the U.S. now. Just wait 20 years and Americans will surrender without a fight just to get back to normal.

I would like to see much more coverage of long Covid.
