    It also may come as a shock that while the physical buildings were closed, school was still held virtually. Teachers still worked from home throughout the pandemic like a large percentage of the population. If closing of schools means they didn’t deserve to be paid while working virtually then basically anyone that wasn’t an essential worker didn’t deserve to either based on buckeyes logic, or should I say lack of logic. Where’s the outrage for all the business that are still working remote. My wife’s company just now went back to the office and only for 3 days a week.

    I think we’re way past outrage and onto darkly deformed. I do sympathize with teachers though. They have to have rotator cuff issues from constantly patting themselves on the back.

    Tell buckeye that then, he still seems to be stuck in the outrage phase.

    So beyond the initial few months of the pandemic, when everyone agreed that it was a good idea to close schools out of caution, when did Fauci push hard to close schools?

    maybe you need to lookup what “few” means. That’s your issue

    A few months means around 3, maybe 4. You got anything that shows Fauci 'pushed hard' to close the schools after May 2020?

    August 4, 2020: Dr. Fauci calls for the continuing closure of schools in areas with high transmission, and a hybrid learning system in areas with moderate transmission, in elaborating on a scaled approach that allows for schools to remain open based on unspecified area transmission numbers.

    August 4, 2020: ABC reports that Fauci is still concerned that schools could be vectors for transmission of COVID-19.

    August 13, 2020: Fauci agrees that the future entails “many months” of virtual learning, in supporting keeping schools physically closed.

    September 3, 2020: Schools can only open back up once the virus is “under control,” Fauci tells CNN.

    September 20, 2020: Fauci declares that “some” schools may be able to open safely, but that places with high COVID-19 transmission levels may want to pause before they start sending the kids back to school for a variety of reasons.”

    LOL! That's what you call pushing hard to keep schools closed? I can see why you didn't include the link though. By November he was saying this(from your link):

    On ABC’s “This Week,” Fauci recently stated: “The default position should be to try as best as possible within reason to keep the children in school or to get them back to school. … If you look at the data, the spread among children and from children is not really very big at all, not like one would have suspected. So let’s try to get the kids back, but let’s try to mitigate the things that maintain and just push the kind of community spread that we’re trying to avoid.”

    Yet here he is in May of 21 advocating for schools to open fully next fall LOL. Why would he be saying that in 2021 if as you say he was only for shutting down schools for a “few” months. Oh and let’s not even discuss the arbitrary “community spread” numbers they used as a baseline.

    He was saying it in the fall of 2020. Your own link says so.

    Only in areas with low Covid spread. Good try at revisionist history.

    Nope. Read it again and try to comprehend it this time. Sure doesn't sound like he was pushing hard to shut schools down.

    On ABC’s “This Week,” Fauci recently stated: “The default position should be to try as best as possible within reason to keep the children in school or to get them back to school. … If you look at the data, the spread among children and from children is not really very big at all, not like one would have suspected.
