AFT's Randi Weingarten Flips Out...Over Nothing

<![CDATA[When it comes to how COVID was handled at the national level, it's pretty easy to come up with a top five list of controversial figures that in their own way destroyed the credibility of the government's health care agencies for at least a generation. Those figures include Dr. Anthony Fauci, the former director of the National Institute for Allergy and Infectious Diseases, his boss at the National Institute of Health, Dr. Francis Collins, Center of Disease Control Director Rachel Wolensky, White House COVID Response Coordinator Deborah Birx, and Randi Weingarten, the president of the American Federation of Teachers.In case you missed it, on Friday on the Mall in the Nation's Capital, the Stand Up For Science (or another group of people who really hate Trump) rally took place. Collins, who for years as director of NIH fiercely held onto his claim that he was non-partisan, showed up, with his guitar, and threw his former independence into the Reflecting Pool. While four of the five were in government, Weingarten, running one of the country's largest teacher unions, inserted herself into the role of government advisor and policy ghostwriter during the Biden Administration in 2021. Quite simply, the fact that an entire cohort of kids nationally were locked out of in-person learning for an extended period of time when the science indicated kids were never susceptible to catching or transmitting the virus as much as the elderly and those with co-morbidities, falls directly into the diminutive lap of Weingarten. Over the weekend, she appeared on MSNBC, and lost her ever-loving mind. ]]>
