CDC: Vaccinated students can skip masks in fall – UPI.com (Me: Lack of clear policy endangers students, staffs and families!)

Students in grades K-12 who have been vaccinated against COVID-19 can go without masks at school this fall, according to new guidelines released Friday by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Their classmates who have not had their shots, however, still should wear masks, the CDC said.

The new guidelines, which are recommendations and not requirements, come after the CDC cleared the COVID-19 vaccines from Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna for use in children ages 12 and older in May. Still, many school districts across the country already have lifted mask mandates ahead of the start of the 2021-22 school year, agency officials acknowledged.

« Il denaro non ci protegge … non crea la nostra gioia. Per i *bianchi è diverso. »

Arcobaleno sulla foresta, Alto Orinoco, Amazonas, Venezuela

«Gli sciamani Yanomami non lavorano per soldi come i dottori bianchi. Agiscono semplicemente per mantenere il cielo e la foresta al loro posto in modo che possiamo cacciare, piantare i nostri giardini e vivere una vita sana. I nostri anziani non conoscevano i soldi. … Il denaro non ci protegge … non crea la nostra gioia. Per i bianchi è diverso. Non possono sognare spiriti come noi. Preferiscono ignorare che il lavoro degli sciamani è proteggere la terra, sia per noi che per i nostri figli e per loro e per i loro.»

  • Sciamano Yanomami e portavoceDavi Kopenawa

* Il citato sciamano Yanomami si riferisce alla distruzione della foresta pluviale e delle vite indigene dopo la “conquista delle Americhe” da parte degli europei bianchi (non indigeni) che iniziò la violenta espropriazione delle popolazioni indigene 520 anni fa.

Context, Thought, and Learning: ShiraDest Offers Project Do Better

 A basic understanding of science, and support for free access by all residents to high quality branch libraries with trained Reference Librarians who also understand basic science, is another responsibility of being an Adult in a republic.  Understanding the basics underlying any illness, like smallpox or typhoid, the history behind it, and the sensible precautions that can be taken to avoid it, are like teaching Typhoid Mary why she was a carrier.  We all have a duty and a right to understand, and to protect our fellow human beings.

Opinion | The Trumpian Roots of the Chip Crisis – The New York Times

Chad Bown of the Peterson Institute for International Economics documents in an important new article, the Trump administration’s trade policy made the situation much worse.

When Trump took us into a trade war with China, there was clearly a lot he and his advisers failed to understand about modern world trade. Among other things, they didn’t seem to grasp that modern trade consists not of simple exchanges of goods — they sell us cars, we sell them aircraft — but of complex supply chains, in which the production of a given item often involves activities spread across the globe.

Given this reality, the structure of the Trump tariffs was, well, stupid: They focused mainly on intermediate inputs like semiconductors and capital equipment, which American companies need to compete in the world market. As a result, multiple studies have found, the tariffs actually reduced U.S. manufacturing employment.

But Trump’s trade policy wasn’t just poorly conceived. It was also erratic. Nobody knew which products might face new tariffs or whether the tariffs he had imposed would remain in place. And in high technology, especially semiconductors, Trump began imposing export restrictions, again in an erratic fashion (and with an apparent lack of awareness that, in many cases, China could simply turn to other suppliers).
