If your child becomes a reader, about 80% of the educational job is already done. That's our honest assessment, based on many of us working in education for over three decades. Everything else is secondary. Most parents think science education is important. Yes, it is. But if you can't read the biology textbook, you're not going to learn biology.
Reading is the meta-skill that enables all other skills. History requires reading. Science requires reading. Even math increasingly requires reading as it becomes more sophisticated. The child who reads voraciously will figure out everything else. The child who doesn't will struggle with everything.
In the Harvard Grant Study, the world’s longest running and most comprehensive psychological study, the five most mature, healthy defense mechanisms associated with higher life satisfaction were:
1. Altruism: focusing on others’ wellbeing
2. Humor: making light of difficult or stressful events or experiences
3. Sublimation: turning anger or frustration into productive energy
4. Anticipation: maintaining a realistic view of the future and its difficulties
5. Suppression: consciously suppressing unproductive and distressing thoughts

@karol@nypost An apology? Sound science was knowingly ignored, information was systematically suppressed, and real experts were deplatformed and silenced. As a result, untold lives were ruined and tens of thousands needlessly suffered and died. We must demand accountability!
@BreesAnna But we were mocked, harangued, and told #ivermectin was a horse de-wormer. This is scandalous and people need to be held accountable for their lies. Watch Dr. Campbell's entire video here. https://t.co/R0aoG9OsIt
Dr. Joseph Ladapo is expected to be confirmed soon as Florida’s new surgeon general. He is against mask mandates and lockdowns, only supports vaccination campaigns if the shots are voluntary and will not say whether he himself has been vaccinated. https://t.co/0p9psimhoZ
@GovLarryHogan needs to support working class Marylanders and small business owners by advocating for the suspension of the $.36/gallon excise tax on motor fuel. BTW- this is one of the highest tax rates in the Union.
“We find no evidence that lockdowns, school closures, border closures, and limiting gatherings have had a noticeable effect on COVID-19 mortality” the researchers wrote.

@OpDracula @captivermectin @DrJBhattacharya How many individuals does it take being told to stay at home before you reach the threshold of an "en masse" situation? One? Ten? Thirty-five? Would the closing of the Flint MI school system be considered a lockdown by your definition?
@OpDracula @captivermectin @DrJBhattacharya Back to @DrJBhattacharya's original point... testing, contact tracing and quarantines of otherwise healthy individuals is a form of lockdowns.
