Former NY Governor Andrew Cuomo didn’t listen to Dr. Zev Zelenko about Covid-19. Don’t be a Cuomo. Dr. Zelenko’s new Z-Dtox and Z-Stack nutraceuticals come highly recommended by many doctors.
COVID-19 itself has not been killing kids in droves.
According to figures cited by the American Academy of Pediatrics, among the 46 states that reported, “children were 0.00-0.26 percent of all COVID-19 deaths, and four states reported zero child deaths.”
But you’d never know that from the policies many states have instituted, including remote schooling, mask mandates, sitting six feet apart at lunch, and even quarantining from school.
Despite being the lowest-risk demographic, in many ways, kids have carried the biggest burden, suffering learning loss, emotional and behavioral issues, and myriad other traumas that will be difficult, if not impossible, to undo.
We all know how adults are coping with the pandemic, but we’re grown-ups. We can handle it. The COVID-19 pandemic through the eyes of a child looks something like this: No school, no recess, no friends. Remote learning. Math on an app and English on a computer, sometimes without an adult nearby to help. Back to school. Desks six feet apart. Masks. No uncovered faces, no expressions. No physical cues to communicate. Increased anxiety. Washing hands. Wiping down desks. Substitute teachers. Worried parents. Missed assignments. Endless quarantines.
COVID-19 policies in liberal states are hurting kids even more than the disease is.
In Montgomery County, Maryland, a bastion of liberalism just outside of the nation’s capital, health officials say the county wants to implement a vaccine passport to increase vax rates among children 5-11 years old, despite no research available about the possible long-term effects of the shots.
If they don’t comply? They’re banned from living life. (Think dining out, concerts, etc.) The risk of getting COVID-19, much less dying from it, is minuscule, yet kids won’t be able to get out and be able to experience some of the small joys of life.

School is really where COVID-19 theater has robbed kids of a real life, and that’s key, because kids in K-12 spend a lot of time in school.
Some teachers are taking COVID policies so far that kids live in fear of breaking the rules. A teacher in the North Penn School District—in another Montgomery County, this one in Pennsylvania—taped a young child’s mask to his face. New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy just announced mask mandates for schools and day care facilities, despite the fact that there’s little evidence they’re effective, but plenty of evidence showing that children are at near-zero risk of dying from COVID.
One female student expressed exasperation with mask mandates at a Jan. 19 meeting of the Naperville School Board in Illinois:
Thank you for teaching students that our own mental health is much less important than making triple-vaccinated adults feel safe. … Thank you for not reaching out to the students to ask about how we feel about masks, because if you did, the majority of students would say that they hate masks, and then you might second-guess your decision to make us wear them.
Through the sarcasm, the contempt she has for the school board is obvious.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention actually recognized some of the issues with masks that conservatives and others have sought to address.
In September, the CDC changed its mask guidance and called for cloth masks with clear panels for children learning to read, among other cases related to speech and language development and special needs, but it was too little too late.
School administrators are stuck in their own ways—COVID-19 protocols from March 2020 play on an endless loop in their heads and influence their policies, however poorly.
One Canadian teacher wrote a post on former New York Times journalist Bari Weiss’ Substack website that should bring any person with an ounce of empathy to tears. In Canada, just 23 children have died over the past two-plus years, but it hasn’t stopped Canada’s schools from forcing kids to adapt to an awful way of life.

When we were physically in school, it felt like there was no longer life in the building. Maybe it was the masks that made it so no one wanted to engage in lessons, or even talk about how they spent their weekend. But it felt cold and soulless.
My students weren’t allowed to gather in the halls or chat between classes. They still aren’t. Sporting events, clubs, and graduation were all canceled.
These may sound like small things, but these losses were a huge deal to the students. These are rites of passages that can’t be made up.
In my classroom, the learning loss is noticeable. My students can’t concentrate, and they aren’t doing the work that I assign to them. They have way less motivation, compared to before the pandemic began.
Some of my students chose not to come back at all, either because of fear of the virus, or because they are debilitated by social anxiety. And now they have the option to do virtual schooling from home.
Learning loss among the youngest of schoolchildren, who have spent a third of their young lives navigating a pandemic, is difficult to calculate, but so far, it doesn’t look promising. One 2021 McKinsey & Company study stated:
Our analysis shows that the impact of the pandemic on K–12 student learning was significant, leaving students on average five months behind in mathematics and four months behind in reading by the end of the school year.
Emotionally, older children especially are increasingly depressed. The suicide rate among teens has skyrocketed during the pandemic after they had their social lives ripped away as proms and graduation parties disappeared.
It’s true that kids are resilient. Some will recover from the emotional turmoil, the lost learning, and the trauma of constant rules and masks, but some won’t, but that’s not the point. We don’t force kids to endure trauma just because they have the capability of recovering.
We learned fairly early on that COVID-19 blessedly spared children and teens from death, yet we continued to act like the risk is great, proportional to the preventative measures we could take.
We thrust our collective anxieties on children and forced them to bear the burdens thereof at great cost. Now, we will watch as they try to pick themselves up, dust themselves off, and move on, because, in the final analysis, the risk of losing their lives for this was very small, and they still have a whole life to live.

Yes, We Need Your Help
I hate being “that guy” who asks people to donate because I think our conservative news network is so crucial, but here I am…
When I left my cushy corporate job in 2017, I did so knowing that my family would have to make sacrifices. But I couldn’t continue to watch the nation slip into oblivion and was inspired by President Trump’s willingness to fight the good fight even at his own personal expense. What I didn’t realize then is that conservative media would be so heavily attacked, canceled, and defunded that the sacrifices would be extreme.
Many in this nation are struggling right now even though we weren’t struggling just a few years ago. I’m not alone. But I wake up every morning and operate the sites we’ve been able to build because there’s really no other choice. I refuse to be beholden to Big Tech like so many other conservative news outlets, which is why you won’t see Google ads here. With that said, it’s often challenging to pay the bills and it’s even harder to expand so we can get the America First message out to a wider audience.
The economic downturn has forced me to make a plea for help. Between cancel culture, lockdowns, and diminishing ad revenue, we need financial assistance in order to continue to spread the truth. We ask all who have the means, please donate through our new GiveSendGo. Your generosity is what keeps these sites running and allows us to expand our reach so the truth can get to the masses. We’ve had great success in growing but we know we can do more with your assistance.
We currently operate:
- NOQ Report
- Conservative Playlist
- Uncanceled News
- Based Underground
- Truth Based Media
- Five other conservative news sites
I would even be willing to entertain investments and partnerships at this stage. I’ve turned them down in the past because editorial purity is extremely important. I’ll turn them down again if anyone wants us to start supporting RINOs or avoid “taboo” topics like voter fraud, vaccines, or transgender supremacy. But I’d talk to fellow America First patriots who want to help any (or all) of our 10 news sites. Hit me up at jdrucker (at) substack (dot) com if you’re interested.
For those who have the means and just want to help keep the mission of spreading a conservative, Christian message to the nation, please consider a generous donation.
