An entire generation of children faces devastating learning loss, crushing mental health challenges, record-high absenteeism, poverty and lost opportunity because schools were forcibly closed during the pandemic. Long past the time when adults resumed their lives, children were onerously restricted, kept alone and isolated in spite of clear data showing covid posed little threat to the young and healthy.
GENERATION COVID reveals the stark realities of post-covid America with a focus on the long term harms done to children due to ineffective and prolonged school closures, lockdowns and other restrictions that were needlessly imposed on their lives.
Despite clear and incontrovertible evidence of the harms done - especially to the poor and working class - malignant political forces seek to censor, silence and vilify anyone who questions the efficacy of these unprecedented and unscientific decisions. Our children are paying the price. We all are.
