So the CDC has finally come around and backed off most of the recommendations they had. They acknowledge that the vax doesnt stop the spread any more, etc.
And yet in DC...the mayor is mandating kids (who have no risk) get vaxxed or else...
DC Mayor: All Unvaccinated Children -- Including The Many, Many Unvaccinated Minority Children In DC -- Will Be Barred From School. And Also, There Will Be No Virtual Learning Offered. They Will Be Doomed to Be Uneducated by Mayoral Edict.

In fairness, they weren't going to learn in DC schools, anyway. So.
The Daily Signal:
They have 20 days to get their vaccination certificate, then they to be "removed" from public education.
The mandate also somehow applies to private schools.
But hey, this government school thing is working out great, isn't it?
And all those homeschoolers are just crazy nutters.

The Daily Signal:
The District of Columbia does not appear to have a contingency plan for unvaccinated students, who are banned from attending schools in person this fall after the first twenty days, according to comments made by Washington, D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser Thursday.
During a press conference, Bowser, a Democrat, admitted there are no alternative options, including virtual learning, for students who cannot attend school due to the District's vaccine mandate, meaning unvaccinated children will effectively be left without an education.
Over 40% of blacks ages 12-17 are not vaccinated, according to city data.
The Daily Signal asked Bowser what the plan was for unvaccinated students. Washington, D.C. public schools start Monday.
Bowser responded "They can go to school on Monday. But they need to get their vaccinations... and their families will be alerted as to the dates."
They have 20 days to get their vaccination certificate, then they to be "removed" from public education.
Updated data from the government's vaccine numbers website shows 47% of the black children in the district ages 12-15 had not completed their primary vaccination series necessary to go back to school in person.
Among black teens aged 16-17, 42% are unvaccinated.
The mandate also somehow applies to private schools.
