NBC News Shocked to Find Pediatricians Want to Open Schools

RUSH: Los Angeles teachers union, in exchange for going back to in-person classes, is demanding the defunding of police, Medicaid for all, and a ban on new charter schools. The LA teachers union has announced that before they’re gonna go back to in-person classes the police have to be defunded, there must be Medicare for All, and there must be a wealth tax on the rich to pay for at least $500 billion in additional aid to the schools.

RUSH: So here are the names of the doctors you heard there. Vanderbilt professor Dr. Buddy Creech. Pediatric infectious diseases physician Dr. Jennifer Lighter. University of Vermont Children’s Hospital director of pediatric infectious diseases, Dr. William Raszka. Stanford University professor Dr. Yvonne Maldonado and pediatrician Dr. Sheila Patel.

All five said, yep, sending my kids back. I’m looking forward to it, they’re looking forward to it. There’s no reason not to. The NBC people could not believe this. I’m surprised they aired it…
