Hard to get a less pro-Trump guy than Gates, so I think we can exclude politics from this one. And as head of the Gates Foundation he's probably more tied to the real research going on than about anyone not at NIH and CDC or a pharma company, and he's not tied to just the medical side so he sees the bigger picture.
There are real costs to lockdowns and shutdowns etc. Sure it slows the spread of the virus, but it also leads to more cases of abuse, unreported and untreated medical problems, mental anguish and illness, suicide, etc.
These kids didn't learn a dang thing the last part of this past year, and I seriously doubt they will this entire school year. It's not like we're so far ahead in education that we can take a victory lap.
