Elmbrook Partnered With Professor Now Suggesting “Pandemic Amnesty”
Elmbrook data sharing with Professor Emily Oster may have created incentives to maintain COVID protocols.
Superintendent Mark Hansen worked with Professor Emily Oster to share Elmbrook COVID data for her COVID dashboard.
Emily’s own tweets (shown below) show she was in favor of fear-based vaccine motivation, vaccine mandates, and vaccinating children despite being aware of their low risk of serious illness.
Now that it is acknowledged that the vaccines were never tested on preventing transmission, they do not prevent illness and can have serious, even fatal, side effects, Emily Oster is trying to walk away from her behavior and ask for amnesty.
How much did this relationship with Emily Oster affect Elmbrook’s actions? Community members at Board meetings since 2020 have brought up concerns including: negative effects of and mistreatment of students with COVID protocols, concerns about pushes for vaccination on staff and students, concerns about Elmbrook’s vaccine provider, and more. These all fell on deaf ears.
As a reminder, we previously shared that Elmbrook’s vaccine provider is on the Board at the Elmbrook Education Foundation, received awards from Elmbrook here and here, and settled a Medicare/Medicaid fraud lawsuit.
There are many rebuttals to Emily Oster’s suggestion of amnesty - we find this one to be notable.
