I had to put a title on this blog entry. The stupidity or mendacity that was the Covid overreaction has raised its ugly head again.
A student in my grade eleven class got the chicken pox. Parents panicked and their children got chicken pox vaccines. Stupid as that was, the powers that be at my school got even stupider.
