Class Is In Session: Dr. Phil Schools The View On Covid Classroom Shutdowns

With all that has happened in 2023 and just a couple of months in 2024, it is easy to forget how much our society was damaged during the COVID pandemic and how many people need to be held accountable for the lies America was told and all of the draconian, unconstitutional measures that were taken, like lockdowns and vaccine mandates. Some people are probably very happy that many people seem to have moved on from COVID. So, we are grateful whenever someone takes a national stage to remind everyone that, no, we have not forgotten and, yes, there needs to be accountability so no one will ever try this again. Earlier this week, that someone was Dr. Phil McGraw, who went on The View to lecture the show's brain trust on how much damage was done to children during COVID by locking them out of schools. (Randi Weingarten's ears must have been burning.)

'The View' hosts stunned after Dr. Phil says covid lockdowns were pointless for children and the damage they caused are way worse than covid itself. 🔥🔥🔥 "When they shut it down, they stopped the mandated reporters from being able to see children that were being abused and sexually molested, and in fact sent them home and abandoned them to their abusers." - "They suffered and will suffer more from the mismanagement of covid than they will from the exposure to covid. And that's not an opinion. That's a fact." Glad someone is educating these clowns. -- “When they shut it down, they stopped the mandated reporters from being able to see children that were being abused and s*xually molested, and in fact sent them home and abandoned them to their abusers." "They suffered and will suffer more from the mismanagement of cov*d than they will from the exposure to cov*d. And that's not an opinion. That's a fact.”

Of course, The View hosts -- ever bending the knee to the powers that be (assuming those powers are Democrats, that is) -- respond with the familiar protestation, 'But we were trying to SAVE LIVES.' McGraw shuts that excuse down as well. Because not just now, but even during COVID, most people understood that children were at extremely low risk from the virus. And, even if we take the generous view that Whoopi Goldberg wants us to, the excuse of 'trying to save lives' does not above anyone from the lives they destroyed. Many people were quick to thank McGraw for refusing to excuse all of the COVID mismanagement. Even a Presidential candidate. -- Robert F. Kennedy Jr @RobertKennedyJr: “Thank you Dr. Phil. An entire generation was set back by COVID mismanagement. Our kids suffered and will continue to reap the consequences. I’ve yet to see any accountability for those in power.” -- Not a surprising comment from Kennedy, but a needed one.

I can’t see this video enough in my feed. The tide is turning. We think the tide HAS turned already. But it won't mean anything unless people are held accountable. Whoopie went to commercial break real fast. Dr. Phil helped us understand these women live in a bubble of rich New Yorkers, and have no idea with the majority of Americans are dealing with. We can only imagine the panicked voice of the producer in Goldberg's ear as McGraw was schooling all of them, 'Cut to break. CUT TO BREAK.' That’s it. U will never ever see Dr Phil on the View again. Whoopi probably ripped the producers for putting him in without vetting him. It will be very interesting to see if he gets invited back. We wouldn't be surprised if Goldberg has labeled him 'persona non grata' going forward.
