Parents and Kids Say No to Polis’ COVID Testing Scheme

Colorado Governor Jared Polis is spending taxpayer dollars searching for COVID cases among schoolchildren.

With a budget of $170 million, Colorado has instituted a “free” testing program for schoolchildren that actually pays kids to take COVID tests. Hey kids – never mind symptoms, do it for the cash!

The first jab of a swab up the nose earns the kid $25, and each subsequent test gets them $10. Polis was disappointed that he couldn’t shell out more cash due to apparent federal government restrictions on COVID pay-to-play. He lamented, “We thought if we were offering $30, $40, $50 we would have more, and we probably would. We would have more students, there’s no question. We wanted to offer more.”

Yet just like Polis’ vaccine lottery fell flat and didn’t convince anyone to take a COVID-19 “vaccine” who wasn’t already convinced, less than 1% of schoolchildren are taking payoffs to submit to COVID-19 testing. This indicates that the overwhelming majority of parents are no longer falling for the scare tactics, are tired of the constant COVID propaganda, and simply want their children to have a normal, natural school experience. Instead, some teachers are reportedly sealing masks onto kids’ faces with masking tape.

Schoolchildren face no statistical risk at all from COVID-19, with the disease not even registering on the list of causes of death for those under 18 years of age. Yet the Colorado government seems intent on dragging out the pandemic as long as possible – at least until the 2022 election.

COVID-19 and the multi-billion dollar vaccine/testing industry it has spawned is increasingly a cure looking for a disease, and more importantly to Democrat politicians a fiscal and political calamity of historic proportions in need of a continued cover-up.
