It’s scary stuff. We’ve officially hit the era of the internet where most people are comfortable enough to use it yet don’t have the required perspectives to correctly process the information they come across.

Just wave the white flag already you dumbass. Just stop.
I read a story about a mom who had her children removed from her at the beginning of the pandemic because she did a similar thing. She was an "essential worker" and her apartment was, naturally, very far from her work--she had multiple jobs that were close to each other but not to her house. Her kids would normally go to school/day care, but with everything closed, she could only secure child care part time, so she ended up stashing her kids in her car and going back and checking on them hourly. But this was never going to be sustainable and eventually, someone called the cops on her and they put her kids in foster care. In the article, I read how she was fighting to get her kids back.
Interesting as neither NC or MA have any laws against it.
If someone believes your child to be at risk, they can call the police for any reason. The police either take the kids with them, or if the parent is there, they will write up the incident and pass it to DCSF. DCFS doesn't need a law to remove your child. The burden is on you to get your child(ren) back. It usually takes 6 to 12 months for a parent's rights to be reinstated. The parent doesn't have to be breaking the law, and these programs are rarely scrutinized since they are doing "what's best for the kids"--except when you remove children from loving parents who are having issues affording things like housing and child care. These programs get extra federal funding when they have children in their system, so they make sure to take their sweet time reuniting parents and kids because they lose funding once they child is placed back with the parent.
Honestly, it's about damn time. I can't remember what station my wife had on, but they were talking to some guest about this and I heard "Those of us who have been vaccinated and wearing masks for others have pretty much had enough"................I couldn't agree more.
We also got mandated to get vaccinated.
My company won't mandate it, but about 2/3 of us have it and we're pretty much capped at that. We also had at least 12 people in the company get it over the past 1 1/2 years, with two of them being very sick. But wow, just the announcement has the anti-vaxxers here so upset. I just overheard an argument with one guy saying 'there is NO PROOF the vaccine does ANYTHING!'
I've heard similar arguments. I guess the fact that 90-95% of those hospitalized are unvaccinated means the vaccine is doing nothing? But they just tell you that that's not true and most of those hospitalized are vaccinated, with nothing to back it up.
Yep, that's where the stalemate happens. "Most of the hospitalizations are unvaccinated" is countered with "No, I know a nurse and she says that's not true."
There were a few outlying reports from somewhere in Europe,. I forget exactly what country, that had a high vaccination rate so most of the hospitalized were vaccinated but the actual number of hospitalizations was miniscule compared to the US. These are the kinds of reports they hang their hat on but lack the critical thinking skills to look ask why.
