Irish Health Information and Quality Authority published report in March It informed the Irish government's decision not to mandate masks for under 12s
Study says masks inhibit communication learning and cause anxiety
Tucker Carlson last night drew attention to report, claiming that the US government had carried out no such research to inform its mask mandates
Making children wear masks in the classroom can stunt language skills and exacerbate anxiety, a health report commissioned by the Irish government has found.
The Health Information and Quality Authority's report published in March informed Dublin's decision not to mandate masks for children in elementary schools.
The HIQA paper noted that transmission of Covid was low in schools and that young children found it difficult to wear face coverings properly.
'The Irish government looked into it and decided there is no benefit. Kids in Ireland are not getting sick from COVID. They are not transmitting COVID either,' Carlson said.
'So in the end, based on the scientific research using the disappearing art of rational decision making, the Irish government refused to implement mask mandates in school.'
The report found that since the pandemic started 'the extent of transmission between children or onwards to households by children, has been low.'
It said that while masks for adults were associated with lower transmission of Covid-19, the data showed a reduction in mask efficacy among children 'which may, in part, be due to reduced ability to comply with face mask wearing.'
Furthermore, the paper went on to add that 'there is concern regarding the potential harms associated with face mask use, for example, anxiety or negative impacts on the development of communication and language skills, particularly for younger children.'

The Karens want them no matter what.
Because using a facemask to prevent the transmission of an airborne respiratory virus is like using chicken wire to keep out mosquitos.
These aren’t masks.
They’re muzzles.
After all, it's for the chiiiildren

Pray for God’s Mercy, Intervention and Justice. He alone is the Only Way out of this mess.
"B-b-but LONG COVID!!!"
God save us from the generation of adults who were forced to wear masks as children.

A good reason not to send the children to school. Homeschooling is legal in Ireland.
“the US government had carried out no such research”
Hey, Fauci has said he hopes it doesn’t have negative effects on children. Isn’t that good enough?
I wear a mask in public, but only to assuage the fears of those who are still under the mass media’s propaganda spell.
(We note that the majority of people do not wear masks outside anymore, except where coerced into doing it. But, some people are still afraid and still think that masking will protect them.)
“stunt language skills and inhibit communication learning”
Mmmpphh pfffrrr brrphhhrmph
Ya think?
Really??
I DON’T wear a mask in public, specifically to stoke the fears of those who are still under the mass media’s propaganda spell.
Top Upstate doctors plead with schools to require masks: Read their letter
Upstate Medical is part of the SUNY system. These docs work for the state.
Yes. Understood.
I guess it's too much to ask them to state their proof or provide references to research papers rather than to merely make that assertion.
Same. I don’t do it to stoke fears or to garner any sort of reaction. I just think masks are unnecessary and unsanitary so I don’t even own a mask.
Fortunately, the majority of people in my area don’t appear to embrace masking. I only see a few masked people here and there.
