The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention last week stated 90% of Americans no longer need to wear face masks indoors, including in K-12 schools.
Yet through mandates or local guidance, young children — who face the lowest risk of COVID complications — are still being forced to mask for hours a day across the country, including in New York, California and DC and its suburbs, in some cases even outdoors.
In America’s great unmasking, 2- to 5-year-olds are excluded even as the harms from masking them continue to come to light.
...
Many places in Europe, including the United Kingdom, France, the Netherlands and all of Scandinavia, didn’t even mask elementary-school children, and there is no evidence of increased outbreaks or community spread. Our stringent masking policies haven’t led to our youngsters demonstrating better COVID health outcomes, either.
...
children have been the least affected by COVID but continue to face the most stringent restrictions.
...
the harm to preschool-age children is likely vast, ranging from speech delays to difficulty forging friendships. This age group more than any other heavily relies on nonverbal feedback for critical development, particularly emotional mimicry and social referencing.
Parents have heartbreaking stories of their young children’s mask experiences. Preschool teachers aren’t catching severe allergic reactions right away because they can’t see a child’s face to identify an early sign, redness of mouth. A child vomits in his mask only to be told to put on a new mask immediately. Asthma and hearing loss haven’t qualified for mask exemptions.
...
These experiences can have lasting effects. Children do not get a do-over of this critical time in development.
...
We must remove the masking guidance for all children in America and let kids have the childhood they deserve.

I posted an essay about this subject here almost 2 years ago.
And Like I said earlier today
One can hope Dr Fauci is a participant (test subject) in a very important sand fly experiment somewhere
Masks on kids is a question for parents and I don’t see enough of them refusing the muzzles.
afterall, you don’t want them to develop the self assured ignorance of moronials or gen Z
Can parents sure the dept of education? Teachers unions? Governors?
Can’t be any worse than the gunny sack dad put me in. Hard part was getting out after he threw me in it into the river.
Was he teaching you to be Harry Houdini? Left a mark?
