No one wants their kid to get sick, but masking kids is not the answer. If it was, all kids would have been masked to prevent every illness - and of course, that is radical and would not be done. The reason masking of kids is even considered right now is because people have become numb due to Covid 19 and all of the restrictions - so many "followers" who refuse to research or think for themselves.

The government is not your friend. Free the kids.

MASKING/VACCINATING CHILDREN IS INSANE!


An important question would be, is there sufficient evidence confirming the wearing of masks by children in a school setting outweighs the harmful effects for these children. Considering children in K-12 grade have an almost zero percent chance of serious illness from the Covid virus, common sense would indicate forcing them to wear a mask in a school setting is an absurdity in addition to being reckless and cruel!

See Children's Risk Of Serious Illness From COVID-19 Is As Low As It Is For The Flu

May 25, 2021


"To date, out of more than 74 million children in the United States, there have been about 300 COVID-19 deaths and a few thousand serious illnesses. By comparison, the CDC registered 188 flu-related deaths in children during the 2019-2020 flu season."

"Sangamon County Circuit Judge Raylene Grischow on Friday granted a request from attorney Tom DeVore to temporarily halt the governor’s executive orders on masking and quarantining for schools, finding that the measures are beyond the governor’s authority and deprive students of due process."

i think you're going to start seeing democrats abandon their stupid mask craze in the coming weeks. it's all falling apart on them.

all they had to do was look at places like florida to figure it out, but they'd sooner die than credit republicans with a good idea.

there's not a shred of data that cloth masks give any protection from omicron anyway.

The covid flimflamming rope-a-dope con game has finally been exposed, and the rats are jumping ship in mass.
