Forcing children to wear a mask is child abuse. The Left failed children.

    I was going along with you until you said "logistics". Logistically, it's very doable and getting better.

    btw, the "child abuse" would be largely eliminated if everybody simply got vaxed. It's like saying I both refuse to wear seat belts AND I want to eliminate speed limits. If you want to eliminate masks, it would help your credibility a lot if you were vaxed.

    Anybody who frames ANYTHING in a " Commie Left vs. Right" or "Snowflake Liberals vs Conservatives" light gets an auto-ignore from me. **** your bullshit rhetoric, and fact denial. Expecting people to give a **** about each other (yes, that includes 2-3 year olds) enough to wear a mask in public settings in not some "leftist" agenda, you paranoid ****s. It's basic human decency, and it's something we should be teaching our children from the time they're born.

    You are all on the wrong side of history.









    The WHO recommends against masking kids 5 or younger.

    There is literally no credible evidence that it makes any ******* difference, see here:

    https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2022/01/kids-masks-schools-weak-science/621133/

    Losing weight would reduce y'all's personal risk of dying of Covid a hell of a lot more than forcing children to wear a mask 8 hours a day and then claiming it's no big deal, or the kid would otherwise kill their parents.

    That's BS, and if you don't understand that, you are either an ******* or an idiot. Take your pick.

    A good start is to check the US Constitution that states that we should "promote the general Welfare". Just sayin' ;) We don't need to invent this stuff. It's already there.

    I can't figure out if the most ridiculous thing about this thread is the german maga bro language or the fact he was flying on a 'middle eastern' airline.

    Have you looked at the actual incidence in the countries with the highest vaccination rates?



    I am triple vaxxed and pro vax (voluntary, for adults, to protect against severe progression). Against vaccine passports or mandates, against lockdowns, against mask mandates (wear one if it makes you feel safer) and passionately against forcing them on children.

    And the opinion of someone who put himself into a higher risk group by becoming obese, but who then says that "it's no big deal" for small children to be forced to wear a mask for hours on end really holds very little weight (pun intended).

    We had kids in cages at the border.

    I think these kids will be alright.

    The public health risk isn't cases, it's that our hospitals are overloaded. Oh, and it's also that global supply chains are a wreck because too many people keep calling in sick. If everybody would get vaxed, this wouldn't be much of an issue.

    In the meantime, while we are amidst a wave, and by all accounts we ARE, then mask up. It's not that difficult. Really, it's not.

    Hospitals were never overloaded. Were they overloaded in South Africa, where they have lower vax rates, much less resources? Nope.

    It's a wave with Omicron, but hospitalization rates are now decoupled from incidence rates.

    It's not time to mask up.

    And if YOU want to wear 8 FFP3 masks on top of each other to protect yourself, you are free to do it.

    We haven't had it so far (as far as I know - I might have well had it in March 2020, won't ever know). Our children are now back in Kindergarten where there are new cases every day, so i assume we will get it soon, which is great, because I believe the natural immunity will be better than the short-lived immunity from the mRNA vaccines.

    I do not want to speak lightly of the loss and suffering this pandemic has caused to anyone here and their relatives.

    But we need to understand when the time has come to start going back to normal. That time is now, or it is very close.

    Dumb post of the day, with regards to the 2-3 year old part.

    False. Houston TMC dashboard has us currently at 97% ICU rate and that is DOWN from last week.



    One person wearing a mask doesn't help hospitals. As a matter of public policy, in America we don't rely on "personal freedoms". We "promote the general welfare".

    I'd be happy to have a conversation about what should the policy be now on children masking, but ATW keeps ******** on his own thread with these histrionic posts. Yeah, masking kids isn't ideal. Covid isn't ideal. But, we're playing with the hand we're dealt. Hysteria isn't useful.

    Is forcing children to wear pants also child abuse?

    Agreed.

    But calling it child abuse is being overly dramatic.

    The kids will be fine.

    Sometimes some of you guys need a bit more encouragement to question your bubble's narrative. If it takes a bit of exaggeration to make a point, so be it.

    It's time to unmask the children.
