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

NEWSFLASH!!!

Countries with (leftist) universal healthcare have better health outcomes than countries without. I know, it's weird.

 

I am having trouble seeing any discussion about mask wearing in this study...

 

Many already agree with 5 and younger.

The article said post omicron surge. Many here already agree to that. Seem sensible.

What most of us don't think is sensible is - masking is child abuse. History don't agree with you either on that.

 

I don't think a 2 years old would keep a mask on. There is also a real danger that 2 years can't communicate and tell adult the mask is causing a problem. So absolutely doesn't make any sense for a 2 years old (but like I said, many already agree and I'm one of them, that under 5 doesn't make sense).

For older kids, it's just a mask. Not a big deal.

 

This is a different topic and I wouldn't mind seeing a thread on this (surprise there hasn't been one yet). It's definitely an issue but not so clear cut as most people think it is. Here is one quick thing to think of - is it the lockdown? fear of covid itself? suffering from covid itself? job loss of caretaker? A simple correlation between lockdown and mental health is cool and all but not nearly good enough. There is now quite a bit of data where you can break this down a bit more.

 

That doesn't make sense to me. Planes have great ventilation system to 'suck out the darn covid virus' and these younger kids aren't next to other people - they are next to their caretaker so the risk of direct person-to-person exposure is from younger kids are very low.

 

I was mainly referring to a report that I thought I read saying we don't have the logistics to vaccinate the entire population with boosters every 6 months. That could be outdated.

I am triple vaxxed, and will take the 4th booster if recommended by the CDC to note. I'm definitely not anti-vaxx, anti-mask. Just don't think open-ended mask mandates make sense either.

 

That chart diverges when Sweden started vaccinations and they are over 90% vaccinated. I don't know what your point is. And Swedes were encouraged to social distance, it was just not mandated. Plus, they pretty much hate human contact

 

lol

 

How about we compare Sweeden to their more geographically and demographically similar counterparts. The only difference is they had mask mandates and didn't rely on "herd immunity".

Even if you want to compare the US w/ Sweeden, Sweeden still had a much higher vaccination rate which that alone explains the difference in mortality rate.

 

Also one of the problems with the US was that even during the first two waves many states and localities didn't have mask mandates. There never was a nationwide US mask mandate so if the claim is that countries Scandinavian countries had less masking than the US that might be true for some states but not for the whole US.

 

I never said that. You interpreted it that way by your own choice. You know that is not even remotely true.
