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

that was my first thought

 

"and pose no risk to others (2)" -- that's not what the referenced source says, if you actually read it.

It says: "At the current time, children do not appear to be super spreaders."

A "super spreader" is defined as: "an individual who is highly contagious and capable of transmitting a communicable disease to an unusually large number of uninfected individuals."

 

What a preposteriously stupid thing to say. Wow.

 

disagree

 

Well you and Dr. YOLO have fun spreading your germs.

 

There was nothing “preposterous “ about the statement; and yes, the long-term health of children is much much better the more they are exposed to germs throughout childhood

 

"Exposed" does not mean you don't take polite precautions like washing your hands and putting something over your nose and mouth if you are or think you are compromised.

Intentionally spreading germs is irresponsible as ****. Can't believe this is even a discussion we're having.

 

you could put kids in bubble wrap to keep them from getting cuts and bruises. Have at it if that’s how you roll

 

Do you work on a farm? Because that's one hell of a strawman you've got there.

 

I typically would agree with this, but the risks of long covid might mitigate some of these benefits. Fortunately, there are indications that long covid symptoms are less common for infected children than for adults. Still more to be learned here.

Well, there's this:

'Dirt Is Good': New Book Explores Why Kids Should Be Exposed To Germs : Shots - Health News : NPR

 

"With my new germ theory, humanity can finally leave its dark age and step into the light of a brave new world with medical science to minimize human suffering across the globe" --Louis Pasteur, 1861

"If you're sick don't worry just spread that shiiiiiiz cuz natural immunity brah" --Clutchfans BBS, 2022

****ing.

Clown.

World.

 

I expose my kids to plenty.

If my child is sick, I do not have them intentionally spread their germs because I'm not a ****ing sociopath.

 

We could have saved the world from germs if we just got all the children to roll around in smallpox.

 

don't understand the anger, but if venting at complete strangers on the internet somehow soothes you, I'm glad you have an outlet

 

That’s your response to be called out for a straw man, deflect the attack back?

 

If idiots want to go with “natural immunity” that’s their prerogative.

I just think health insurance companies should be able to deny paying for your care. Don’t get vaccinated, your choice but you are paying out of pocket for any care related to that decision.

I think once you make these “natural immunity” folks accountable financially, you’ll see a change.

 

Not that it's your business, but my infant daughter recently spent a week in the ICU and nearly died due to RSV.

So you and the CEO of Sickbook spouting this germ accelerationist nonsense does strike a very unfunny tone with me right now.

The bumps and bruises of everyday living are one thing, but knowingly exposing other people to illness and disease is not OK.
