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

I wonder if kids in elementary school would also burst into cheers if told they no longer couldn't play with matches and no longer needed to wear seatbelts? I reckon that's the nature of being a child...

 

The 'right' has lost any respect or right to call anyone snowflake

 

You are the one posting a video of grammar school kids cheering as justification in support of your crusade to increase health risks in school. But hey, you be you.

 

thanks for posting. this whole time I thought kids really liked wearing masks.

 

People protesting about law enforcement violence and structural criminal justice and wealth inequality issues that have accumulated for 200+ years are all outraged snowflakes.

People protesting having to wear a mask on their face are alpha patriotic Americans with true grit.

 

You know their certain facilities, like hospitals, work sites, or chemical leaks. People are automatically asked to wear mask or are given mask to wear, so nothing happens to them, right. That's not to punish them or take away their liberties. It's not hysterics, I think people just don't want thousands or millions of children to die from an illness that is quite capable of doing that.

People don't want to shutdown schools or youth functions for whatever reasons. So, safety precautions are taken, so they won't catch the virus.

I don't see anything with the harm in that. Do you believe a school, organization, medical provider, or etc should be liable for someone who catches Covid-19 and is hospitalized for an extended period of time or dies from the illness?

It's not an issue that needs to be political

 

You do know that kids (or anyone) can "not mind" wearing masks and also be really happy when they don't have to anymore.

Both things can be true.

 

Not hot enough to be this crazy on the hot/crazy scale.

 

So serious talk, no sarcasm.

Do you assert this as 100 absolute fact? Do you take the position that the overwhelming majority of the scientific and medical community believe that the benefit of mandate does not outweigh the negative effects? Or do you assert this as your personal opinion and that there is some difference of opinion within the scientific and medical community?

If the latter, fine, I find no quarrel with the characterization of what scientists and doctors think. If it’s anything else, it’s flat out wrong.

The entire problem is the idiotic outrage. School administrators are being asked to make difficult decisions. Some are doing better than others. Whoop dee do. It’s the idiot parents screaming outrage as if there was an easy answer … those parents and people are the problem.

People these days don’t understand what is true hardship. The pandemic is not WWII. It’s not genocide. It’s not running for your life as things blow up around you. It is not even life in the US after WWII. People are freaking out about being told to wear a mask. America has a cultural problem that has been exposed during this pandemic.

I will end with this final point. What did the best funded, most elite private schools do during Omicron? They have the most financial resources. They have parents who are at the top of the medical community. They have Covid advisory boards comprised of the top doctors in the world class Houston area medical center. Methodist hospital. MD Anderson. TX Childrens Hospital. And so on. Does anyone question the credentials of these people?

If not, let’s consider what those schools did.

Want to guess?

 

And let’s remember mask mandates are coming down as we’re seeing the number of new infections drop and as we’re learning more about how vaccines and prior infections can provide protection.

this shouldn’t be ideological. Yes there are trade offs with any public health campaign but given that this is still a very new disease in human histories it’s understandable that things are changing as we learn new stuff.

 

Great post.

Children dealing with the masks largely comes from the attitude their parents and families take. Parents that treat it like a tragedy will have children that think it is a tragedy and react differently than parents who acknowledge that it is for safety and consideration of others. Either way, there are almost know physical issues caused by wearing masks.

They are already moving to lessen mask restrictions as the numbers trend in favorable position. It isn't like they were created in a vacuum.

 

those ****ing kids are clearly Trumpthuglicans

 

Again, I don't think you know how pandemics work. From history, they can get out of control, pretty quickly, because viruses and bacterium can and do mutate, while some can build resistance against treatments or vaccines. You do understand how infectious diseases work, but our immune systems don't work, like that. There are precautions, people should take when we handle things in our lives. For example, we cook our meats, thoroughly because they are easier to chew, digest, and it kills most, if not all of the bacteria or parasites in the meat. We washed and sanitize our fruits and vegetables for the same reason. If you eat meat with bacteria or parasite in it, and don't get sick. That doesn't mean you gain immunity or your immune system has stronger tolerance for such things or creatures, by default. It may in some people, but not all people, especially with those with weaker immune systems (not even including people with auto-immune disease).

We don't have terminator level, like immune system, not yet, anyway. Diseases, like polio, rubella, and small pox were taken down alot, because of vaccines. But, a few of those older disease have made return, due to people not getting the vaccines for them.

If we go by the methodology that you used about diseases, we almost should've eliminate most STDs/STIs (because we have alot of sex, more exposure builds immunity), but many of them remain incurable and symptoms have gotten stronger, especially if people don't get medicine for them. That's why we are supposed to wear protection or get tested regularly.

 

Regarding my comment that this isn’t genocide etc, sure, I agree some folks have real issues and challenges. I would wager the vast majority of the outraged are just outraged for the sake of being outraged. It’s a sport to them.

as for the operative question about current mandates coming down … your comments about knowing top scientists, them not sharing the same opinion, we have a new situation. Ok, I guess I’ll take your word for it.

But you don’t have to take my word because it is fact — The top private schools in Houston do have Covid advisory boards comprised of the best pediatric doctors and scientists in Houston. They required elementary kids to mask during Omicron. They are have just gone mask optional expressly because all the data indicates Omicron is fading and the balancing of interests now indicates a change is appropriate. (@MojoMan I guess these folks are part of the cabal of evil Dems and they’re only really doing this for political gain).

Could they be wrong? Maybe
Are they by far the most qualified people to make these decisions? Absolutely
Is it ridiculous for me to presume that I can read stuff on the Internet or watch YouTube videos and think I know better? Yes.
If I have a different view, should I lose my sh-T and rant? Yeah, no. (Not directed at you, directed at the ranters).
