I’m much less offended by a “vaccine passport,” like what’s happening in NYC, than this bizarre obsession with masking children.

Vaccines have clearly worked. The data on masks overall is a bit dubious, due to a number of factors.

I’m fully vaccinated, and I’m generally fine wearing a mask when I go shopping or whatever. The issue is children.

The silver lining of Covid-19 is that for children, it really is “just the flu.”

I understand transmission, but it’s too much to expect 6-10 year-olds to wear masks properly, keep them clean, etc. More important, the psychological/developmental damage of masking at school is serious—and seems to not be taken seriously by the CDC making these recommendations.

Reportedly, we have almost fully vaccinated the elderly and most vulnerable, so the issue of transmission via children seems less relevant.

As the CDC itself says, this is a “pandemic of the unvaccinated.” To be honest, after all this, if an adult chooses not to be vaccinated, because of being a Fox News fan or just general lunatic, he has to face the consequences of his actions.

Endlessly masking children at school, in order to protect superstitious nut jobs, just seems cruel and unusual.
