It's amazing we made children as young as 2 wear a mask that has no evidence of benefit for prolonged periods of time, inflicting harm without upside.
Total policy failure, I wrote about it for the Atlantic months ago and MedPage before that

The fact nearly no one would say that the AAP and CDC were off their rocker to defy the World Health Organization and UNICEF to push this foolish recommendation down to 2 will be a shameful blemish on their reputations, I doubt they will recover in next 25 yrs.
Data from Spain, of regression discontinuity design, showed it did not work months ago. Sadly CDC pushed embarrassingly flawed studies in MMWR to defend their failed policy instead.

Don't forget the 2-4 year olds took the mask off to nap for 2 hours a day in the same room, so even someone with minimal training in evidence appraisal could recognize it was pointless.
