re: The Psychological Effects From A Masked Up Society

My thoughts on this are from the 32 years I spent in education.

So they can be dismissed immediately from a medical perspective, unless you teach at a med school?

According to studies

Would love to read that article. Please link. Otherwise your opinion is just that, an opinion not based on medical knowledge and thus not germane to the topic.

Masks are for the collective good which is a concept that we've abandoned over the last few years.

Gotta love the good ol' guilt trip angle. Never gets old. Your health is not my responsibility. Never has been, never will be.

It's a simple thing to wear a mask.

So is eating healthy and exercising. Where's the guilt trips for those easy-to-do things that protect the individual without having to rely on some nameless, faceless antagonist to blame your health outcomes on?

from a teaching standpoint I'd be much more concerned by the parent than the child

Both my kids make straight As and the school has requested to test them for being gifted multiple times. Their teachers tell us how helpful, courteous and responsible they are. I'm making sure my kids know how to act and the importance of manners / courtesy. You can lay your concerns about parenting at someone else's feet. There are tons of parents just like me and the wife.

BTW, I was browsing Reddit the other day and noticed some people getting it on and they were masked but not wearing a condom. Explain that one to me.

Wu Flu > Booty Flu, Obviously.

your link still doesn’t prove anything but further polarize COVID19. Which at this point is causing more harm. The fact is, that the ends do not justify the means in regards to masking children. Not for COVID19. And you can’t prove otherwise.

Nor does the article address any of the questions I’ve asked:
a) Is there any data proving that masking school aged children has slowed or stopped the transmission of COVID 19 in schools?
b) if masks are efficient as slowing or stopping communicable diseases between school aged children, why haven’t we used this safety measure to slow the spread of faaaar more dangerous communicable diseases to children, such as influenza and RSV?

Your article opens with:

I’m none of these. Read my posts in this thread. Ive actually referenced factual CDC data on the subject. You nor sicboy have. You’ve parroted silly talking points, easily blown apart by common sense questions. I’ve also said that any parent, teacher, or staff involved in schools afraid of COVID have had 9+ months to get a statistically safe, available, and free vaccine. Your mask at this point is nothing more than a physical virtue signaling accessory. And honestly it’s kind of gross you and sicboy want to force this pointless safety measure on children “for the collective good” without weighing the negatives and the actual data.

Also, I’m significantly more vaccinated than you in all likelihood due to international travel. I also already have my 2021 influenza vaccine and so does my family, because influenza is a risk to my young child.

So other than to attempt to label the posters in this thread and on this website, what does your article prove? nothing, thanks.

Fair point. That post is probably more accurate for the Poli Board. Definitely some spillage to this board, though.

Are you ever going to address any of the points raised by multiple people in this thread, or are you just going to continue to ignore them and spew shite everywhere?

The masks, well.

Probably isn't. I think thoughts like the OP and the rationale to force masks on kids are just emotional appeals in order to justify your own beliefs at this point.

I do, however, don't want my kids growing up in a society where mask wearing is considered normal, because well, that society just sucks.

Human communicate with their faces. We are already too impersonable as it is with so much communication coming from the internet, I don't see the appeal in removing another form of personal communication.

I also despise the idea of treating everyone like they are some threat to you.

Is something sucks the same as being harmful?
