  1. Why would you deprive children of inhaling fresh air. It affects their growing brains and affects them emotionally.

    1. @Rick You think genetics cares about your feelings? They don’t, they just exist. You can be born blind and you had no choice in it.

      So again, tell me about those that are born blind and how “developmentally delayed” they are.

    2. @Drewstein69 I don’t think I can explain such a simple concept to you any other way. If you don’t understand developmental delay then you either are too dumb or choosing not to understand.

    1. @ARK CON Wrong video troll. I’ve answered you in relevant videos and you run off. Stick to the subject “doctor” Google

  2. They jumped the shark with the school mask mandates. They mandated them even though there’s no scientific basis for children masking. They closed the schools anyway for almost two years. So even mask mandate proponents aren’t that confident in them.
    My kids were wearing wet cloths on their face in winter outside that became filthy within an hour of breathing and chewing on them.
    Gross and ridiculous.

    1. @Serena Pimentel there are plenty of studies on mask Google it and they make children’s masks. Why so mad bro lol 😆

    2. @skate metal Do you know what the real-world data shows? Mask mandates overwhelmingly correlate to HIGHER case counts, not lower. Whoops. The exact opposite outcome mask proponents claim should result.

      You should start looking up the data for yourself.

    3. @Mr. Imc “wrong. That is the school’s failure as they are acting as guardians.” Protecting Children’s safety is the #1 thing all schools should do, education is #2. If the kid is sick, they can’t learn. As the Court stated, it is the Public Health Officials job to determine what safety matters are necessary. Not sure when Danielle Smith got a degree in Health.

    4. @Tone I disagree that it’s a government agency’s job to tell you what to do about disease. I think healthcare should be a personal affair

    5. @Tone I went to the pet store to buy a guinea pig for my niece and accidentally brought home a 20ft python because I don’t have my degree in zoology. Next time I’ll have an expert there for when I need to make these types of decisions……

  3. Lucky Alberta -she is amazing and RIGHT! – it’s a crime to continue with these ridiculous mandates -get over it already

    1. Poor arsenal and Liz Liz, they still are suffering from COVID paranoid hypochondria, and still haven’t looked up the data for themselves.

    1. @Mom Tur said from a bubble in a basement with 2 masks on while lysol disinfecting the groceries you had delivered after thanking pharmaceutical companies for your 5th booster 🤣

    1. Neo Anderson you sound like one of those freedumbers. It’s freedumbers like you who say government officials are not experts. You’re no Neo Anderson from the matrix you’re like agent smith a freedumb conspiracy theorist.

  4. Masks should have been a personal choice since the start same with the vaccines Noone should be discriminated against for their personal health choices
