  1. Long Over Due To Get Rid Of ALL mask wearing EVERYWHERE!!!… EVEN MORE SO For ALL Children EVERYWHERE!!!…

  2. Masking children is child abuse. There will be long-term developmental and social problems for these kids because of this.

  3. 2 weeks became two years. It’s over. We need to try normal again so kids can have a bit of a normal childhood

    1. @Jay Ray Yes only conservatives not anyone else. Forget about the all celebrities and politicians who were caught not wearing masks or social distancing.

    2. @I Eat Crayons any chance you have videos of the celebrities harassing and abusing frontline/minimum wage workers? I have tons of conservatives doing that.

    1. Some say kids getting
      covid is low .
      Those also say who cares that some die. As long as their kids are ” free”, who cares.

    2. @Polentaccio i am working in hospital ,they don’t care anymore they are mixing Covid patients with no Covid. They don’t even put the signs at the door if patients are positive or not. I walk in in 2 rooms where was Covid patients not knowing because they didn’t put the signs

  4. Some parents want everyone to wear masks forever! Fantastic – send your kids with N95 masks – that way their mask protects them. But there are negative consequences to kids wearing masks and I bet most parents are happy for their kids to go to school without them!

  5. Maybe these parents should do the research on long term mask wearing and its effects on human health and children is just a deadly combo and it makes me sick !!!!!

    1. Yah that’s why doctors and nurses are sick all the time! And most of them only live till they are 90.

  6. Atleast we will be able to single out the kids who have crazy parents and get them the much needed help they deserve!

  7. When I was a child…going to school was tough sometimes. I can only imagine 2 years of being in the same room as my friends and not being able to see them smile…😥 Please let’s make it free choice again. Kids are least likely to have major issues getting sick anyway.

  8. Well is it science or not…now you don’t wanna follow the science I don’t get it sounds like you are just scared

  9. When I was a child…going to school was tough sometimes. I can only imagine 2 years of being in the same room as my friends and not being able to see them smile…😥 Please let’s make it free choice again. Kids are least likely to have major issues getting sick anyway.

  10. If they want to wear a mask let them. But don’t let the force others due to their unjustified fears.

  11. Now it will create a division among kids. And possibly creating bullying and peer pressure towards those who want to wear mask

  12. When I was a child…going to school was tough sometimes. I can only imagine 2 years of being in the same room as my friends and not being able to see them smile…😥 Please let’s make it free choice again. Kids are least likely to have major issues getting sick anyway.
