Sending a sick child to school is not equivalent to not wearing a mask. Even pre-COVID, you should never go anywhere in public if you're sick. Drives me nuts people would consider doing that.

As for masking kids, it is not scientifically proven and the CDC's own study showed no statistical difference. That was discussed above already. 18+ months into the pandemic and my kids sure as he** don't mask except where required by law.

The day that a study shows masking kids works, I'll be the first to start doing it. I'm not masking little kids under 10 for a scientifically UNPROVEN method, especially when entire countries in Europe don't do so.

We were just in Europe this summer and didn't see any kids under 10 masking either, even in the airport.

Well, since masking is required at my child's school, and I am quite sure I don't know y'all personally, I really DGAF what you may or may not do elsewhere, since we are not socializing with you or near you or your kids.

Yes. This type of attitude is why the pandemic has been so bad. The sacrifice to just follow the advice of the scientific experts on this (wearing a mask) is so small but people just hem and haw and cite stray inconclusive data to avoid the minimal sacrifice.

Your kid wears one to school though, right?

Exactly.

CDC recommends masking (and vaccinating & screening).

The CDC's own study showed that masking kids in school was statistically not significant. Why don't they follow their own study? And young kids in many European countries don't mask.

Vaccinations are not equal to masking. Please do not say that. Some people are not getting vaccinated right now because they think a junky cloth mask protects them.

Wearing a mask 18 months +, especially for small kids learning socialization, is not "minimal sacrifice." If you want your kids to do that, go ahead. Your choice.

And I believe in vaccines. I want to tell the unvaccinated that vaccinations work. COVID is an endemic and not going away. Therefore, I am not wearing a mask. Good day.

Again, maybe you will be proven right (or not) but in the meantime, why it is so hard to just have your kids wear a mask?

We're 18+ months into this. My children need to see other kids' faces, adults' faces, social cues, etc. Wearing a mask is uncomfortable too.

Why don't you wear a face mask every day? It's not scientifically proven, but you should do it until proven that it doesn't work.
