[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So none of you have any studies AT ALL to back up the BS you are spewing about masks being harmful.  Got it.

Many many many [b]many children had speech issues prior to the pandemic (including my own, diagnosed years before the pandemic)[/b].  I get that you would like to blame your kids' speech issues on masks, but that's not the reason your kid needs speech therapy.  [/quote]

So what you are saying is that your chid was diagnosed and treated for speech issues during a time when no one in school wore masks and there was no issue with your child getting speech therapy from an unmasked therapist? And now your child is older and "doesn't mind" wearing a mask, so you feel like you can tell parents whose kids were diagnosed with speech issues during the pandemic, and now have to fight (often unsuccessfully) to get unmasked speech therapy that they can't complain? And you feel confident that masks have NO IMPACT on speech issues?

There is no study that says masking for 2+ years is fine for young kids. There is also no study that says it harms them. That's because WE ARE THE STUDY. You are fortunate that your kid is too old to part of this grand experiment in masking children under the age of 6 for years at a time and seeing how it impacts them. Your child got to go to preschool and kindergarten and likely 1st grade without a mask, got to attend speech therapy without a mask, etc. How wonderful for your child. How dare you tell me that I can't want that for my own child, especially when there is dwindling evidence that mask usage in this age group does anything to protect anyone.[/quote]
