[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It absolutely has to do with masking in infant rooms in daycare!  How could it not?  Our babies spent 8 hours a day not seeing mouths form words or expressions.

Yes, my toddler is being evaluated for speech delays.  I was told he’d be delayed and he is. [/quote]

+1.  Babies/toddlers imitate the people around them.  How can they imitate speech if they can't see someone's lips moving?[/quote]
Why isn’t every single baby currently in daycare delayed for speech then?[/quote]

This thread is literally going in circles. If the threshold for negative effects is that it has to negatively affect 100% of people, then by that logic we should never have cared about covid at all because the vast majority of people survive it. Right?[/quote]
Then you're saying that you don't know that masks definitively cause delays, right? In any case, are your babies in a masked caregiver setting 24/7?[/quote]

What are you, a fascist overlord? Parents have the right to determine what’s best for their children. After nearly two years of masks, there’s plenty of anecdotal and yes statistical data that should allow them that decision. Go back to ruling China or something. [/quote]
Keep your kids at home and look after them yourself if you’re that concerned, instead of farming them off on low-paid workers.[/quote]
