[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]People who think kids should continue to mask because that *feels* safer, despite contradicting all the advice from experts, are not really any different from all those people in Florida who refused to ever wear masks because freedom.

Either way, personal are substituting their own feelings for sound medical advice. [/quote]

Yep. Just as embarrassing and anti-science.[/quote]

Oh FFS. You have no clue what the actual, applicable data says. Many, many leading experts have criticized the CDC and its guidance, and recommended continued masking:

Even the American Medical Association said the new isolation quarantine guidance was confusing and risked further spreading covid, and just last month urged continued masking.[/quote]

You are welcome to listen to these people and continue to mask so you can protect yourself.  I will continue to not mask since I am vaccinated and just had COVID.  I think it's insane that my vaccinated kid who also just had covid has to mask at school.  No one is trying to stop people from masking, but may of us want the option to remove them because we feel like there is enough evidence to support it.  Our charter will be the last place in America to drop masks.[/quote]

When your child had covid, they easily could have spread it to other kids.  Saying you are vaccinated helps with your child health, not others.  Clearly being vaccinated alone isn't enough or your child would not have gotten covid.  [/quote]

NP. So mask your kid. What’s the problem?[/quote]
