[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'll bite.  Except for stray cases of trying to help kids on the spectrum help recognize social cues, unmasking mostly helps yourself.  Whereas staying masked helps others.  Unmasking is mostly for one's own benefit, convenience, and personal comfort. I can't bear wearing a mask I have to feel normal again!  Whereas staying masked protects yourself, but also helps stop the spread to others who may be immunocompromised.

How have I misrepresented this?  In what way is staying masked actually more selfish than unmasking?[/quote]

Prior to covid, have you ever had a a cold, flu, or other respiratory virus? If the answer is yes, can you confidently say you have never killed anyone's grandma?  Further, let's assert that properly worn masks, especially high filtration masks, are effective - do you think most kids are properly wearing masks in school for hours on on end?  Let's stop with the moralizing of masks in schools.  If you want to protect people, get them high filtration masks, vaccinate them and address ventilation. [/quote]

No the real questions are - prior to 2020 - how many times did your kid wake up with a fever and runny nose and you dosed them with tylenol and sent them to school bc you just couldn’t have them stay home? How many times did your kid throw up in the evening but you sent them to school the next day bc even though they said they didn’t feel well you thought they looked fine? How many times did you send your kid to school coughing and sneezing and snot running out of their nose and told everyone “they just have little cold”? And how many times did you ever consider the immunocompromised child or teacher in your school or class?

The answer is NEVER. In fact the same sanctimommies and daddies going on and on about their kids will continue to wear masks bc they care and aren’t anti social are they EXACT SAME parents who would have been appalled, complained to the superintendent, the media, posted all over social media, if anyone at their child’s school even so much as hinted that their child should wear a mask to protect those people prior to 2020. They would be the absolute first to say NO! they have the problem so they should wear a mask. My kid should not be penalized.

So all of you going on and on about how much you care and how awesome you are are disgusting. You don’t care at all about any immunocompromised people and you never did. [/quote]
