[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To the anti-maskers in this thread: my five-year old son is immunocompromised and we would not feel safe having him school if there was no mask mandates before he's vaccinated.  Sometimes you have to stop thinking about yourself and what amounts to a minor inconvenience so my son can go to school and, you know, not get really sick from a horrible disease.[/quote]

"anti-maskers" is used as a pejorative (usually with "anti-vaxxer, as if the science is equal, which is not true whatsoever) to shut down debate.

It's not a minor inconvenience to young children to wear a mask 18 months into the pandemic. Kids have not been doing so in many countries in Europe throughout the pandemic.

Immunocompromised children did not start existing in March 2020. We should look at what was done with such kids during flu seasons, since COVID for kids has the same fatality rate as a regular flu season.  The burden should not be put on all other children for a disease with a similar mortality rate for children.[/quote]
