[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I dunno, PP just above you, ostensibly on your side, is up there professing that masks don't work and shouldn't be required.  So who's spreading disinformation, exactly?[/quote]

It's okay to have civil discussions about the effectiveness of masks--it's really not black and white. Just like covid itself, research is always changing. I personally believe that masks work, and so does APS. That being said, I don't think there is anything wrong with questioning how long children will need to wear masks when covid becomes endemic. We need to have these discussions and appreciate that science is not always clear.

That is very different from adults who are actually ripping masks of teachers, refusing to wear them indoors, or, even worse, the politicans who are legally preventing businesses from requiring masks. [/quote]

Thankyou for this.  The stridency with which people approach mitigation measures is so off putting.  I am willing to wear a mask if there is a benefit.  I am inclined to believe there is a benefit.  But there is also a real cost.  So much communication is non verbal which is lost through masking. (As just one example). I need to know that there is a benefit with an acknowledgment of costs.  Not just be mocked as a ‘ you just want everyone get to covid, etc’[/quote]
