[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Now she's pivoting to fearmongering. Masks will make your kids stupid! [/quote]

So the IQ study is questionable, but there are a lot of valid reasons why masks might be harmful to kids that are very difficult to study, and we will probably never have answers on. It's not fearmongering to say that children learn about emotions from looking at people's faces, and if they can't do that, they might not learn as well. It's not fearmongering to state that one of the strategies for treating speech delays is to point to your mouth while overarticulating to help the child understand how to say words, which is more difficult even with a clear mask. At the same time, over the past two years there has been zero effort to understand exactly how helpful masks on young children are in a child care setting when the children take the masks off half the day despite there being clear reasons why masking young children might be harmful.[/quote]

You're doing it again, Melanie. "So the study I linked is bogus. But it's not fearmongering to say that you're doing your children irreparable harm by not forcing the women who are paid minimum wage to expose themselves to the COVID you gave your child from your last CrossFit class. And it's not fearmongering to say that I never said the caregivers had to take off THEIR masks, I only said that the children would be irreparably harmed if the people caring for them didn't show their faces! I'm really just advocating for children not to wear masks. That's not fear mongering, I just don't want your children to have low iqs. For lots of reasons!"

Considering your education, I'd expect you to be better at this. [/quote]
