There’s exactly ZERO medical evidence for forcing toddlers to mask up. ZERO.

In fact it can be harmful, due to insufficient oxygen.[/quote]

Well, no, not that reason. But WHO specifically says kids 5 and under should not be required to mask.[/quote]

Actually, that's not completely correct:

In general, children aged 5 years and under do not need to wear masks.[b] However, there may be times when caregivers will choose to put a mask on a child – for example, if the child has contact with a person who is at a high risk of developing severe disease or is around someone who is ill.[/b] Children of this age should not wear masks for a long duration or without supervision.

You don't know if another adult or child has serious health issues in that school or classroom.

It doesn't say that your toddler should mask if my toddler is close to someone with health issues. In that case, it's my responsibility to take precautions for my child.

Being exposed to typical germs -- in this case, a runny nose -- is how toddlers build their immune systems. Plus, many viruses aren't airborn and hand washing is more important.[/quote]
That’s actually not true. The last paragraph is incorrect. I’m sorry. Many viruses are airborne, and [b]immune systems don’t need to be “built”[/b], they simply ARE. Viruses bring damage, sometimes lasting, to us. [/quote]

Someone skipped immunology class.  It's called adaptive immunity or the acquired immune system.[/quote]

LOL... funny what people convince them selves of-- https://publichealth.jhu.edu/2022/is-the-hygiene-hypothesis-true

getting sick doesn't build your immune system-- have you not noticed that everyone seems to have pneumonia at the moment? guess what it's linked to previous covid infections! COVID-19 participants also self-reported more bacterial, influenza and mycoplasma infections, and 8%–10% of patients felt SARS-CoV-2-induced chronic diseases.  My masking 2 year old who avoids day care thanks to all of you sending in your sick kids has had two mild colds in her whole life and never had a temperature above 100.4...childhood sickness isn't inevitable[/quote]
