by Guy Gin A new systematic review has been published in Archives of Disease in Childhood, one of the journals of the British Medical Journal, by Sandlund et al. titled ‘Child mask mandates for COVID-19: a systematic review‘. Since no randomised controlled trials have even been conducted on child mask-wearing or mask mandates, the authors systematically reviewed observational studies and included 22 in the final analysis: six found child mask mandates were associated with lower rates of infection; the other 16 didn’t.
As an older adult with my school years way behind me, I have to say that I have learned so much during COVID regarding how to read and interpret and evaluate studies. This is such useful information. I surely hope these skills are being taught to today's students. /s
I wish this had also included the effects of adult mask mandates on children (not just child mask mandates). During the worst of it, when I was surrounded by a sea of masks and curiously found that I was disturbed that I could not interpret people's expressions at all, I turned in desperation to watching videos of people behaving normally -- to save my sanity and psychological wellbeing.
Our local hospital has returned to mandated masking of all visitors, patients and staff. What is wrong with these medical experts, that they still believe in masking? This system has got to go, but if you need hospital care, it is very challenging to "not comply."
Precisely my observation. As I would not submit to someone else's religious head/face covering, why this? I was HORRIFIED to see Christian churches enforcing this superstitious rite.
It is only about three years too late for this pro ouncement. Instead they preferred to torture children and adults alike with the stupid “ risk abatement” strategies.
Three years ago all the mask studies from previous years had shown them to be at best useless and at worst deadly for many people during a bout of flu or the cold. They knew this, Fauci knew this, this was premeditated mass murder on their part.
They also forgot to mention that masks can cause lung infections, and even brain infections...Doctors here in AZ have warned people about the health risks of wearing masks for long periods of time....

Feel free to print it out and distribute to hospital decision makers.
Best of luck ~~ j ~~
Masks wearing was one of the first signs that bad science was in play. It made no sense:

It only made sense to me as a ritual symbol of fear, humiliation, submission and silence.

I WAS RIGHT, and the Elders of That Church who will remain un-named can read this and weep.
MASKING CHILDREN, and BEING MASKED AROUND THEM IS #CHILDABUSE. Let's just include that it is also #ELDERABUSE.

I have yet to receive an apology or an Acknowledgment from family members who denigrated me for my science based approach to covid.
Eugenics. Many members of congress had mandates waived.
All of Congress, the White House staff, CDC, the FDA, Pfizer employees etc were not required to get the COvid “vaccine”!
They also forgot to mention that masks can cause lung infections, and even brain infections...Doctors here in AZ have warned people about the health risks of wearing masks for long periods of time....
I'll bet those in charge in the next life can't wait top get their claws into Fauci.
