Masks don't adversely affect children's ability to learn, their development, or their physical health (but viruses can). Masks don't adversely affect children's immune systems (but #COVID19 can). The health
and safety of children should be our priority. #BringBackMasks #WeNotMe

Part 2: Masks don’t adversely affect mental health. (But #LongCovid affects mood, and infants in the ICU with RSV and toddlers dying of influenza affect mood). Masks don’t promote bullying. (Except for anti-maskers harassing others for doing what’s right). Health & safety matter.

@nilikm my husband is an anti-masker, antivaxxer. Which is ultimately ending up with our divorce because we can't come to an agreement on this.1 I have three vaccines and I still wear two masks. I know influenza's at an all-time high I work from home and I've been isolating I haven't seen my friends or family in 3 years which isn't healthy either.. so there has to be some sort of balance and I'm still trying to figure that one out myself 😱
