Mask mandates for children may be causing them more harm than good.


A Flash Brief from the Gingrich 360 team: 

City Journal has found that the CDC’s mask mandates for children may be causing them more harm than good. There is a psychological toll on children wearing masks, as masks convince children they are in imminent danger at all times, even though they face a significantly diminished risk of infection than adults.

Researchers in Germany have also found that wearing masks for long periods of time has caused children to experience headaches, fatigues, and overall unhappiness. Children are being ostracized from their peers and forced to wear masks, all to stay safe from a virus that doesn’t even seriously affect their health.

Learn more about the dangers masks pose to children’s health in John Tierney’s article “Masking Children is Unnecessary-and Harmful.”
