MASK-WEARINGS DETRIMENTAL AFFECT ON CHILDREN

Absent in mainstream media coverage is the reporting of an open letter written by doctors in Belgium to the country’s top education official last week, calling on him to reverse his face-mask requirement at school due to its effect on the children’s well-being.
The Brussels Times reported that 70 doctors signed the letter to Ben Weyts, the country’s Education Minister, claiming that mask-wearing as a defense against contracting the coronavirus could be more harmful than good.
“Mandatory face masks in schools are a major threat to their development,” the letter read. “It ignores the essential needs of the growing child. The well-being of children and young people is highly dependent on emotional attachment to others.”
Kang Lee, Professor of Applied Psychology at the University of Toronto, told the New York Times last week there are three issues regarding mask-wearing that could become an issue for students under the age of 12.
The three issues include: the student could have a difficult time recognizing people, he/she may miss social cues from those they’re interacting with, and the child may develop issues with speech recognition.
“Masks are not a great thing for communication in young kids,” Dr. David Lewkowicz, a senior scientist at the Haskins Laboratories and the Yale Child Study Center, told the Times.
The Brussels Times article reported doctors have seen an uptick in children “with complaints due to the rules of conduct that have been imposed on them.”
These children reportedly have mentioned an increase in anxiety, sleeping issues, and “germaphobia,” where they have a fear of germs and a compulsion to keep washing their hands.
The doctors who signed the letter went further than just pointing out the development issues for children. They also questioned the wisdom of wearing masks in the first place.
“There is no large-scale evidence that wearing face masks in a non-professional environment has any positive effect on the spread of viruses, let alone general health,” the letter read, according to the report.
They said the only “sensible” action is to take students and teachers who are at the highest risk for infection and to isolate them.
TREND FORECAST: In just a few months, since the COVID War was launched on Chinese New Year 2020, human behavior has been radically altered. Children, just growing up and beginning to learn about life and hopefully becoming themselves, have now been put under full behavioral control.
From mask wearing, social distancing, hand washing, etc., living in fear has replaced “born to be free” in school and outside. Other than the Belgian doctors’ letter, absent in the media and politicians selling COVID Fear are the short- and long term mental and physical ramifications these rapidly made-up restrictions will have on society, young and old.
Again, this great divide will create a split between those who obey COVID Authorities and young people growing up who want to live as they humanly feel during their ages of transition. And, as we have noted, new art forms and political parties will evolve as the split between those who do what they are told and those who disobey widens.
