    So I did my own research...

    "Can kids be harmed wearing masks to protect against COVID?

    No, there is no scientific evidence showing masks cause harm to kids’ health despite baseless claims suggesting otherwise."

    • Some would say that's fake news. You should just follow the lead of a random user on QBN. That's your safest bet.dbloc
    • My own research: https://getyarn.io/y…nb
    • I love the fact that you link to an article that has ZERO Links to any studies and yet the article claims "scientific evidence."pr2
    • i can't believe you need fucking study to know that a wet cloth is a breathing ground for pathogens, but here it is (one among many): https://pubmed.ncbi.…pr2
    • there many many of thus studies, but i'm too lazy to link you to all. fucking unbelievable that something this obvious needs to be explained.pr2
    • its true, the AP and the Mayo clinic are bastions for partisan disinformation. Also, your rebuttal link is broken.robotinc
    • just nose breath (vs mouth breathing) inside the mask. and take mask breaks during the day.uan
    • https://pubmed.ncbi.…pr2
    • yeah, lets all get together and tell kid show to breath - that will work out very well indeed.pr2
    • Hey moron. The pathogens in the mask are from the kid wearing them. Derp.monospaced
    • Indoors? Use an N95/FFP2. General use, a cloth mask is better than nothing eg outdoors amongst others. Germany is smart in requiring FFP2 in shops etcBaskerviIle
    • Anecdotal: I've worn a cloth mask when out running 10km every day for the past year and a half. No covid, no other illnesses. Ergo masks do not make you sick.BaskerviIle
    • A typical dimwit's way of thinking: "my anecdotal experience is better than your rigorous peer-reviewed study."pr2
    • A typical moron's thinking: "Masks work only one way, what goes out is trapped NEVER what comes in."pr2
    • If i had an ounce of hope for you guys i would actually look up more of those studies (some with thousands of participants), but why bother?pr2
    • Think about it this way, you're a very small minority against a global community of highly experienced scientists. You're also arguing on a design board. Why?BaskerviIle
    • You cherrypicking from your pubmed searches does nothing to bolster your fringe arguments. Systematic reviews and meta analysis from Cochrane please.BaskerviIle
    • Dumb as a box of hammers.utopian
    • Bask, EVERY doctor and scientist i speak to is scratching his/hear head that fundamental concepts that were known for ages are thrown out the window.pr2
    • The avalanche of the status quo can't be stopped and so a vast majority of those "highly experienced scientists" who are in my camp choose to stay silent.pr2
    • That's why u assume "a very small minority."pr2
    • Ugh.maquito
    • Did you speak to these doctors and scientists on Facebook? And Reddit?pango
    • agree with pr2 here (I say while wearing a mask on the train) I'm not sure how many countries outside the US still advise this. not in the UK since May...kingsteven
    • Even then it was just in communal areas, not classrooms. Masks are for protecting others and cloth masks are not effective when dampkingsteven
    • Of course, if there was more trust in vaccines and less hysteria about masks in general in the US from folks like pr2 it wouldn't be so politicisedkingsteven
    • and harmful is a bit of a jump from less effective tbh haha, I don't even like kids and I think them wearing masks is excessivekingsteven
