The Daily Caller reports that “The United States Capitol attending physician Dr. Brian P. Monahan said Sunday that masks will not be required inside the Capitol beginning Monday, just one day before President Joe Biden is set to deliver his State of the Union address.”
This one’s a little obvious even for me. #thescience has been politicized from the beginning. That soup brain president will stand up and declare some kind of victory over Covid-19. Not total victory because they may need it later to change how we vote again but enough of a victory to re-elect Slow Joe.
Never mind that children were stuck wearing masks for years while the elites laughed about it. Rules for thee, not for me.
The masks have hurt children. Let’s just take little ones.
Children learn language through auditory and visual cues and when a child, teacher, therapist or caregiver is masked those visual cues are missing. This will likely have a negative impact on language development and growth in children, never mind emotionally.
If a young child is delayed in their speech and language development we would clearly see this if children fail to meet communication milestones designed by the CDC such as the ability to understand language or say a certain amount of words.
Guess what just happened. After 2 decades, the CDC just updated their developmental milestones. Hmmm. Why now? They just lowered all the benchmarks for appropriate language development.
The CDC is now saying that the milestone for 30 months is 50 words as opposed to 50 words at 24 months. So now, a child won’t be referred for early intervention for another six months at a time when early intervention can make all the difference.
But please remember, it’s more important that these folks are covered politically than your children are educated and nurtured.
For parents who are home with their children this isn’t as big of a deal because presumably you’re not wearing your mask at home with your children. At least I hope not. But many parents are forced to work. Many parents are divorced. So these children are stuck in masked daycare all day every day.
We can’t let these parents know that their children are falling behind because of masks and because of the free pre-k. No. There will be few studies publicized exposing this. This will all be covered up. It’s more important that parents feel good about their decision to put their children into masked daycare rather than actually help the children.
