1) According to the WHO and UNICEF, one of the deciding factors on whether or not children should wear a mask is:
The potential impact of wearing a mask on learning and psychosocial development,
in consultation with teachers, parents/caregivers and/or medical providers.

5) Leading causes of death in children aged 1-14 years (from the CDC):
Accidents (unintentional injuries)
Cancer
Intentional self-harm (suicide)
Congenital malformations, deformations and chromosomal abnormalities
Kids Have A Greater Chance Of Being Harmed By Flu Than COVID-19!
According to the CDC, among children the mortality risk from COVID-19 is actually lower than from the flu… but we’ve never mandated masks or distancing in prior flu seasons. We should not make them suffer through all of this nonsense anymore.
Over the course of the pandemic, 49,000 Americans under the age of 18 have died of all causes, according to the CDC. Only 331 of those deaths have been with a positive COVID test. In 2019, more than 2,000 American kids and teenagers died in car crashes; each year, according to some estimates, about a thousand die from drowning.
In 2020, fewer kids died of COVID-19 than of heart disease, “malignant neopolasms,” suicide, and homicide — not to mention birth defects, which killed hundreds of times more.
The risk of children is dramatically smaller still than that CDC baseline; according to one, much-cited paper, the infection fatality rate for those aged 5 to 9 is less than 0.001 percent.
An eye-opening report was recently highlighted in Nature. Among 900,000 in-school pupils learning in North Carolina last fall, researchers would have expected, based on local transmission rates, about 900 cases of COVID. There were, it turned out, only 23. In another study, among 20,000 Nebraska students attending school all year there were, in total, two cases.
Evidence suggests that serious versions of Covid will continue to be extremely rare in children.
As you can see here, some common activities — and several other diseases — have caused significantly more childhood deaths than Covid has:
Where there is risk, there must be choice!
Masks must be optional and not based on “vaccine status”
“Pro-vaccine and pro-science” family now regrets signing up their daughter for the clinical trial. “It feels like my heart is being ripped out of my neck.” She developed additional symptoms over the next few months including seizures, drastic change in vision, loss of feeling from the waist down, loss of bladder control plus many more challenges. She’s been to the ER 9 times in the last 5 months, for a total of two months in the hospital.
Even though the daughter was part of the clinical trial, the mother says Pfizer isn’t researching her case…
“She did the right thing trying to help everybody else and they’re not helping her”
Listen to their story below:
Stories like these are why these vaccines need to be a choice and should NOT
be used as the deciding factor on whether or not children need to wear a mask.
The Pfizer mRNA vaccine causes catastrophic side effects
The Pfizer mRNA vaccine causes catastrophic side effects, particularly heart inflammation (myocarditis and pericarditis) in young people. The CDC’s own analysis of “Myopericarditis following COVID-19 vaccination: Updates from the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS)” showed astonishing increases particularly in children ages 12-15, 16-17, and 18-24.

Scientific Studies
“Revisiting Pediatric COVID-19 Cases in Counties With and Without School Mask Requirements—United States, July 1—October 20 2021”
Study with a larger sample size compared to a similar CDC study finds “no significant relationship between mask mandates and [COVID] case rates” in United States schools.
“Sharing a household with children and risk of COVID-19: a study of over 300 000 adults living in healthcare worker households in Scotland”
A new study from Scotland has found, “There was no evidence that living with young children increased adults’ risk of COVID-19, including during the period after schools reopened.”
The study also noted the risk of COVID-19 hospitalization was reduced the more children present in the household.

“Prevalence of SARS-CoV-2 Infection in Children and Their Parents in Southwest Germany”
This SARS-CoV-2 prevalence study, which appears to be the largest focusing on children, concluded children don’t spread the virus. “Among the 4964 persons tested by RT-PCR, only 2 participants (0.04%), 1 child and the corresponding parent, tested positive for SARS-CoV-2 RNA”

“COVID-19 in children and the role of school settings in COVID-19 transmission”
The European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control released a paper that concludes: “Investigations of cases identified in school settings suggest that child to child transmission in schools is uncommon and not the primary cause of SARS-CoV-2 infection in children whose onset of infection coincides with the period during which they are attending school, particularly in preschools and primary schools.”
“Data and Policy to Guide Opening Schools Safely to Limit the Spread of SARS-CoV-2 Infection”
The CDC published a report that states: “…the type of rapid spread that was frequently observed in congregate living facilities or high-density worksites has not been reported in education settings in schools.”
“Open Schools, Covid-19, and Child and Teacher Morbidity in Sweden”
Hospital data from Sweden, where schools stayed open with no masks, shows C-19 caused no deaths in children – and teachers were 57% LESS likely to need intensive care for C-19 than other working adults. Yes, less likely.
“Masked education? The benefits and burdens of wearing face masks in schools during the current Corona pandemic”
There are disadvantages of masks: they can inhibit learning & communication in schools; if intervention not needed when case rates low – we should lift requirements & then people who want to mask can continue.
“Infectivity of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 in children compared with adults”
“We found that SARS-CoV-2 grew from pediatric samples less often than adult samples, and when the virus was successfully cultured, significantly less viable virus was present. These data, along with our local epidemiology, suggest that children do not appear to be the main drivers of SARS-CoV-2 transmission.”
“COVID-19 Mitigation Practices and COVID-19 Rates in Schools: Report on Data from Florida, New York and Massachusetts”
“Student COVID-19 rates do not appear to vary with mask mandates. Across all three states, in both unadjusted means and coefficient estimates, a higher in-person student density is consistently associated with equal or lower school case rates among students.”

“Experimental Assessment of Carbon Dioxide Content in Inhaled Air With or Without Face Masks in Healthy Children”
“Most of the complaints reported by children can be understood as consequences of elevated carbon dioxide levels in inhaled air. This is because of the dead-space volume of the masks, which collects exhaled carbon dioxide quickly after a short time. This carbon dioxide mixes with fresh air and elevates the carbon dioxide content of inhaled air under the mask, and this was more pronounced in this study for younger children.
This leads in turn to impairments attributable to hypercapnia. A recent review concluded that there was ample evidence for adverse effects of wearing such masks. We suggest that decision-makers weigh the hard evidence produced by these experimental measurements accordingly, which suggest that children should not be forced to wear face masks.“

“Emergency Department Visits for Suspected Suicide Attempts Among Persons Aged 12–25 Years Before and During the COVID-19 Pandemic — United States, January 2019–May 2021”
Suicide attempts among US adolescents increased 31% during the COVID-19 pandemic and over 50% for girls, according to a new CDC report.
1 in 4 young adults contemplated suicide during the pandemic.
“Deaths in Children and Young People in England following SARS-CoV-2 infection during the first pandemic year: a national study using linked mandatory child death reporting data”
99.995% of the 469,982 children…survived “SARS-CoV-2 is very rarely fatal in CYP (Children & Young People), even among those with underlying comorbidities.”
Deaths were over-reported… “There were fewer deaths among children due to the virus than initially suspected.”
“Schools Closures During the COVID-19 Pandemic
A Catastrophic Global Situation”
The Pediatric Infectious Disease Journal: “…early in the pandemic, the international community realized that COVID-19 infection represented a significantly lower risk for children than adults, and that children seemed less important vectors for SARS-CoV-2 transmission than for previous respiratory virus pandemics. A growing body of evidence subsequently showed that children were not super spreaders, and it became clearer than the harms related to school closures outweighed the benefits. Unfortunately, the global decision to get back to school did not mirror the rapid decision to close them. Whereas school closures was almost a unanimous step, its reversal was not, and millions of children are still not attending their optimal learning environment.”
“Covid-19 In Primary Schools: No Significant Transmission Among Children Or From Students To Teachers”
“…children did not spread the infection to other students or to teachers or other staff at the schools. The results were published online on pasteur.fr on June 23, 2020. The results were then published on April 15th, 2021 on Eurosurveillance.”
“Adjudicating Reasons for Hospitalization Reveals That Severe Illness From COVID-19 in Children Is Rare”
“…these studies underscore the importance of clearly distinguishing between children hospitalized with SARS-CoV-2 found on universal testing versus those hospitalized for COVID-19 disease. Both demonstrate that reported hospitalization rates greatly overestimate the true burden of COVID-19 disease in children. Via these studies, parents and policy makers should be reassured that pediatric hospitalization for severe COVID-19 disease is indeed rare.”

“Risk factors for intensive care admission and death amongst children and young people admitted to hospital with COVID-19 and PIMS-TS in England during the first pandemic year”
A study led by Professor Russell Viner of UCL Great Ormond Street Institute of Child Health, published on the medRxiv server, found that 251 young people aged under 18 in England were admitted to intensive care with Covid-19 during the first year of the pandemic (until the end of February 2021).
The results of the study found that there were 5,830 admissions associated with Covid-19 among children up to 17 years of age during the pandemic year, this represents just 1.3% of secondary care admissions among children.
The lead author of the study said: “These new studies show that the risks of severe illness or death from SARS-CoV-2 are extremely low in children and young people”.

“Association between School Mask Mandates and SARS-CoV-2 Student Infections: Evidence from a Natural Experiment of Neighboring K-12 Districts in North Dakota”
The final analysis from the adjacent Fargo, ND K-12 districts, both with~12,000 students, is now available.
The researchers observed no significant difference in covid case rates while the districts had differing OR the same mask policies.
“COVID-19 Deaths in Children and Young People: Active Prospective National Surveillance, March 2020 to December 2021, England”
20 healthy English children and teenagers died of Covid during the first two years of the epidemic – fewer than one a month. England has more than 13 million people under 20.
“Overall, our study confirms the very low risk of death due to SARS-CoV-2 in CYP [children and young people], irrespective of variant,” the researchers wrote.
Did You Know?
Interfering with a child’s breathing is considered physical abuse and maltreatment in the State of Minnesota (MN Statute 626.556).
Teachers are MANDATED REPORTERS, meaning they are legally required to report such abuse, not inflict it.
According to MN State Law, it’s a MISDEMEANOR to conceal your identity in Public and it’s MALTREATMENT/ABUSE to interfere with a child’s breathing.
WHY are parents allowing Educators to commit criminal acts and abuse their children? Mask policies are 100% ILLEGAL in MN!
