Nothing like totally ignoring the 1918 Spanish Flu pandemic and how masking led to more deaths from bacterial pneumonia. Their supreme leader, Dr Fauci, came to this conclusion in a paper he co-authored in 2008.

Good one Nicole.

Interesting. Do you have a link to that paper?

Thanks. The article pretty clearly states that bacterial pneumonia was the main culprit in 1918, but doesn’t mention masks. Is there a missing link article that connects mask usage with increased levels of bacterial pneumonia?

The fact that anyone still reads National Geographic after they put a transgender nine-year-old on their cover tells you all you need to know about how highly their readership value either science or ethics.

OMG I'm so sick of these morons. Here is the WHO telling us using 10 separate studies well before the scamdemic that masks MAKE NO DIFFERENCE. I easily found this document way back in Feb or March 2020 after 5 minutes of searching. Do these people have even an ounce of critical thinking?? NO. https://apps.who.int/iris/bitstream/handle/10665/329439/WHO-WHE-IHM-GIP-2019.1-eng.pdf

not to mention the hot sweaty mask environment is a happy place for viruses and bacteria and in particular fungi

It is a pseudo munchausen by proxy psyops. Many pediatric psychiatrists feed right into it. Follow the money 💰.

The irony will not fade. My mom took me to the base commander's house for a chicken pox party in 1982. Now my husband faces the loss of his 16+ year Active Duty Air Force career over covid vaccination. Why hasn't the military admitted failure and dropped these ridiculous mandates?

These photos of maskless sociopaths among children they're actively suffocating will live in infamy. She's pure filth.

Thing of it is, you see--it's so easy to do bad things to children.

And God help the little buggers if they try to fight back.

The teachers union, the National Geographic and these idiot so called scientist pediatricians are at odds on this now with the CDC. The CDC has altered their guidance on this, except apparently in the Head Start program, which is inexplicable. This should be interesting, these "experts" now having to contradict the CDC who heretofore they have treated as high priests.

I’ve noticed that kid mask mandates are never defended on disease but always “because it will allow <important location> to remain open”

And why do masks allow these locations to remain open? Because of government saying they can’t remain open without muzzling kids.

It’s the classic 1973 National Lampoon cover “If you don’t buy this magazine, we’ll kill this dog” turned into official government policy.

Me, too!

And that means it's *my* (anti-masker) fault that places have to shut down, you see, not the begnine, angelic government's.

National Geographic can go pound sand with their PC agenda. Yes, children have been and are hurt by masks which do not help them one bit. Our 5 year old granddaughter, last year, told her mom that she always pulled her mask down at school and no one said anything to correct her. That broke me up when I heard about it.

In the aerosol state, most viral particles are inactivated within 10 minutes. But the higher the carbon dioxide content, the longer they remain in a stable state.

And what about the concentration of CO2 under masks? 😷

Forced to conclude Nat Geo is captured

Nat Geo is too woke for itself. So sad.

Horrible. Just because most kids adapt to trauma does not mean you need to needlessly traumatize them. The psychological and spiritual aspects are totally missed. I could not let my child attend a school that required masking because I don't want to instill the message that she is nothing more than a disease vector. I think that compromises her highest potential

These people are evil. They're the same swine who say things like "kids are resilient" and then ignore all the f'd up adults that are that way from having a screwed childhood.

Talk with an adult who was raped as a child and then tell me how "kids are resilient".

That may seem like hyperbole, but when you mentally abuse a child, it stays with them. Forever. Add in physical pain and/or stress and it causes panic and anxiety that almost never goes away.
