National Geographic: Experts say masking not only doesn't harm children; it benefits them in more ways than one

OK, where to start with this piece on masking children, which National Geographic published just as several Democrat-led states announced plans to drop mask mandates in schools. First, to benefit children in more ways than one, masks would have to benefit children in one way, and we think National Geographic is making a big assumption there despite claiming it’s focused on the science. Second, we read the whole piece to find out other ways masking benefits children, but we found only one: Schools with mask mandates are more likely to stay open (really?) and therefore kids won’t miss out on in-person learning.

In short, masks don’t affect breathing, they don’t affect language development, they don’t affect social development, and they don’t contribute to mental health issues. Keep in mind, states have mandated that kids as young as 2 years old wear a mask all day in daycare.

How about these mental health issues?

[Walter] Gilliam says blaming masks for the depression and anxiety in kids stems from a natural desire to protect them. But he suspects it’s not the masking that causes stress in classrooms. “It’s the trauma of COVID that the masks were intended to prevent,” he says. “When you have an ache and a pain, it’s the cut on your arm not the Band-Aid that went over it that’s causing the problem. The purpose of the mask is to reduce all the other traumas—traumas that we know for an absolute fact harm children.”

Yeah, OK buddy.

As they admit, there are no studies because it would be unethical to put children in masks to see if there really are no negative effects.

If masks benefit children in more ways than one and cause no harm, they should have been wearing masks before the pandemic.
