Twitchy favorite Bethany Mandel was trending all day Friday. . .

. . .all because she posted this photo of what her 6-year-old’s mask looked like after a day at camp:
This mask is like this after one day. pic.twitter.com/TKDDXEVQEZ

And this prompted MSNBC’s Joy Reid to go on the attack after wrongly assuming it was Bethany’s mask.
Reid wrote, “I feel like you should probably see a doctor, Bethany — and not because of the mask. Whatever’s in your belly or lungs or on your skin seems quite unhealthy. The junk at your feet also might be a clue as to what’s going on… Doctors and nurses wear masks all day with no issues”:

Reid, however, proved Bethany’s point as 6-YEAR-OLDS (AND ADULTS FOR THAT MATTER) DO NOT FOLLOW THE SAME MASK PROTOCOLS AS A DOCTOR OR NURSE IN A HOSPITAL:
Related: How strange it is that progressives see scaring their children into wearing dirty, bacteria-filled cloth on their faces for 8-9 hours a day without complaint as evidence of their amazing parenting.

And have people not been paying attention? This is what masks look like at the end of the day WHEN KIDS WEAR THEM:
Even if #masks work, they don't work on kids who have no idea how to wear. Crumple them up. Shove in bags. Sneeze in/don't replace. Roll in dirt. Swap w/friends. Get sweaty, creating moist environment. Here's what other parents found on their kids' masks. https://t.co/DIyLAB3rIg https://t.co/Yvog5zKSXr

Blue-check lib William LeGate even suggested CPS take away Bethany’s kids:
Do you think maybe there’s some deep mental health damage from the last year? Nah I’m sure they’re all doing fine. pic.twitter.com/AjxfURO7vc

They’ve really, really lost it:
Tell me you don’t have kids and have never met a kid without telling me. https://t.co/sB0t6xrYLx

Me: Kids are gross and putting masks on them is gross. Here’s a gross mask. Twitter: OH MY GOD THAT IS GROSS. Me: … Yes.

And to the people who think masks are some silver bullet in this fight, welcome to reality:
It's a teachable moment to watch childless adults discover that kids are dirty, messy animals.
It's a revelation to them! https://t.co/CbROvbAq5o

As for Bethany, she doesn’t mind if you keep retweeting the photo:
Please keep RTing the image of a mask a six year old wore at summer camp for one day. https://t.co/jmpWlkGjVu

One thing we should also point out is that parents all across America are going to face this same choice in a few weeks with mandatory masks in school:
I’m against it and avoid it at all costs. I also have been screaming that kids need normalcy, and summer camp is part of that. I gave them the choice and they wanted to go to camp. https://t.co/N3KlIM6F1i
— Bethany S. Mandel (@bethanyshondark) August 6, 2021
No, it’s not:
It’s not easy being a parent in 2020 and 2021. Lots of less than idea situations and circumstances and we all have to do a cost benefit analysis of what makes sense for our kids. https://t.co/SgodZOe5Qi
