Why is this infuriating? I don’t know the scenario you’re describing but presumably swabbing infants is about protecting them. Infants are at higher risk than older kids and it could certainly make sense to keep tabs on whether they might be catching COVID in the hospital after birth. That’s scary stuff for a baby with no immune system to speak of. Wiping a swab in an infant’s mouth isn’t going to irreparably harm it. If you’re that worried about the swabs, how do you feel about the fact that they squirt their eyes full of medicine immediately after birth to prevent blindness? That’s got to be more disturbing to the baby.
