Small children never needed masks and weren't forced to wear them in any other OECD nation. Masks are terrible for language acquisition and social development.

Small children never needed masks and weren't forced to wear them in any other OECD nation. Masks are terrible for language acquisition and social development. Also as I pointed out above the CDC even states that small children ~10 and under were never a major source of spread. Wasting effort putting masks on toddlers was social capital that could have been better spent on useful mitigations.
