> increased risk of developing a chronic illness for children Well, there's pretty good evidence of this one given that one of the subjects in the adolescent trials for Pfizer was briefly paralyzed by the shot and still dealing with the consequences on an ongoing basis. > literal misinformation was spread claiming that drugs that don't work were effective. How, exactly, is it known with enough certainty that the drugs do not work as to label the claim "misinformation"? All of the controlled studies around the question have flaws one can point to, including the ones which found no effect. > making claims that wearing masks was actually harmful I don't know what exact harms were being claimed, but wearing a mask absolutely interrupts normal human social cues, creates a false sense of imperviousness to infection in many wearers, and for many people creates subtle sensations of claustrophobia (because it's not normal to have something strapped across your face for long periods of time). Our children go to a summer camp where it's been in the high 90s this week and one of the poor kids in attendance is being made to wear a mask by his family. Aside from the absurdity of wearing a mask outside (totally unnecessary and pointless), I guarantee he is also being harmed by this, if perhaps not permanently (but how impermanent is it if his parents apparently intend to mask forever)?
