The latest CDC recommendation is that students K-12 wear a mask at school. There is no reason why healthy children in this state need to cover their faces with a mask! Our state has the highest vaccination rate in the nation. Masking our childrenis contradictory to the efficacy of the vaccine.
- Masks can be detrimental to children's health, making it difficult for kids to breathe. Wearing a mask also makes it tougher for children to socialize, learn and interact with their peers
- Parents should have the option whether they want their child to wear a mask or not.
- 83.7% of Vermonters 12+ have been vaccinated.
Do not make our children wear mask again this year. It goes against the duty of ordinary care statue. It could cause long term effects on our children mentally and physically. It exposes them to unreasonable risk when they are not at risk of being affected by the covid-19 virus. If we keep living our lives like this the children will have severe social issues. Do not make them wear masks again to spread fear.
