Unvaccinated Children to Wear Masks Forever; Separating the Sheep from the Goats By Mrs Vera West
The CDC of the US wants children to go back to school, but the unvaccinated must wear masks. Children in the US under the age of 12 years have not been cleared to receive a vaccine, so masked they will be. Just imagine what it is going to be like out on the playground there will be two classes of people, the masked, who are older than 12, and the unmasked. Then, when vaccinations are available, children unvaccinated will be distinguished by their mask, which will leave them open to bullies, Covid bullies. Dreadful stuff.
“The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) said it is a “priority” for children to safely return to in-person learning for the upcoming school year but said unvaccinated children should continue to wear masks, detailing its position in a guidance released Friday.
The federal health agency released updated guidance Friday, recognizing in-person learning for children as extremely beneficial and listing their return to the classrooms as a “priority.” This is “regardless of whether all of the prevention strategies can be implemented at the school.” Nonetheless, it is still advancing the notion that unvaccinated children should continue to wear masks in school. Currently, children under the age of 12 are not cleared to receive a vaccine. As such, the CDC recommends “layered prevention strategies” to “protect” the unvaccinated.
“COVID-19 prevention strategies remain critical to protect people, including students, teachers, and staff, who are not fully vaccinated, especially in areas of moderate-to-high community transmission levels,” the guidance states, urging localities to “monitor community transmission, vaccination coverage, screening testing, and occurrence of outbreaks to guide decisions on the level of layered prevention strategies.”
The update includes a list of bullet points, outlining the agency’s guidance for children to return to school in the fall. It is now recommending schools to keep a 3-foot distance between students in classrooms, “combined with indoor mask wearing by people who are not fully vaccinated, to reduce transmission risk.” It also recommends masks to be work indoors by all individuals over the age of 2 who are not “fully vaccinated.” However, the guidance does not specify if the CDC expects schools to identify unvaccinated children and teachers publicly and hold them to those standards.
The CDC is continuing to urge parents to get their children 12 and older vaccinated ahead of the school year, despite lingering concerns over rare heart inflammation conditions developing in younger people, primarily men, who receive one of the mRNA vaccines. However, the CDC says the benefits of receiving the vaccination outweigh the risks.”
This all begs the question, as detailed in previous articles at this blog, whether children need the vaccine at all, given their low risk of getting ill from Covid.
