Covid is at its lowest rate since it's birth which is especially good as we had no summer spike as was predicted.

So instead of spike like each summer, lowest rate ever, for any time of year.

Considering most places don't need masks anymore, I don't think anyone realizes you're protesting. :(

Negative consequences outweighed any possible benefits relative to masking our kids. Whether in school or elsewhere.

------------------------------------

"To date, there is no robust evidence demonstrating that masking reduces the likelihood of respiratory infections in children [7], [8], [9]. A recent randomized study in adults found those assigned to community masking were significantly less likely to complete a survey about their symptoms precluding the ability to draw conclusions about differences in reported symptoms; this study was also underpowered to determine if there was a difference in documented infections [10].

There continues to be a lack of reliable data to support recommendations for children to wear masks to prevent respiratory infections. At the same time, there are numerous potential harms associated with mask wearing, especially in young children, some readily apparent and others more subtle and challenging to quantify.
In this review, we consider the reported harms and theoretical concerns about masking children in the context of the lack of high-quality evidence of protection against transmission of respiratory infections, including COVID-19."

also from the article:
- "In this review, we consider the reported harms and theoretical concerns about masking children in the context of the lack of high-quality evidence of protection against transmission of respiratory infections, including COVID-19."

- "Conclusions
There is a lack of robust evidence of benefit from masking children to reduce transmission of SARS-CoV-2 or other respiratory viruses. In this review, we have, however, identified multiple studies, both randomized and observational, which report that masking may lead to a variety harms in children of all ages. Recommendations for masking children, therefore, fail even the most basic harm-benefit analyses. The current evidence does not support the recommendation of masks for children to prevent

(bold by me). Note the use of the word may. That means it is possible but not confirmed.

Well, we saw Trump tried to call states and get them to give him votes. Then there was the fake elector thing. So Trump did try, but fortunately we held a free and fair election regardless.
