BMJ review reveals mask mandates in schools harm children and don't prevent infections.
A new review confirms what many people have long suspected: mask mandates for children do not have any benefits - and they can even be harmful.
It involved 22 studies; while six of them determined an association between mask mandates and reduced rates of infection, 16 of them found no connection between mask wearing and reduced infections.
One European study of note was conducted in Finland, where researchers compared rates of COVID-19 in children aged 10 to 12 with and without mask mandates.
A Spanish study that involved nearly 600,000 children found there was no significant difference between the number of cases of COVID-19 recorded in five-year-olds without masks and six year-olds who wore masks.
While one might argue that there is no harm in wearing a mask even if it doesn't end up preventing infection, several studies have shown that there are indeed dangers associated with mask wearing.
Children in schools that had mask mandates noted greater anxiety levels compared to those that were not forced to wear masks.
