There is no real scientific evidence that show general masks to be effective. Masks have a direct impact on health if worn often and for long periods of time. Not to mention, there is scientifically proven data that show children school aged kindergarten through 5th grade are not good candidates for the virus or the spread of the virus. Dr. Facui and the CDC, via released emails, have stated themselves that the masks do not work. The WHO has also stated that the time for masks is over and they are doing more harm then good. IF you believe in "science" I encourage you to support my efforts. Lastly, this has a direct link to your very freedom as an American and should never be a requirement by any law. Wear a mask if you choose to do so, but dont place your burden of fear on the rest of us. I ask that you support my viewpoint of logic over that of hysteria and help me end the mask mandate for students, K-5, in Blue Springs School District.
