STOP MASKING KIDS IN HORRY COUNTY ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS
The Issue
petition for the removal of plexiglass http://chng.it/JfctnCWj
Horry County Schools are forcing kids as young as 4 years old to sit in a mask all day long, except for eating, and maybe a couple small breaks to breathe freely. There are an abundance of peer-reviewed scientific papers that say not only do masks not work or prevent anything, but are actually harmful, ESPECIALLY to children. We also don’t know the long term physiological or psychological effects of these to our children. Masks should be voluntary but not forced. This is not a one size fits all solution, just as medicine isn’t a one size fits all solution.
From: My Horry News “When I spoke with DSS, I asked them ‘If I was teaching my kid from home and put him in a closet and made him wear a mask for seven hours, would you be coming after me for … endangerment?’ They said yes and I asked them what is the difference, and they didn’t know,” Yarbrough said. https://archive.is/GLG9c

“Compared to no masks, there was no reduction of influenza-like illness cases or influenza for masks in the general population, nor in healthcare workers.”
“Use of masks in surgery were found to slightly increase incidence of infection over not masking in a study of 3,088 surgeries.“
“Healthcare workers wearing cloth masks were found to have 13 times the risk of influenza-like illness than those wearing medical masks.“
”The issue of mask wearing is especially critical for children. In children, any hypoxic condition is even more of an emergency than it is for an adult. This is partly due to their more horizontal ribs and barrel-shaped chest, resulting in children relying primarily on diaphragm muscles for breathing, not nearly so much intercostal muscles, as in adults. These diaphragm muscles have proportionately fewer type I muscle fibers, resulting in earlier fatigue.
Also, a child’s tongue is relatively large in proportion to the size of the pharynx, and the epiglottis is floppy.
These anatomical differences make a child potentially more vulnerable than an adult to injury from hypoxic assault.
We consider it urgent for children to be released from mask “mandates,” based on this information.”

“It is also clear that masks serve symbolic roles. Masks are not only tools, they are also talismans that may help increase health care workers’ perceived sense of safety, well-being, and trust in their hospitals.”
talisman- any amulet or charm.
