@PRandallcares I know what is best for my children. Period.

@Rose2Debbie @PRandallcares Do you do or don’t take your kids to pediatricians? Part of knowing what’s best for my kids is knowing when experts know best and when my judgement is better.

@jakehteach @PRandallcares Of course I take them to drs for regular checkups & when sick. But there have been times when I chose to not follow a dr order. And I know masks are harming my kids. #makemasksoptional

@Rose2Debbie @PRandallcares I’m sorry you think masks are so detrimental. What are the biggest harms? As teacher, I don’t love wearing them in the classroom, but in the middle of a surge it’s hard to see why removing them now mashes any sense. My own kids are doing fine with them as are their classmates.

@jakehteach @PRandallcares The mental health impact is huge. Kids need to stop bearing the burden. You know schools all over are mask optional and those kids/teachers are fine right?

@Rose2Debbie @PRandallcares It depends on your definition of “fine” I suppose. I know that pediatric hospitalization for/with COVID is very high in some places. I don’t know how those places correlate to mask optional vs required. Do you?
