Children Suffering Under These Continued Lockdowns

A speaker argues pandemic policies like lockdowns and mask mandates have harmed children's health, citing statistics showing a third now have sleep problems and a quarter developed new fears. He contrasts public school children negatively with homeschooled ones and criticizes airline mask requirements for toddlers as fear-driven overreach.

Nearly a third of children experience more sleep issues than they had previously, and a quarter of children develop new fears. Only a quarter? You know why? I know why. I figured it out. The— they're so filled with fears already, like they will not survive adulthood because of global warming. That the list of fears is, it just can't keep going. The assault on childhood by the left is one of its many despicable characteristics. Depriving them, this has been my whole lifetime, you know what's systemic? The left's systemic corruption of childhood, the robbing of children of innocence. You meet a homeschooled kid, or most kids from religious homes, versus a kid taught by a left-wing teacher, which is most teachers, and there will be, in the vast majority of cases, no comparison. The amount of jadedness in the, in the kid raised by regular schools versus the kid, the wide open, cheerful. They hate that though. They have contempt for the homeschooled kid who has just a cheery look at life, who calls adults Mr. or Miss or Ms., right? There's contempt for that. Though these results are concerning, the study also found that 30% of children experienced shortness of breath, 26% experienced dizziness, and hundreds of the participants experiencing accelerated respiration, tightness in chest, weakness, and short-term impairment of consciousness. The airlines insisting that if you're over 2, you have to wear a mask. You know what it is? It's the— been true all my life— the most extreme elements of the left push policy. You think the average flight attendant thinks that a 2.5-year-old should have to wear a mask for 4 hours? It is inconceivable to me that the average pilot, flight attendant, airline worker believes that that is necessary. They do it because they don't want to get fired. They do it, the airlines do it because they don't want to get fined or sued. That's what animates this stuff. And why do they even make that possible, the lawsuits? Because The better safe than sorry. No, no, no. No, no. There's a new one. What does AOC stand for again? Not the woman. Abundance of caution. Abundance of caution. Yeah. This is the new motto of the country. Drop In God We Trust, E Pluribus Unum, or Liberty, and put in Abundance of Caution. See, there can't be too much caution. That's the theory of the fools. Tom Sowell made this point decades ago in Stage One Thinking. The further left you go, the less the question is asked, what price? Is being paid. That's it. They don't ask that. There's no price paid for all this masking, right? Just let's do it, even outdoors, even where there's no congregating of people. Let's have everybody wear masks outdoors.
