Impacts of Masking on Children
A new study in the journal Developmental Cognitive Neuroscience has found that face masks and other pandemic policies have likely reduced the ability of young children to process facial emotions.
In 2021, while the American Academy of Pediatrics was claiming “there is no known evidence” that face masks “interfere with” “social communication,” Just Facts documented abundant evidence that masks “stifle” “bonding and communication, which are essential to people’s mental health, physical health, and productivity.”
