NIH Dir. Collins Defends Masking Children: ‘It’s Not Like We’re Asking People to Go to the Trenches with Shooting War’

‘The virus doesn’t care that we’re sick of masks’

EXCERPT:

COLLINS: "I have great respect for the AAP, and I don’t think they make these recommendations lightly. They will not be popular amongst parents and kids who are sick of masks, but you know what, the virus doesn’t care that we’re sick of masks. The virus is having another version of its wonderful party for itself. And to the degree that we can squash that by doing something that maybe is a little uncomfortable, a little inconvenient, it’s not like we’re asking people to go to the trenches with shooting war. You know, we’re just asking you, if it looks like it will help, put the mask back on for a while."
