“Dear Patient Name,
Effective immediately, all forms of child abuse will no longer be tolerated in my office. This includes masking children…
My first ethical responsibility as a physician is to do no harm to my patients, and allowing children to mask their faces has caused and continues to cause tremendous harm to them physically, emotionally, pshychologically, and developmentally. Any argument to the contrary is naïve and irrational.
Over the past year, referrals to speech and language therapists have increased by between 25 and 300%, depending on locale. Younger children have suffered a 24% cognitive decline, along with a 22 IQ-point loss among infants, due to a combination of prolonged isolation, anti-social distancing, and universal masking of faces. This catastrophe is mand-made and due entirely to the failings of adults.”
