Kids 12 and under are not even supposed to take the vaccine. We're looking into options for our grandchildren. Calling different private schools to see if they demand masks. Might end up homeschooling them, if necessary.

"Masks should be worn indoors by all individuals (age 2 and older) who are not fully vaccinated. Consistent and correct mask use by people who are not fully vaccinated is especially important indoors and in crowded settings, when physical distancing cannot be maintained."
Masks are harmful and provide zero benefit. Period.
