Republicans Demand CDC Explain Why 2-Year-Olds Should Wear Masks
A group of more than two dozen congressional Republicans demanded answers from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) on Thursday as to why children aged 2 and older must wear face masks despite overwhelming evidence they possess extremely low risk from coronavirus infection.
Children, 32 lawmakers from both chambers wrote in a letter to CDC Director Rochelle Walensky spearheaded by Utah Sen. Mike Lee, account for less than 2 percent of all coronavirus cases and present low risk of spreading infection, according to the scientific literature. The CDC, however, more than 12 months into the pandemic, still says children as young as 2 years old should wear a face mask. These recommendations carry a heavy weight, influencing state, federal, and corporate guidelines.
