THIS is how you make your point!

Matt Walsh gives the perfect pro-choice in masking speech to the Metro Nashville Public School Board on August 10, 2021. Personal connection. Facts. Personal relevance of facts. Responsibility of the Board of Education.

Hi, my name is Matt Walsh.  I’m a community member in Nashville and a father of four.

Um, you on the School Board have decided that our kids should go to school all day, every day wearing muzzles like rabid dogs. I have listened to your arguments and I’ve noticed that they’re missing a few things; namely evidence, data, science, common sense and basic human decency.

You presented NO facts at all, ah, so let me do that now.  Here they are.

COVID poses almost NO risk to our kids AT ALL.  4.2 million children have tested positive for COVID.  A total of .008% of them have died.  Overall, .0004% of the child population in this country (I’m not talking to-I’m, I’m talking right now) in this country has died from COVID.  TWICE as many have died by DROWNING each year.  A BATHTUB poses more of a risk to your child than COVID.  Your child is far more likely to die in the car on the way to school than he is to die from COVID at school.

What about the flu? The CDC estimates that 480 kids died from the flu in the 2018-2019 season.  That’s more than have died from COVID in a year and a half.  Now, did anyone on this Board suggest at any point that year that kids wear masks?  Did anyone in this ROOM suggest that at any point anyone wear masks for flu which, again, is MORE dangerous to kids than COVID.  That’s a fact.

Now. Do you know what it’s called when you force your children to wear masks for fear of a virus that poses almost no threat to them?  It’s called child abuse. You want to look up a disease? Look up Munchausen by proxy. Because that’s what this is. 

If you think I’m exaggerating than how would you respond to a parent who forced his kid to wear a football helmet every day, all day for fear of falling coconuts and meteors.  Your kid is almost as likely to die of COVID as he is from a rock from the sky-and yet, if you saw that you would say to that parent that he is abusive.  That he is forcing his kid to participate in this utterly insane charade in order to satisfy his delusional psychotic hypochondria.

Now, do any of you know what sort of psychological damage we do to children by forcing them to cover their faces? 

Teaching them that the air is toxic? 

That everyone around them is sick? 

Depriving them of the ability to see each other’s faces. 

Do you know what kind of damage that does-that does? Have you thought about it? 

Have you wondered about the health effects of forcing kids to breathe through sweat, and spit and dirt-soakedsoaked rags every single day?  Are you sure that there ARE no health risks?

Do you know what the effect is on children developmentally if they’re not able to read each other’s facial cues? 

What about learning to read and they can’t see the teacher enunciating the words? What does it do to a child’s developing immune system if he has to wear a mask all day, every day?

Have you taken any of this into consideration at ALL? 

Well, you haven’t. 

You’re satisfied to place this burden on children anyway.  And why?  It’s not to keep them safe.  They are safe.  It’s not to keep the adults safe. They can all get vaccinated if they want.  No, you do it to make yourselves feel better and to protect yourselves politically.  The child’s mask is a symbolic security blanket for YOU, not them.  It’s a disgrace and you should all be ashamed. 

Thank you for your time.
