Dr. Oz slams liberal politicians who still favor masks for young children

Dr. Mehmet Oz on mask mandates in schools continuing in some areas.

Dr. Mehmet Oz slammed liberal politicians who still favor masking young children. On the "The Brian Kilmeade Show" Wednesday, the Pennsylvania Republican Senate candidate and TV host said more information is coming in about the damaging effects of making young children wear masks for the past two years in many schools. 

DC PARENT CALLS ON MAYOR TO 'UNMASK' KIDS AFTER 'IGNORING' SCHOOL MASK-WEARING GUIDANCE

DR. MEHMET OZ: Well, the World Health Organization for the entire pandemic, has said do not mask toddlers, children under the age of five should not wear masks. Here's why it doesn't work. They can't keep it on. … They slobber all over. It doesn't work. The masks don't fit anyway. It probably doesn't matter because young children don't seem to have much of a problem with COVID, but they definitely are paying a price. And we have more data from yesterday again showing children developing more and more problems. They can't speak because they don't see the teacher's mouth move. They feel scared of each other. They've got masks that blind them from speaking with each other. If they have glasses, which five percent of children do, they can't read because they fog up all the time. 

…

These little kids should be allowed to live their lives. The harm that we're doing could be irreparable. We don't even know. It's one massive experiment.
