Jerry Nadler: Not Masking 2-Year-Olds During COVID Would Be &#8220;Child Abuse&#8221;<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">During a debate on the House floor, Rep. Jerry Nadler (D-NY) made a bold statement, saying that it would have been &#8220;child abuse&#8221; for 2-year-olds to not wear masks during the COVID pandemic.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Nadler&#8217;s comments came in response to an amendment proposed by Rep. Chip Roy (R-TX) to the REINS Act, which would give Congress the power to vote on vaccine mandates initiated through <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/jerry-nadler-it-would-have-been-child-abuse-to-not-mask-2-year-olds-during-pandemic\/\" title=\"Jerry Nadler: Masking 2-year-olds during the pandemic was necessary to protect them from harm.\">executive branch rule-making<\/a>, such as President Joe Biden&#8217;s now-defunct COVID vaccine mandate.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">&#8220;Two-year-olds should have been required to wear masks. It would be child abuse for parents not to do that because there was no vaccination available for 2-year-olds,&#8221; Nadler argued. &#8220;And the only way to protect them against COVID was to have them wear masks, and these mandates are meant to protect the public&#8217;s health and safety.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Nadler: &#8220;When we have a pandemic like covid, two-year-olds should have been required to wear masks.

That is what the ranking member of the House Judiciary Committee just said here on the floor of the House of Representatives. That the power of the government, the full power of the federal government, should be a part of ensuring and enforcing your children, your 2-year-old child to be masked.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">During the hearing, Becerra was asked if <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/dennis-prager-the-question-fools-dont-ask\/\" title=\"Dennis Prager: The Question Fools Don\u2019t Ask\">forcing 2-year-olds<\/a> to wear masks saves lives, to which he responded, &#8220;Making sure people were masked when it was appropriate was essential to make sure that we were able to get out of this pandemic.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b data-stringify-type=\"bold\"><\/b><\/p>\n<p>Rep. Roy&#8217;s amendment, along with the REINS Act, was passed, giving Congress more oversight over presidential executive actions.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Recent studies have suggested that young children are at very low risk of developing serious health outcomes from COVID, and masks may not be as effective at reducing the spread of the virus as previously thought.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Although President Biden officially ended the COVID national emergency declaration in April, the White House faced criticism for enforcing a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/despite-insistence-by-democrat-politicians-and-medical-elites-empirical-evidence-does-not-conclusively-show-that-masks-reduce-the-spread-of-covid\/\" title=\"Despite Insistence by Democrat Politicians and Medical Elites, Empirical Evidence DOES NOT Conclusively Show that Masks Reduce the Spread of COVID\">mask mandate<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/california-sheriffs-tell-newsom-they-wont-enforce-covid-curfew\/\" title=\"California Sheriffs Tell Newsom They Won't Enforce COVID Curfew\">social distancing guidelines<\/a> for unvaccinated or partially vaccinated visitors.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Lawmakers attending &#8220;College Athlete Day&#8221; at the White House were instructed to wear masks if they were not vaccinated.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">After receiving backlash, the White House claimed that the email enforcing the mask mandate had been sent &#8220;inadvertently&#8221; and promised to send updated guidelines to event attendees.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rep.
