Anti-mask Parents Attack Doctors at School in Tennessee

What’s the actual harm in wearing a mask? That’s the question hosts Shannon LaNier and Mike Hill are searching for an answer on “Start Your Day.”

Hill called it “ridiculous” after he and LaNier saw a video of anti-mask parents in Tennessee verbally attacking medical personnel who were brought in to talk about the benefits of wearing masks in schools. “As parents, it is your responsibility to protect your children, to protect the other children around your children, this is just negligence that you are actually saying you don’t want your children to wear a mask,” LaNier chimed in, adding more than 500 children have died from the coronavirus, and it’s getting worse with the Delta variant. LaNier nods in agreement as Hill says adults should be embarrassed and ashamed after seeing themselves and “how stupid they look when it comes to this.” The “Start Your Day” hosts noted that it’s a lie to say that COVID-19 isn’t affecting children, especially when “facts” show that 15% of all new cases are in children. Hill added that if parents care about their children, they should encourage them to wear masks because it’s saving their lives and helping their respiratory systems. LaNier then compared masks to seatbelts, noting that seatbelts don’t always save lives, but in most cases they do. So, why not make your child wear masks?
