CALGARY, Alberta (LifeSiteNews) – An Alberta court has upheld the province’s decision to lift mask mandates for children in school.
The Court of Queen’s Bench in Alberta dismissed an injunction application by the far-left affiliated Alberta Federation of Labour (AFL) earlier this week that sought to keep masks mandatory in the province’s schools after the policy was lifted by Alberta’s Premier Jason Kenney last week.
According to the AFL’s lawyer, the decision to unmask children was “rushed,” and makes children “choose between their education and their health and in some cases, their life.”
Their claims, which have been rejected by the court, are also in sharp contradiction to 47 different studies that show the ineffectiveness of masking and 32 other studies showing that the measure is actually harmful, particularly when imposed on children.
An August 2021 study out of Rhode Island found that children born during the COVID-19 pandemic have markedly lower cognitive ability compared to their pre-pandemic counterparts, leading scientists to question the safety of these COVID measures.
