NEW YORK CITY (LifeSiteNews) – Keeping toddlers masked temporarily is necessary to prevent another citywide shutdown, the Big Apple’s Democrat Mayor Eric Adams claims in a new interview.
Asked how he would explain to a four-year-old why he must keep his mask on while older kids remove theirs, Adams likened it to situations where older children take the lead on something to make sure it’s safe for their younger siblings.
“You’re going to be taking off your mask, like your big brothers and sisters are doing now, when you have big brothers and sisters, sometimes they do things first to make sure it’s safe for you,” he said. “And those children, they trust it because they understand their parents and they trust their leadership. They’re not tainted like adults. They still feel that we have to make the right decisions for them.”
“And I’m with the parents,” Adams claimed. “I want those masks off, I said it in January, but I have to do it right to make sure the city protects its children, and don’t close down the city again.”
