I suspect the issue here is that the public health lever-pulling expert class has decided on an authoritarian strategy and maskless children would disrupt the facade of absolute conformity.

You see people outright admitting this when they vaccinate and are afraid to unmask even though science would suggest otherwise - they want to get rid of the perception of individual autonomy.

But on the topic of children masking: it's clear that the panic-ridden doomsday people have continuously downplayed or flat-out not recognized the non-linear detrimental effects of disrupting normal education and socialization of children.
