The face mask mandates during the coronavirus pandemic seem to have literally ruined a gigantic number of children in the United States.

It led to many more kids with speech disorders, dyslexia, and developmental problems. The official federal government admission of that comes from a CDC report, this being the same body that championed COVID-19 masking.

Almost one in ten children in the US now suffers from a developmental disability, while the number of kids with dyslexia and speech disorders has spiked by 17%.

All of that is because of the COVID-19 face mask mandates in school, according to a report by the CDC, The Daily Mail reports.

Thus, the CDC found the share of kids with developmental disabilities went from 7.4% in 2019 to 8.5% in 2021, up by 17%. Those numbers don’t even reflect the entire course of the pandemic.

Its report established that more American children suffer from autism, dyslexia, cerebral palsy, and ADHD (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder).

According to the CDC, boys are now twice more likely than girls to be diagnosed with such conditions. The rates of intellectual disability are growing, with 2.3% of boys aged 3-17 and 1.4% of girls now diagnosed.

The new figures come from the CDC’s National Health Interview Survey, which featured in-person interviews with 9,000 children and 30,000 adults nationwide.

The report revealing more developmental issues among American kids comes after multiple sources found evidence that children’s growth and development were damaged by COVID-19 restrictions.

Thus, a research paper in the JAMA Journal published in January found babies born in 2020 had lower problem-solving and social skills. They were less likely to crawl and smile in a mirror at themselves after six months.

A Brown University research studying 1,000 established a 23% decline in the cognitive scores of “pandemic babies” in three different tests: verbal development, early learning, and non-verbal development.

Another paper from 2022 determined school closures hurt children’s abilities for walking and standing up, due to reduced physical activity.

It seems the most terrifying effects of the COVID-19 restrictions are yet to be uncovered.
