https://lebtown.com/2020/07/10/lebanon-county-legislator-russ-diamond-tweets-a-masked-child-is-an-abused-child-in-self-explanatory-meme/State Rep. Russ Diamond tweeted a meme on Thursday, July 9, equating the wearing of a mask by a child to an act of child abuse.
The tweet came in response to another one posted by former Lebanon Daily News reporter John Latimer, who was commenting on a quote by Rep. Diamond in an ABC27 article about the Pennsylvania Department of Educations recent decision to mandate mask wearing by students when returning to school this fall.

and get sick, or merely infect some of the adults around them who get REALLY sick, maybe even die.
Ok. No problem.

grandnephew loves wearing a mask. He only takes it off to eat, sleep, and when running around the yard with his brothers.
