Original Note:
This claim is false. The British Medical Journal (BMJ) did publish a systematic review titled “Child mask mandates for COVID-19: a systematic review”. However, this review did not mention or conclude that child mask mandates caused irreversible brain damage. https://adc.bmj.com/content/archdischild/early/2023/12/02/archdischild-2023-326215.full.pdf https://leadstories.com/hoax-alert/2023/12/fact-check-bmj-review-did-not-find-child-mask-mandates-caused-irreversible-brain-damage.html https://leadstories.com/mp/hoax-alert/2023/12/fact-check-bmj-review-did-not-find-child-mask-mandates-caused-irreversible-brain-damage.html https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/news-punch/
