I think this is called the tail wagging the dog.

Maybe you should just find a pediatrician you trust in general, and follow their lead on mask vs no mask.

If you feel strongly about no masks, how did you get there if it wasn't through the advice of a pediatrician you trust?

Nonpharmaceutical Measures for Pandemic Influenza in Nonhealthcare Settings—Personal Protective and Environmental Measures

Jingyi Xiao1, Eunice Y. C. Shiu1, Huizhi Gao, Jessica Y. Wong, Min W. Fong, Sukhyun Ryu, and Benjamin J. Cowling

May 2020

“ Disposable medical masks (also known as surgical masks) are loose-fitting devices that were designed to be worn by medical personnel to protect accidental contamination of patient wounds, and to protect the wearer against splashes or sprays of bodily fluids (36). There is limited evidence for their effectiveness in preventing influenza virus transmission either when worn by the infected person for source control or when worn by uninfected persons to reduce exposure. Our systematic review found no significant effect of face masks on transmission of laboratory-confirmed influenza.”

One study among many others, but I should trust the politicians right?

I should have known better than to ask here. If anyone has a serious answer I’d love to hear it.
