The Case Against Masks at School

[Dashinka 24,725]

Remember when the Left (make no mistake, the mandate proponents are mostly Left extremists) used to pretend to worry about children.  I also hear the FDA will be approving an EUA Pfizer vaccine variant for kids a young as 6 months, would anyone in their right mind put this in their children with almost no long-term effects data, and the fact that this age group is not hardly impacted at all.  Anyway, a good article tearing through the various poor studies used by the CDC to recommend masking children.

 

The Case Against Masks at School

 

Therefore, the overall takeaway from these studies—that schools with mask mandates have lower COVID-19 transmission rates than schools without mask mandates—is not justified by the data that have been gathered. In two of these studies, this conclusion is undercut by the fact that background vaccination rates, both of staff and of the surrounding community, were not controlled for or taken into consideration. At the time these studies were conducted, when breakthrough infections were much less common, this was a hugely important confounding variable undermining the CDC’s conclusions that masks in schools provide a concrete benefit in controlling COVID-19 spread: Communities with higher vaccination rates had less COVID-19 transmission everywhere, including in schools, and those same communities were more likely to have mask mandates.

I saw that, too.  Fascinating that The Atlantic would publish something so contrary to The Science.

The mask police.  Such a joke.  I may actually watch the Super Bowl this weekend to see how many people actually wear a mask.

Good thing (or maybe bad thing) that there aren't guillotines around.

Democratic governors are doing a great job in leading and showing that masks may no longer be necessary.
