Study CDC Relied Upon for School Mask Mandates Was Authored by LA County Public Health Director's Daughter - Who's Also Not an MD
Red State ^ | 07/20/2022 | Jennifer Van Laar

A “study” finding that COVID mitigation efforts in schools, including forced masking, were highly effective in stopping disease spread — and cited by the CDC and most states as the scientific basis for school mask mandates — was authored by LA County bureaucrats, including the daughter of the county’s Public Health Director Barbara Ferrer.

Although study authors are required to disclose any conflicts of interest — and Ferrer is given a shout-out in the acknowledgements — the study states that no conflicts of interest were disclosed.

Like her mother, Kaitlin Barnes is not a medical doctor. Barnes does not even have a scientific background or a Ph.D. in any field. Her professional background is a combination of her parents’ professions; Kenneth Barnes has had a long career in urban planning and community organizing. From an archived copy of Kaitlin’s website, which has been scrubbed (emphasis added):

Born and raised inJamaica Plain, a diverse and vibrant neighborhood of Boston, she attended the Boston Public Schools and graduated from Boston Latin School in 2004. Receiving a B.A. with a major in Metropolitan Studies and a minor in Politics from New York University (2008), her research focused on urban planning and policy, immigration, race and racism, and health equity. Kaitlin went on to earn an M.A. in Communication Management from Emerson College in 2012, focusing on stakeholder management, public diplomacy, place branding, and health communication. She recently completed an M.B.A. at Boston University’s Questrom School of Business with a dual concentration in strategy & innovation and health sector management.

(snip)

This woman is not a scientist or a public health professional; she’s an activist pursuing her agenda by any means necessary. And that agenda isn’t limited to Los Angeles County.

These are the idiots who helped developmentally delay millions of children for no medical benefit.

Another shyster with worthless “credentials”. Incompetent idiots with no actual ability promote each other into positions of control. Not one ever pays a price for their disastrous results.

“Kaitlin Barnes is not a medical doctor”

And almost no medical professionals spoke up against this, rather they followed the script perfectly. A couple of doctors on FreeRepublic participated feverishly.

Those aren’t masks.

They’re muzzles.

Whaaaaat?

What a load.

Professional background isn’t genetically passed down through heredity, it’s not transmitted by osmosis.

What
A
Load.

Victor Davis Hanson poits out all the time that Dr. Scott Atlas spoke up all the time. For a short while, he was on President Trump’s COVID Task Force and played a key role. But he couldn’t take the intense heat and got out of the kitchen. They his colleagues at Stanford University set out to destroy him personally and professionally. There was ZERO tolerance for deviation from the government diktats.

That’s correct. You will find few men of good character and courage in medicine. It’s not good for medicine. It’s not good for patients.

A statitistics background is needed, not a medical or “Science”. The issue is about data analysis.
