The Latest: CDC: Studies show masks lessen school outbreaks

The Center for Disease Control and Prevention data from the new K-12 school year bolster the agency’s recommendation for masks in schools and in-person classes.

One study in two Arizona counties found coronavirus outbreaks were almost four times more common at public schools without mask mandates on the first day than at those that re-opened with a masking requirement.

Another study found case rates in children and teens increased more in U.S. counties where public schools had no mask mandates than in those where schools had that requirement. These studies lacked data on other measures that could have influenced the results.

A third study counted 1,801 coronavirus-related school closures through mid-September, most of them in the South, where many schools opened earlier than those in other regions.

The type of "science" coming out of the CDC is embarrassing. Looking at data from different areas of the country to try to determine the effectiveness of masks is very difficult. In order for any comparison to be made you would have to know the number of potential virus carriers entering each of the schools you are comparing. That requires knowledge of the presence of the virus in the population in general in the area which requires some kind of random sample testing at a minimum.

Trying to determine whether or not masks work without knowing what the virus exposure levels of the people wearing masks and the people not wearing masks are is pointless.

If we study homes all across America we will find that most houses with gardens in their yards have not been destroyed by wildfires. In fact, virtually no homes with gardens were destroyed by forest fires in New Hampshire this year. By contrast, homes in California and other western states have been destroyed by forest fires. Less of those homes had gardens in their yards, and few had the vegetable gardens that really seem to work in New Hampshire, Maine, Vermont, and Massachusetts.

So my "CDC study" shows that vegetable gardens are very effective in preventing forest fires from burning your house down. If those people in California had just put a couple of tomato plants out in their yard their homes would have been saved.

CDC “science” doesn’t need any control groups.

You keep a kid in a mask 12 hours a day and that kid will likely not only have a troubled adulthood, healthwise, but spawn equally unhealthy offspring.

Anyone putting their names on this should be fired.

And I’m not even addressing the damned virus.

If the CDC said it, you have fewer intelligent brain cells for
having listened.

They’ve cut school outbreaks in half! Down from .00001% to .000005%.

Exactly!

Dr uses vape clouds to illustrate how masks do not work (2:55 min.)

Noting that there are risks for kids taking too much vitamin D3, artificial lighting urbanites might consider daily vitamin D3 supplements to help natural immunity do its job in my non-medical opinion.

From WebMD...You’re right.

Coronavirus. These tend to do their dirty work in the winter and early spring. The coronavirus is the cause of about 20% of colds. There are more than 30 kinds, but only three or four affect people.

CDC have demonstrated that they are partisan political pigs. They could tell me that the sun sets in the west and I would look for myself.

The leftist cabal of affirmative action hires at the CDC took the time from LGBT and Gun Control studies to study the effectivity of masks against protecting from disease. I am so impressed.
