Florida Surgeon General Picks Apart 'Very Weak' Data on Masking Children

Florida Surgeon General Dr. Joseph Ladapo is blasting mask mandates for children in schools and argues the data to "support" the measures is "very weak."

"In terms of the data that supports mask use in kids and mandates for masking kids, it is very weak and that's a fact," Ladapo told reporters this week. "There is a substantial gap between the quality of data out there supporting masking kids yielding any benefit for kids, whatsoever. Factual."

"In Florida we are going to stay close to the data and we're going to let you know how we feel about the data. The data do not support any clinical benefit for children in schools with mask mandates. The highest quality data find no evidence of benefit," he continued.

Meanwhile, the Biden administration is working to mask kids forever. Centers for Disease Control Director Rochelle Walensky told reporters Wednesday that even if children ages 5-11 are fully vaccinated (FDA approval pending), they should still be masked in schools. 

CDC Director Rochelle Walensky says that they will continue to recommend schools have mask mandates even after the FDA approves vaccinations for children:

U.S. Surgeon General Vivek Murthy is saying the same.

.@Surgeon_General Murthy: Yes, even after we vaccinate kids they'll still need to wear facemasks.

"The CDC has guidance that says even if you are vaccinated you need to wear a mask. That will likely be the case until the CDC changes it." pic.twitter.com/eP1sTo2LAj— Grabien (@GrabienMedia) October 21, 2021

Meanwhile, Wuhan coronavirus cases in Florida are down while cases are spiking in northern states with more mandates and restrictions.

Too much common sense coming out of Florida. Something must be done to stop it!

From the CDC in response to a FOIA request:

"CDC is not aware of any randomized controlled trials that show that masks or double masks or cloth face coverings are effective against COVID-19."

He used to be. He was part of the California UCLA health system.

I guess he moved to Florida for a good reason.

Get those nasty, bacteria-infested muzzles off of our children and let them breathe.
