‘Masks reduce racism’ study is latest sign US medical establishment is insanely, perilously woke

Is there anything masking can’t do? Except for control COVID spread, of course.

A new study in the New England Journal of Medicine purports to show that mask policies in schools work to contain COVID. But that’s not all: The authors conclude, “We believe that universal masking may be especially useful for mitigating effects of structural racism in schools, including potential deepening of educational inequities.”

Sure, masks help fix structural racism. Why not? And the next study will show masking fights climate change.

No, what this study shows is that much of the medical establishment continues to be intensely woke — and deeply dishonest because of it. Just as the “experts” told us gathering in crowds wasn’t OK in spring of 2020, but just weeks later protesting for Black Lives Matter somehow was.

This dishonesty is going to hurt us all for a long time.

As for this study specifically: It does not prove what the authors intended to. It’s just the latest in a push by agenda-driven scientists, and the media who love them, to get people back in masks.

The study centers on two Massachusetts school districts that didn’t remove their mask mandates as soon as the state allowed, in March 2022, but kept them until June. A few months later, they saw slightly lower COVID rates than the other districts.

It’s amazing that COVID could lay in wait like that, ready to punish those who behaved badly months earlier. What’s even more startling: COVID rates in all the schools were higher before anyone took off their mask — but that uncomfortable fact goes unmentioned in the write-up.

Plus, the study doesn’t look at actual mask use, just the mandates. Nor does it account for any differences in behavior, income level, lifestyles and so on. (Which

Elastic words that change their meaning to suit any purpose is a bedrock principle of Leftwing thought. Exactly what “racism” or “progress” or “climate change” or “evolution” or “inflation” or “vaccine” or “gender” or “choice” means will change to suit the purpose of the hive mind.

I am just glad I live in Texas and don’t have to put up with too much of this crap. Seems like much of the rest of the nation is going to hell quickly.

As I was taught, if you don’t want to be stereotyped.....don’t do stereotypical $hit. If you don’t want to be called a liar....don’t lie.

I would rather be labeled a racist than to hide my face from the world and not see other people’s faces. I also like breathing.

It’s pretty well established that masking lowers educational achievement for school children. If all the children learn very little, there will be less “inequity” in outcomes by race. Therefore, masking good.

The authors of the “study” need psychiatric help. In the mean time they should be called out, shamed, and laughed out of the medical/academic arena.

I had two great grandfathers who fought for the Union. However, secession of the South, plus the Plains states and the Northern Rockies states sounds like a good idea.

Why don't everybody wear a white gender neutral whole face mask?
I know black, brown, red or yellow are out of the question.

Then hoodies, no matter who wears them, cause racism.

This could work...if you wore the mask over your eyes.
