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

I was at a Technical Interchange Meeting last week. About 150 - 200 people there. The only TWO people I saw wearing masks over a three day period were TWO BLACK WOMEN both under 35.
Not even going to suggest racism, and this is nothing more than reporting what I saw. So Very Sad!

Also, machines help steal elections....
The country is going woke, I don’t see any way to stop it. We are watching the fall of the Roman empire all over again.
Let the Democrats keep wearing those nasty, bacteria-laden pieces of cloth strapped to their faces if they insist on doing so.
But keep those disgusting things off of children.
Masks reduce oxygen levels, and thus make folks STUPID on a mass scale. Their plan is working.
I actually had an experience with the HR person at work during the scamdemic.
Silly woman had two friggen masks on! She sounded like Charlie Brown’s teacher, whah whah whah. I told her I couldn’t understand a word she was saying . Hah! She soldiered on, oblivious, gotta be safe you know! .
Just about as much as outhouses reduce bathroom breaks.
Especially in winter.
Aholes like this keep saying obvious BS, and it works, because no one in the crowd will either stand up and yell BS or simply laugh.
Mock them. Get in their faces. Cause chaos.
Whenever I see someone in a mask my respect for their intelligence goes down significantly. In fact, I prefer not to have anyone in my life who actually wears a mask today.
There are exceptions of course, but you get my drift. It’s almost tangible. That is, there’s a subtle feeling of disgust for the person. Sure, it may be wrong for me to feel that way, but I’ve heard tell that feelings are not right or wrong, they just are.
I took a quick look at the authors of the paper. They are all women and possibly a man.
If you're a 'mask denier' Homeland will label you a 'domestic terrorist' ...
The masks even further garble the speech of ebonics speakers, rendering their smart-ass mouths completely unintelligible therefore causing less conflict.
By which they mean, democrat women are ugly so they try to find a reason to mask up.
Also IDs people with HIV.
I like them: tells you who is gay, a Democrat, a criminal, a moron, or several at one time.
Masks reduce humanism.
Laugh in their face and take the mask off. If you wear it, they have beaten you.
God did not give you a spirit of fear. Think about where your fear is coming from.
Equity = Equally stupid.
