As Cases Plummet In Florida, New Data Show Forcibly Masking Kids Made No Difference

New data coming out of Florida school districts show virtually zero difference between masked vs. unmasked counties, even as Covid-19 cases plummet across the state.

Leftists hellbent on forcibly masking every child in schools across the country never had any solid data to back up their position, only emotional pleas and scare tactics. In truth, however, this virus has never posed any statistical risk to children, nor were they a significant transmitter to adults. And besides, if teachers were vaccinated, what were they worried about?

While many districts refused to implement mask mandates in their schools, others stubbornly insisted upon them, even defying an order from Republican Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis to allow parental exemptions. We were assured that the masked counties would fare far better than the 'Wild West' unmasked ones, where the bodies of schoolchildren would presumably be stacked in the streets, or something.

NEW PEDIATRIC CASES:

New COVID-19 cases for children ages 5-17 – the vast majority of the school-aged population – have decreased 79% in the month of September, in the 54 Florida counties where school districts have no masking policy or are following state law by honoring the parental opt-out rule.

For comparison, COVID-19 cases for children 5-17 in the 13 districts that imposed forced-masking in schools have decreased 77%, on average.

POSITIVITY RATES:

The 54 districts with opt-outs or no mask policy have seen an average decrease of 65% in positivity from week ending Aug. 19 (when school started) to the week ending Sep. 30.

The 13 districts that broke the law to impose forced-masking have seen an average decrease of 67%.

That is to say, the data for this school year to date shows no impact of forced masking in schools on pediatric COVID-19 prevalence.

Cases went down because the schools are not testing everyone like the first day school opened...just testing if a kid has symptoms of covid...

Man people have learned nothing from Climate-Gate.

While I trust this report, an opposing report could be made up and the numbers fudged just like NOAA and NASA did with the buoy data it received. (Most climate changers tend to gloss over the fact that the scientist responsible for the data of climate change/global warming was sent to jail and did not pass go nor did he collect 200 dollars.)

The numbers from the faux pandemic were already bolstered to include everything under the sun as being COVID related but that was more for hospitals to get their comeuppance for each patient they treated. In a way the faux pandemic was a bail out for hospitals if they could claim a patient had been treated for COVID and in some cases this is still going on. Died from a GSW - COVID death. Died from a blunt force trauma to the chest (steering wheel hitting the chest) - COVID related. Well there is about 76K US dollars for the hospital.

When will this faux pandemic be called for what it really is: Fraudci-Gate.
