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.

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.

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.

This is not surprising, since there were no statistically significant differences in case rates in forced-masking versus mask-optional schools during the 2020-21 school year in Florida.

Per Florida Depts of Health & Education data: During September - school underway - juvenile COVID cases & positivity rates plummeted.

Covid-19 cases and hospitalizations continue to decline across the state, despite largely maskless schools and no governmental vaccine mandates.
