A recent NPR report quotes a Maryland mother who complains that you risk being tarred as "a psychotic, anti-vax right-winger" if you dare to question whether children should be forced to wear face masks in day care and K‒12 schools.
Most of the studies cited by the CDC did not even compare schools with mask mandates to schools without them.
One exception was a study of Georgia elementary schools published last May, which found that masking of teachers was associated with a statistically significant reduction in COVID-19 transmission, but masking of students was not.
Another study published the same day found that COVID-19 outbreaks were more common in Arizona schools that did not require masks.
During a Fox News appearance in December, she said "Study after study" has "Demonstrated that our layered prevention strategies, including masks in schools, are able to keep our schools safely open."
Uncertainty about the real-world impact of masking is compounded when mandates apply to children as young as 2, as the CDC recommends-a stance that is extreme by international standards.
In this context, the CDC's continued insistence on "Universal masking" looks less scientific every day.
It's becoming increasingly difficult to discern fact from fiction, and unfortunately the media has a strong bias. They spin stories to make conservatives look bad and will go to great lengths to avoid reporting on the good that comes from conservative policies. There are a few shining lights in the media landscape-brave conservative outlets that report the truth and offer a different perspective. We must support conservative outlets like this one and ensure that our voices are heard.
