When schools began to discuss the topic of mask mandates, many of them cited the results of a study that was published last year by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
The study, which involved data from 520 counties throughout the nation, concluded that counties that did not require students to wear masks to school noted bigger increases in COVID-19 case rates than counties that did have mask mandates in place.
The findings of this study were used to double down on masking rules in schools, forcing healthy children with little to no risk of the disease to cover their faces throughout their long school days.
Not surprisingly, the larger data set indicated that mask mandates actually do not have any effect.
Counties in the South were less likely to have school mask mandates, and many of them experienced infection spikes late in the summer due to the high temperatures and people's extensive dependence on air conditioning during that time.
In Spain, a country known for having some of the strictest mask requirements both indoors and outdoors for much of the pandemic, researchers discovered that there was no significant difference in the transmission of COVID-19 between children over the age of 6, who were required to wear masks in school, and those under 6, who were exempt from the rule.
The researchers noted that if mask mandates did have a significant effect on transmission, there would have been lower transmission in the 6-year-olds, who wore masks, compared to the unmasked 5-year-olds, but there was no difference between the two.
