A new study proves once again what parents and educators should already know: Mask mandates were entirely ineffective at stopping the spread of Covid-19 throughout the pandemic. It wasn't the virus itself that did the brunt of the damage, it was the experts' policies.
The new study in pre-print publication at Research Square focuses on North Dakota schools
- The researchers from the University of Southern California, University of California, Davis and Truth in Data, LLC, unpacked the school mask mandate data.
- School districts across the nation have implemented mask mandates in hopes of reducing COVID-19 transmission
- While observational studies have had conflicting results, randomized studies have failed to detect an impact of masking on participants under 50 years of age
The CDC's mask mandate was recently unpacked in a research article entitled, "Revisiting Pediatric COVID-19 Cases in Counties With and Without School Mask Requirements-United States, July 1-October 20 2021."
- The results were unfavorable for the CDC's support of school mask mandates
- There was no significant difference between the school districts
- No significant difference in student case rates while the districts had differing masking policies
- Difference in IRRs across the two periods was not significantly different
There is mounting evidence that public health officials' response to Covid-19 was not only futile, but it did lasting damage to an entire generation of kids
- President Joe Biden underscored this childhood development crisis in a recent tweet
- Due to the pandemic, kids are behind in math and reading, Biden claimed, calling on schools to expand tutoring, summer learning, and afterschool programs and to provide 250,000 more tutors and mentors for our kids.
