Donoho said she and several other parents had been "talking to the school board about lifting some of these mask requirements since fall of last year." After her son's diagnosis, she helped organize the mask test with the University of Florida lab.
The reports from the lab found multiple, "quite dangerous" bacteria samples in the tested masks, among them streptococcus pneumoniae, mycobacterium tuberculosis, staphylococcus aureus, and numerous others.
In some cases, the lab technicians pointedly underscored the dangers presented by the bacteria. Noting the presence of neisseria meningitidis in the masks, the technicians wrote that the bacterium "causes meningitis and life threatening sepsis," while another bacteria, staphylococcus pyogenes serotype M3 Strep can result in a "severe invasive infection."
Kari Basso, the director of the University of Florida lab, said the masks were "submitted as a service for a fee, similar to sending a blood test to Lab Core."
She declined to comment on the findings, though she confirmed that the reports were written directly by the lab technicians.
Many schools have implemented strict mask mandates for children who returned to in-person instruction, though data have regularly indicated that children remain at very low risk for catching or spreading SARS-Cov-2.

There was a lot of then-conflicting data about masks but I am glad to see this confirm what we thought.
Fortunately it is moot here in N. Texas. Between the mall (the one of the few still thriving) and Walmart and other retail stores I may have seen 10 people in masks.
The only thing is people will probably not look askance at masks anymore. I wonder how long before they feature prominently in robbery sprees.
Just wash them.
Not a BFD.
They we washed and worn for five hours

It is a big deal if a child has a mask on for 6 hours a day. Would you eat potato salad left on a countertop at room temperature for 6 hours?
Basically, take a piece of paper, or cloth, spit in it (your breath contains moisture), rub your saliva into the material, then place it over your nose and mouth and breath in all that you breathe out for hours. No mystery why a mask turns into a Petri dish.
The silence from pediatricians, and particularly pulmonologists, has been deafening. (How can masking be good for developing lungs? And it must be especially damaging when children try to do PE wearing them.)
IMO, the most shocking part of the Plandemic, with regards to masking, exc... has been witnessing the callous disregard of (formerly respected) "medical professionals", for their patient's well being.
On another note- it will also not be surprising, if we come to find out that this masking of the entire citizenry, has done tremendous psychological damage to children, (and adults) as well. (Basic communication requires being able to read and react to facial expressions. How can that happen if faces are covered up?)
My 2 cents.
bttt
Like common sense doesn’t tell us that.
And? Those bacteria came from the environment, the air, the surfaces, the water, the dirt that children interact with. Swab their clothes, swab their hands or noses and you will find the bacteria.
I was calling them mobile petri dishes when this crap first started.

Totally concur from my own observations. It’s hard to “read” people when you can’t see them smile or frown in action to something you say. We’ve adapted thru millennia to read human faces as an important aspect of communication.
It could be psychologically damaging to a very young child if they can’t learn to “read” people’s faces because they were covered up for a year and a half. What will that do to their behavior long term?
You really don’t even know enough to know how idiotic your contributions are. If (big if) your CV on your profile is real and you’re not just some mental patient chewing Thorazine in your pajamas, the people who hired you for those positions should be hiding in shame from the world.
