The Latest: CDC: Studies show masks lessen school outbreaks
The Associated Press ^ | 9/24/2021 | The Associated Press

The Center for Disease Control and Prevention data from the new K-12 school year bolster the agency’s recommendation for masks in schools and in-person classes.

One study in two Arizona counties found coronavirus outbreaks were almost four times more common at public schools without mask mandates on the first day than at those that re-opened with a masking requirement.

Another study found case rates in children and teens increased more in U.S. counties where public schools had no mask mandates than in those where schools had that requirement. These studies lacked data on other measures that could have influenced the results.

A third study counted 1,801 coronavirus-related school closures through mid-September, most of them in the South, where many schools opened earlier than those in other regions.

You betcha.

I will stick with the Danish randomized control trial of roughly 5,000 participants from last year that found no statistically significant benefit of wearing a mask.

No, masks don’t lessen outbreaks. I know, because I did a survey and my survey is as believable as the CDC survey. The CDC has lost its Gravitas.

I have a feeling that Center for Disease Control studies will generally say what the Center for Disease Control wants them to say.

Sort of like “Congressional investigations.”

The CDC has lost all credibility. Too bad.

If the info comes from the AP or CDC, that is all the sheep need to hear.

We got a call from the CDC today, wanting to ask us some questions, emphasizing how important it was for the health of the nation, particularly the children.

I told him in no uncertain terms…short of telling him to pound sand…that we did not trust the government and would not answer any of his questions, and to put us on the do-not-call list.

OK then.

“...on the first day than at those that re-opened with a masking requirement.”

Huh? First day vs a “re-opening”. A they sure they understand comparisons?

[...]

“These studies lacked data on other measures that could have influenced the results.”

I see, it’s “Here’re our results, although the results are meaningless.”

An AP report on a CDC study. What else could you possibly need to learn why this 18-month period of government sanction child abuse by irrationally frightened adults is not only justified, but encouraged? Bullying reigns in today’s America! HUZZAH!

They’ve cut school outbreaks in half! Down from .00001% to .000005%.

🤣🤣🤣
