People who think kids should continue to mask because that *feels* safer, despite contradicting all the advice from experts, are not really any different from all those people in Florida who refused to ever wear masks because freedom.
Either way, personal are substituting their own feelings for sound medical advice. |
Yep. Just as embarrassing and anti-science. |
Oh FFS. You have no clue what the actual, applicable data says. Many, many leading experts have criticized the CDC and its guidance, and recommended continued masking: Even the American Medical Association said the new isolation quarantine guidance was confusing and risked further spreading covid, and just last month urged continued masking. |
You are welcome to listen to these people and continue to mask so you can protect yourself. I will continue to not mask since I am vaccinated and just had COVID. I think it's insane that my vaccinated kid who also just had covid has to mask at school. No one is trying to stop people from masking, but may of us want the option to remove them because we feel like there is enough evidence to support it. Our charter will be the last place in America to drop masks. |
NP. That's quite a list of Covidian experts! Have they signed some sort of declaration, or have you pulled this from somebody's blog? And when do they think we can stop masking kids? Maybe never, since the virus isn't going away? If I had time for this, I could pull together a list of experts with equally impressive-sounding credentials who say we should never have masked children under 12, and certainly need to stop now. There are expert opinions on both sides, but the fact of the matter is that the US has always been alone in mandating masks for those under age 6, and the US is also one of the last countries to drop mask mandates for older children. So clearly the international expert consensus is that it's a bad idea at this point, given the complete absence of good evidence that these mandates work, and their obvious costs. |
DP. You may believe whatever you want, but there is NO high-quality data that says mask mandates in schools work. None. The best data we have (the study from Spain) shows that they don't. So please stop pontificating by way of hints that there is data to show we need to continue to impose mask mandates on kids. There isn't any that isn't highly confounded. |
Now post a list of experts who deny climate change. This group is just as far outside the mainstream. Sad this is what our schools have become. |
Yeah - Gonsalves believes in forever masking. |
Gonsalves and Ellie Murray are borderline deranged. Seriously, spend 5 minutes on their twitter feeds. Tells you something that these people sit at the commanding heights of academic epidemiology. |
Nobody is impressed by lists like this anymore. I am impressed by scientific consensus, not a list that you pulled off of a blog somewhere with like, HIV experts giving their opinions on coronavirus epidemiology. |
Like what? I haven’t found the Twitter feed |
A two for one link: https://twitter.com/epiellie/status/1512413470393868288?s=21&t=zZbsBffo-EQPIQZOUhdSOQ |
That’s a 3 for 1 since she tagged Ed Yong who is also borderline deranged |
Nah, Yong is just extremely ambitious and has found a lane he can dine out on for the rest of his career. |
| LAMB grants exceptions to its mask mandate. You have to ask and give them a reason. They dont advertise the fact that they give exceptions, but they do. |
