[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Seems like some people really don't want to believe masks work.  I haven't read this study but it's different from the Arkansas study cited 2 pages ago which did show causality and showed masks worked pretty definitively.  YMMV.  [/quote]

Seems like some people really want to believe masks work, no matter what the science.

Bahaha - at least you admit you don't read the studies.  If you read the AAP study, you'd have seen that there was actually much more COVID in schools with masks.

The Arkansas study is not peer-reviewed.  No contol group, and once again used a model.  MMWR's are published to back government policy, not be independent analyses. If they don't get the result the CDC wants, they won't get published.  See AAP study too, which you love to cite - the incidence of COVID in mask required schools was much higher than in mask optional.

No, if you want to do a study, you have an actual control group.  There's been 2 large RCTs with control groups on masks, both of which showed cloth and surgical masks don't work (surgical only did for those over 50 in a pre-vaccine world, and it prevented a whopping 18 cases out of 50,000+ people).

Here's a new mask study in schools in Spain with a control group - surprise, surprise, masks didn't work - consistent with the few other mask studies with actual control groups:
