DeSantis blasts CDC for K-12 mask recommendation: 'It isn't based in science'

[Darth Omar]

So prove it.

Not his job.

It’s the job of people advocating mask mandates to prove that the mandates work. After over a year of ‘lab study’ mask mandates seem to work—except when they don’t. DeSantis is right just like he was right when he led the country in opening up.

He made the claim.

The politician making the claim should offer support, Death Santis is fighting for the dumb shit vote, because it worked for Trump.

Trump.

Wrong, politician’s mandating public mask wearing need to prove, unequivocally, that the mandates work—or they will just be ignored.

[Darth Omar]

Death Santis is killing his own voters.

Biden is killing more of them with his border non-policy that allows infected foreigners into the country.

For some odd reason, democrats don’t want to acknowledge that. Politics, I suppose.

Apparently DeSantis has got no problems with counting bodies, and also, who is going to pay for all the hospital bills of the simpletons who foolishly chose not to be vaccinated??????????

What bodies? What hospital bills?

[Into the Night]

I'm glad Dr. Death has stepped in to straighten out the CDC. He sure is doing a great job managing the pandemic, isn't he?

LOL at you, traitor.

Disagreeing with the CDC is not treason, dumbass.

only a stupid fuck trump bitch believes masks do not work to slow down if not end most covid transmission. dumbass hick trump voters believe any bullshit trump or desantis spews out.

We extend previous studies on the impact of masks on COVID-19 outcomes by investigating an unprecedented breadth and depth of health outcomes, geographical resolutions, types of mask mandates, early versus later waves and controlling for other government interventions, mobility testing rate and weather. We show that mask mandates are associated with a statistically significant decrease in new cases (-3.55 per 100K), deaths (-0.13 per 100K), and the proportion of hospital admissions (-2.38 percentage points) up to 40 days after the introduction of mask mandates both at the state and county level. These effects are large, corresponding to 14% of the highest recorded number of cases, 13% of deaths, and 7% of admission proportion. We also find that mask mandates are linked to a 23.4 percentage point increase in mask adherence in four diverse states. Given the recent lifting of mandates, we estimate that the ending of mask mandates in these states is associated with a decrease of -3.19 percentage points in mask adherence and 12 per 100K (13% of the highest recorded number) of daily new cases with no significant effect on hospitalizations and deaths. Lastly, using a large novel survey dataset of 847 thousand responses in 69 countries, we introduce the novel results that community mask adherence and community attitudes towards masks are associated with a reduction in COVID-19 cases and deaths. Our results have policy implications for reinforcing the need to maintain and encourage mask-wearing by the public, especially in light of some states starting to remove their mask mandates.

So you are saying your own vaccination does not work. You are also saying that your own mask does not work. You are afraid of someone with covid19.

[Trumpet]

What bodies? What hospital bills?

Why ask totally stupid questions you stupid fuck.

DeSantis continues to hide numbers from the people of Florida. Despite having more than 10K cases PER DAY last week, Florida continues to refuse to release daily numbers, numbers of deaths, testing rates, or other data vital to combatting the virus. DeSantis should be arrested for negligence.

Random numbers. It is not illegal too discount random numbers.

[Into the Night]

It isn't based in science. There is no indication that areas with mask mandates have performed any better than areas without mask mandates.

Because masks are completely ineffective against viruses.

[Into the Night]

So prove it.

See the N95 specification.

Why is Death Santis always in the side of more Covid exposure, not less?

Masks do not prevent covid19 exposure. They do not prevent exposure to any virus.

[Into the Night]

Because he thinks he can win the presidency with an anti-science stance. It is not about healthcare. It is about politics. He wants to step in where Trump once was. He does not care if people get sick or die.

Not wearing a mask does not make someone get sick or die.

[Into the Night]

He hoped that between vaccinating the elderly and hiding the numbers, the political fallout would not catch up to him. DeSantis knows what last weeks numbers look like. He is shitting his pants, because eventually he has to make them public. My best guess is that the numbers will show Florida with well over 100K cases in a single week. Florida is a disaster.

Argument from randU fallacy. You are making up numbers again.
