The politicization of face masks

[FONT=&quot]“In updated guidance for the 2021-22 school year, the American Academy of Pediatrics strongly recommends in-person learning and urges all who are eligible to be vaccinated to protect against COVID-19.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]In addition to vaccinations, the AAP recommends a layered approach to make school safe for all students, teachers and staff in the guidance here. That includes a recommendation that everyone older than age 2 wear masks, regardless of vaccination status. The AAP also amplifies the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s recommendations for building ventilation, testing, quarantining, cleaning and disinfection in the updated guidance.”[/FONT]

organizational statements are nearly always lies.

Does that mean doctors and nurses in operating rooms don't need to wear masks?

Correct. No need to.

Intelligent response. As usual, no answer to the question.

The people who won't follow their doctor's recommendation (and that of President Trump) to get the vaccine seem ok to let that same doctor treat him if he contracts the virus.

At the end of May, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention published a notable, yet mostly ignored, large-scale study of COVID transmission in American schools. A few major news outlets covered its release by briefly reiterating the study’s summary: that masking then-unvaccinated teachers and improving ventilation with more fresh air were associated with a lower incidence of the virus in schools. Those are common-sense measures, and the fact that they seem to work is reassuring but not surprising.

Other findings of equal importance in the study, however, were absent from the summary and not widely reported.

These findings cast doubt on the impact of many of the most common mitigation measures in American schools. Distancing, hybrid models, classroom barriers, HEPA filters, and, most notably, requiring student masking were each found to not have a statistically significant benefit. In other words, these measures could not be said to be effective.

In the realm of science and public-health policy outside the U.S., the implications of these particular findings are not exactly controversial. Many of America’s peer nations around the world — including the U.K., Ireland, all of Scandinavia, France, the Netherlands, Switzerland, and Italy — have exempted kids, with varying age cutoffs, from wearing masks in classrooms.

Conspicuously, there’s no evidence of more outbreaks in schools in those countries relative to schools in the U.S., where the solid majority of kids wore masks for an entire academic year and will continue to do so for the foreseeable future. These countries, along with the World Health Organization, whose child-masking guidance differs substantially from the CDC’s recommendations, have explicitly recognized that the decision to mask students carries with it potential academic and social harms for children and may lack a clear benefit.

Good article on masks in public schools from New York Magazine.

The upshot: the CDC withheld information from its own summary that concluded there was no statistically significant benefit to school mask mandate.

Secondly, since the UK and some other European countries don’t give two political shits one way or the other about masking kids, they simply follow the science and hence, no mask mandates in their schools.

Why does the CDC have a dog in the fight? This also raises the question of how much of our Covid ‘science’ has been corrupted by political or ideological agendas?

Yes indeed it is politics. Bama's politics to be specific. To be laser pinpoint bull's eye....Alinski rules for radicals specific. Bama finally got his 3rd crack at it all.
We have to have multiple hot potatoes being juggled for maximum effect. And, each must produce fear and chaos in the masses. So, we have race-bating,
a world-wide 'renamed' flu, forced isolation plus experimental drugs and face diapers of which neither are effective and now war and/or terrorist troubles.
Once the fear and chaos are created, then the same instigators in the Gubment can exact control over the easily led fearful minds. It always works.
