1/@DrBonnieHenry @adriandix @bcedplan. All of the Zero Covid folks are jumping on this new non-peer reviewed paper to try to bully you into masking kids all day at school. Please show some leadership and stay the course.
2/This is a poorly constructed study, and if any of the people pushing it had actually read it, the statistical difference between mask/non mask is negligible at best (despite the fact that the data is likely cherry picked). Consider the Scandinavian countries experience instead.
3/Keep in mind this data was collected during the more deadly first wave.
4/Masking children is not harmless physically or psychologically.
5/I live in a province with draconian child mask laws. I have seen the negative effects first hand. Please don't pander to parents who have been indoctrinated w/irrational fear, teachers unions or the Zero Covid lobby. Follow the science and do what's best for BC's kids.

1/Question: Why is everyone connected with @UofT_dlsph so obsessed with getting kids to wear masks all-day (and now all summer)? Recklessly, they have not presented a risk analysis to evaluate potential harms. Here is another non-peer reviewed paper from Bassani.
2/We know that all-day masking of kids is not innocuous. Masks come with their own risks of poor health and psychological outcomes. I have seen first hand the impact that masks are having on non-verbal communication and socialization of kids and youth.
3/We also know that children and teachers (or councilors)
handle C19 well. LTC, the very elderly and those with end of life conditions should be the focus, not kids or young adult camp councilors.

1/I am sure that someone a lot smarter than me (and Dr. "just put some cortisone cream on it" Iannattone) can poke a million holes in the statement below and the non-peer reviewed study quoted. 1st, the charts indicate nearly no statistical difference between mask/no mask wearing
2/At their most divergent, (fraudulent PCR test) cases are approx. 5/1000 students (masked) versus approx. 7.5/1000 students (unmasked) Image
3/At their most divergent, deaths are approx. 0.12/1000 students (masked) versus 0.17/1000 students (unmasked) Image

1/@IrfanDhalla appears to have a couple of decades in health sciences education, but seemingly cannot interpret basic data, such as identifying where the C19 crisis is occurring and where it isn't. (Ottawa Health):
2/Reinforced by this age-stratification chart (Health Canada)
3/And this all-cause death data (Statistics Canada)
All-Cause deaths ON Jan-Aug 2019: 71035
All-Cause deaths ON Jan-Aug 2020: 70685

Now that schools are open, it's time to start talking about ending mandatory mask mandates, particularly in schools.

2/In March, C19 talking heads like Fauci, Tam, etc publicly (and correctly) stated that NM masks were ineffective at preventing the spread of ILIs outside of controlled settings, and could make matters worse with contamination/poor hygiene habits.
3/Later, mandates were successfully pushed by well-connected lobbyists associated with the ZeroCovid movement who were given an unopposed platform in the MSM. An end to lockdowns and massive case reductions were promised "if only 80% of people wore a mask"

1/So can we officially call ZeroCovid a religion (or cult if you prefer)? The order of the Zero Covidians?
"Zero Covid isn't a promise but a destination" Praise Fauci. Awoman.
2/Every kool-aid saturated country seems to have one of these groups now, with ties to the usual suspects, using the same talking points. The goal is not to eliminate C19 (this is impossible), but to destroy remaining businesses non-compliant with the "build back better" economy Image
3/More importantly, this is the final push to demoralize the population into accepting (permanently) whatever conditions are imposed to get back some semblance of what was considered "normal life". This is really that last chance to say no.

Why does Ontario have (by far) the strictest masking policy for school children in Canada? The majority of provinces allow masks to be removed while seated at desks, and while outside.
@Roman_Baber @anthonyfurey
2/Imagine a 6 year old having to put on a mask when they get on the bus in the morning and not be able to take it off until they get off the bus in the evening (except for a few minutes while eating). How clean will that mask be at the end of the day?
3/Even if you are pro-masking kids (!), having them wear masks outside in the winter makes the mask extremely damp, thereby removing all effectiveness as source control and exposing the child to bacterial load. All-day masking risks have not been evaluated
