Wrong. Same viral interference phenomenon happened everywhere in the world, regardless of mask usage or non-usage. And the other viruses started to rise whenCOV2 peaked, in January -- masks firmly on.
U.S. biofire data. Look what happens from COV2 peak.

This is new peak anti-child, anti-science evil; masks did jack taco for COVID but let's pretend they are why we skipped a flu season -- and bring them back on that basis. Unreal.
Of course, we *know* masks don't stop flu.
The Ding Dong endorsement, definitive proof of how completely wrong this article is!
I don't know if the @BostonGlobe is stupid or lying, but HCoVs reappeared right at the January COVID peak in the ~100% masked northeast, per CDC.

Even in countries that never used them! Revere their power!
Same thing happened last pandemic; masks then too?

A Group Of Parents Sent Their Kids' Face Masks To A Lab For Analysis. Here's What They Found townhall.com/tipsheet/scott…
They didn't find viruses, because respiratory aerosols are too small and go right through or around.
The bacterial and fungal growth is from the moist environment created by masking, in contrast to the shirt tested. It's not everywhere.

Yahoo! of all places just clowned @RWalensky for her reckless false claims about kids.

Shorter Walensky: who needs science? White House politicals and the teachers unions keep me on a short leash.
I got nothing else, so here's an idiotic "vectors" claim debunked for over a year. Except even stupider now because everyone vulnerable has been offered vaccination.

The only thing CDC has been consistent about is their insane anti-children, anti-science take on everything. Disgraceful.

CDC says a lot of stupid and nonsensical things.

Maybe somebody in your teachers union understands basic arithmetic enough to explain this to you.

Even if the vaccines are 97% effective, the mortality risk for an unvaccinated child is lower than for vaccinated adults over 30.
Teachers unions demanded closures and masks long after it had been crystal clear COVID risk to kids was near zero. Because they could (though seldom did) infect adults.

Now all the adults have been offered vaccination! Enough!
And "the CDC says" from the same entity that corrupted the February schools guidance, overruling science with politics. I mean, really???

This maniac still issuing absurd anti-child anti-science dictates.

This makes absolutely zero sense.

Even if the vaccines are 97% effective, the mortality risk for an unvaccinated child is lower than for vaccinated adults over 30.
And masking kids never been evidence-based anyway: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/ap…
Unvaccinated children are at even lower risk than nearly all vaccinated adults.

There is no "infect grandma" scare story because she's been vaccinated.

There is no scientific case for anything but normal school.
