Masks are not mandatory now in classrooms in: UK, Iceland, Denmark, Sweden, Finland, Norway, Switzerland, Austria, Netherlands, Belgium (12 & under), Russia, Poland, Hungary, Bulgaria (up to 5th grade), most of South America, etc. Masking children in the U.S. isn't science.
Also remember: the World Health Organization does NOT recommend masking kids 0-5 years old in any circumstance, despite our unscientific CDC guidance wanting to mask up 2 year olds.
WHO says masking of kids 6-11 should follow a number of considerations. It is basically impossible to mandate mask wearing on an entire school and still take into account these factors appropriately.
I wish Nikki Fried and others shamelessly trying to force masks on kids would listen to WHO's overall advice:

Nikki Fried is pushing a baseless conspiracy theory and shamelessly cherry picking data to push her mask agenda. She wants to force kids into masks even though much of the world has realized that is a pointless exercise.

I will destroy her narratives and her agenda.
First, there was NO statistically significant difference in case rates in the 2020-21 school year in Florida between the 40 county districts with mandatory masking and the 27 who did not have a mask policy and no statistical difference in community rates.

medrxiv.org/content/10.110…
In real world data, where cases were adjusted to end of year enrollment, there was a difference in masking districts to unmasked difference of only a few children per 1,000 kids enrolled in-person.

Did Anthony Fauci lie when he said more children have died from the virus than ever have died from the flu? Unless you think he's an incompetent boob that didn't learn a thing in 50 years in public health (hold the jokes please), then yes. And I will demonstrate that here.
So far, there have been 439 deaths of children ages 0-17 *with* COVID-19 since the start of the pandemic. Remember, this is over 20 months -- the first of many important qualifiers.

2/3
From the CDC Wonder database, for multiple cause of death, here are the number of deaths ages 0-17 with flu for ICD-10 codes J09-J11 for types of influenza by year 2010-19.

So Fauci was telling the truth, right? Hold up. No, not even close.

Momentarily @GovRonDeSantis will be speaking on mABs. Some highlights:

* 25 state run monoclonal treatment sites
* Over 90,000 treatments provided so far
* 50% decrease in hospital admissions
* 24 consecutive days decline in census
* Lowest CLI visits to ER in almost 2 mos.
The Governor is pointing out Florida was also the first to do the first vaccine drive and going into nursing homes and high risk patients with strike teams.

Remember those days when Florida put #SeniorsFirst despite going against CDC guidance because they were most at-risk.
In addition, the Governor is noting that at some of the sites, over half of the people receiving mABs treatment had already been vaccinated. This is a treatment that can benefit people regardless of vaccination status. It's an additional layer of protection from severe disease.

This confirms what many of us have suspected. Very powerful data.
If this article is TL;DR for you, the RDV is this:

Study of over 50,000 COVID hospitalizations in VA hospitals. In 2020, about 36% were mild or asymptomatic as defined by blood oxygen levels >94 without supp oxygen. Through June 2021, 48% were considered mild/asymptomatic.
It makes sense 2021 is a higher rate. Remember I have been saying since Oct. 2020 that the HHS guidelines changed to include observation beds. People going to the ER to have sniffles checked out for >8 hours in a bed started counting in the numbers late in 2020.

I've been asking for more RCTs and thankfully we finally got one. The results were not at all what mask advocates wanted.

Results at face value:

* Cloth masks had no efficacy

* No significance for anyone under 50

* Total efficacy of... 11%

This was not flattering for masks
The Danish mask study estimated a midpoint efficacy of ~13%. The Waterloo mannequin study found ~10%. This RCT concluded ~11%.

Real world evidence show no statistical difference of mask mandates in FL schools. The data doesn't support forced school masking at all.
Apologize, meant to attach the study link to the thread:

I'm sorry but this appears to be complete and utter baloney. There is no evidence this is anything more than anecdotal propaganda.

Since the week ending July 3, there have been 10 deaths reported under 15 and 70 ages 15-24 so far. First two weeks of January were 19 and 71.

1/2
So perhaps there is still some reporting lag. So let's do rates.

Since July 3, COVID-19 accounts for 0.4% of deaths reported ages 0-14. It accounts for 2.2% ages 15-24.

In January, those numbers were 1.3% and 4.6%

We rate this MSNBC tweet as FALSE.
