    Masks Didn't Slow COVID Spread: New Study.....

    New findings reported Tuesday in a University of Louisville study challenge what has been the prevailing belief that mask mandates are necessary to slow the spread of the Wuhan coronavirus. The study notes that "80% of US states mandated masks during the COVID-19 pandemic" and while "mandates induced greater mask compliance, [they] did not predict lower growth rates when community spread was low (minima) or high (maxima)." Among other things, the study—conducted using data from the CDC covering multiple seasons—reports that "mask mandates and use are not associated with lower SARS-CoV-2 spread among US states."

    @kerpen





    The first ecological study of state mask mandates and use to include winter data:"Case growth was independent of mandates at low and high rates of community spread, and mask use did not predict case growth during the Summer or Fall-Winter waves."https://medrxiv.org/content/10.110

    "Our findings do not support the hypothesis that SARS-CoV-2 transmission rates decrease with greater public mask use," notes the U of L report. Researchers stated that "masks may promote social cohesion as rallying symbols during a pandemic, but risk compensation can also occur" before listing some observed risks that accompany mask wearing:


    The study also noted that the mandates put in place by many states in line with CDC guidance at the time were "poor predictors of COVID-19 spread," according to the research:


    In summary, mask mandates and use were poor predictors of COVID-19 spread in US states. Case growth was independent of mandates at low and high rates of community spread, and mask use did not predict case growth during the Summer or Fall-Winter waves. Strengths of our study include using two mask metrics to evaluate association with COVID-19 growth rates; measuring normalized case growth in mandate and non-mandate states at comparable times to quantify the likely effect of mandates; and deconvolving the effect of mask use by examining case growth in states with variable mask use.....snip~

    How long before Big Tech censors them? As this goes completely against what Democrats and Fauci had to say. What leftists connipted about.

    I figured once all the Hype and Fear died down we would suddenly find the data that told the true story and expose some of the LIES!

    No, I merely pointed out that Phil is not exactly a neutral source. Disagree?

    So what he isnt a Neutral source. Just because everybody else is reporting on it. Does it mean he can't?

    Oh and he tweeted about it. Townhall just reported on the Study and Showed his Tweet about it.

    Nope? People still read and believe the stories in the National Enquirer.

    Anything that doesn't fit your take, is labeled fake news. Where did you pick that up? Never mind. "Alternative facts", which we all know, are the best they can be...for alternative facts.

    You can always go by the polls on the Lame Stream Media. Polling less than Politicians. Thats bad.


    Oh, I like using leftist sources when they get something Right to debunk leftists. Causes more conniption for leftists.


    But maybe you can make up a new science about it.
