Schools reinstate mask mandates as COVID cases rise, but do they really protect students?

Fox News contributor Dr. Marty Makary criticized school districts for reinstating mask mandates in classrooms as COVID cases rise, openly defying numerous studies that show there is no benefit to universal masking.

Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and Providence, Rhode Island are two of the cities that are reinstating mask mandates at school for children as young as five-years-old.

“Does wearing a mask in class protect five-year-olds?” the Johns Hopkins University professor was bluntly asked on “Fox News Live.”

“I’m really concerned that these school districts going back to universal masking are defiant of a lot of the new research that has come out. Now, last year, we had two randomized control trials that basically suggested there was no benefit to universal masking. But in the last few months, we’ve got the Spanish study, the Finnish study that very elegantly compared school districts, and in the United States on Thursday we got a big study from the University of California Davis that looked at so many counties, it was very obvious from the sample size and the power that there was clearly no benefit,” Makary noted.

“Now, what’s important is that they reexamined the data from a CDC study that was used to recommend masks in schools. They looked at more counties, a longer follow-up period, and found that the CDC study that concluded schools should mask was flawed and that is important because masks do have some harm. And let’s be honest, 75 percent of kids have had COVID as of February, since Omicron has been circulating, it’s likely 80 to 90 percent,” he added.

He continued as he addressed the CDC’s guidelines and handling of mandates, “There’s been several areas of dogma in science where public health officials should have simply told the public, ‘We don’t know.’ When people were asking us questions, public health officials should have said, ‘We don’t know if it’s a surface-transmitted virus when they told people to wash their hands like crazy or stay at home with universality.”

“And perhaps the biggest catastrophic mistake was calling for the closure of schools and telling people to mask universally at that young age. The data is now pretty clear and the CDC puts out their own dogma in their medical journal that they control called MMWR and many people have been critical because it uses science as political propaganda,” he asserted.

When asked if we should be forgiving because the CDC guidance changed so often and so much, Makary stated, “No, and here’s why… if they don’t know if it’s airborne or surface transmission, do the study. The NIH has 45 billion dollars. In 24 hours, that could have been answered. Instead, they let that open question linger with no clinical date from the government for months and people were given the wrong message and the false assurance that if they washed their hands like crazy, they would not transmit the virus to their vulnerable, older companions.”

He wrapped up by commenting on the CDC reportedly saying that 1 in 5 Americans could develop long-haul, long-COVID.

“The incidence has been described under five percent in many studies, but they make such a narrow definition and the study was flawed because they looked at any other reason you came to the hospital and they only looked at people who got tested in a hospital setting. Those are high-risk people,” he asserted.

“Many scientists now are highly critical and have told people to disregard this study. There’s another study that came out last week that got almost no attention on most of the networks and it showed that there were no biochemical indicators of long-COVID. It’s a small subgroup of people and the only predictor was pre-COVID anxiety as to who developed long-COVID,” Makary concluded.

  1. The lies revealed are stunning. Dr Naomi Wolf
    The WarRoom/DailyClout Volunteers have confirmed: that Pfizer (and thus the FDA) knew by December 2020 that the MRNA vaccines did not work — that they “waned in efficacy” and presented “vaccine failure.” One side effect of getting vaccinated, as they knew by one month after the mass 2020 rollout, was “COVID.”
    Pfizer knew in May of 2021 that 35 minors’ hearts had been damaged a week after MRNA injection — but the FDA rolled out the EUA for teens a month later anyway, and parents did not get a press release from the US government about heart harms til August of 2021, after thousands of teens were vaccinated. Pfizer (and thus the FDA; many of the documents say “FDA: CONFIDENTIAL” at the lower boundary) knew that, contrary to what the highly paid spokesmodels and bought-off physicians were assuring people, the MRNA, spike protein and lipid nanoparticles did not stay in the injection site in the deltoid, but rather went, within 48 hours, into the bloodstream, from there to lodge in the liver, spleen, adrenals, lymph nodes, and, if you are a woman, in the ovaries. /internal-pfizer-documents-prove-knowledge-that-lipid-nanoparticles-in-mice-subjects-do-not-remain-in-muscle-but-were-shown-to-be-rapidly-distributed-in-the-blood-to-the-liver/]

    1. Funny I just posted actual facts from Pfizer documents, it posted then removed in a blink of an eye. Check out findings from Naomi Wolf.

  4. This site is becoming an ad platform for these lying mfers about how much they can make sitting on their lazy ASSES . ILL STOP GOING TO THIS STUPID CRAP SITE

  5. Dumbocrats just hate children! They murder as many millions as possible pre-birth, drive-by shoot-up as many more as possible in the blue cities, indoctrinate them with horrible “ideals” in school while teaching them they are victims if they’re black or brown and oppressors if they’re white, and they can be any gender they please. But they better not believe in God or bring him to school! Now they want to continue the child abuse that’s run rampant since the fake chinese flu scamdemic. Parents need to stand up harder, or just plain take your kids out of public school.

    1. Dims hit the weakest first the young, then elderly, the mentally ill, the homeless, the lower class, minorities and so on guess what will happen if we didn’t have guns and the 2nd amendment. Our government has been at war with us for decades. We have a uniparty!

  6. The disease from China with no symptoms that you have to use a test kit made in CHINA to find out if you have it. What’s wrong with this picture?

  7. Every mandate is a test of power by the ruling class over the proletariat. If safety was the rationale, the s#it they do would make sense.
