Newer CDC Study Shows Masking Provides No Meaningful Reduction In Viral Transmission | American Academy Of Pediatrics Flip-Flops On Masking Kids | 867 Colleges Still Have Covid Vaccine Mandates
Here is what you likely missed over the last 24-hours. A resurfaced CDC masking study revealed nearly no benefit for those who masked against respiratory infections, AAP flip-flopped on masking kids, and new college data explained how many students will soon return to campuses with Covid vaccine mandates - find out which ones.
Start here, a newer study posted in CDC’s Emerging Infections Diseases journal May 2020 named Nonpharmaceutical Measures for Pandemic Influenza in Nonhealthcare Settings—Personal Protective and Environmental Measures, brought to light the truth about masking against respiratory viruses. That being, masking against influenza, like most small sized respiratory viruses including SARS-CoV-2, is ineffective at reducing transmission.
Next, AAP (American Academy of Pediatrics) said in 2018, kids with visual impairments are slower to develop than kids without visual impairments. To explain, if a child can not see an individual’s face clearly then the learning/communication experience becomes truncated, and therefore development is impeded. Fast-forward to 8/26/22, AAP said masking (which creates a visual barrier) does not impede language development - there is no meaningful data to support that claim. That means AAP is now politically flip-flopping on masking.
Now onto colleges. There are still over 800 colleges and academic degree granting institutes with COVID-19 vaccine mandates students will be returning to soon. Nonetheless, there is no science to suggests mandating healthy young college kids to boost reduces their risk severe disease + death, or campus transmission of the virus.
As always, the data is summarized for you below, but please review the sources yourself. Finally, do not forget to share this post with everyone you know by clicking “share” immediately below as this this publication contains valuable information most media outlets WILL NOT COVER.
A systematic review hosted by CDC of 10 RCTs revealed masking was ineffective against meaningfully reducing the transmission of respiratory influenza virus.
If masks work, why don’t they?

The other day, 8/26/22, AAP (American Academy of Pediatrics) said, “visually impaired children develop speech & language at the same rate". Therefore, the implication of the aforementioned statement was that masking kids, or adults, can not be associated with harms. Read the entire thread here:
Ironically, AAP’s own publication from 2018 in Developmental & Behavioral Pediatrics stated children "with severe visual impairments are slower to acquire adjectives and verbs". Contradiction. So what changed?
AAP has become a political arm and needs to be rebuilt.
Of the nearly 4,000 degree-granting colleges and universities in the U.S., 867 still have COVID vaccine mandates in place. This is poor policy because there is no data to show vaccinating healthy kids meaningfully reduces their risk of severe outcomes from COVID-19.
