Evidence to back that up? |
|
By:
The evidence, recently made public by the UK Department for Education, shows the justification for the new mask rule relied on data collected during October 2021 when cases were surging because of the Delta variant. Researchers examined 123 UK schools who enforced mask mandates and compared them to 1,200 schools that did not, and the results were statistically insignificant.

By:
You should have read it more carefully--
Evidence shows that face coverings can contribute to reducing transmission of COVID- 19 primarily by reducing the emission of virus-carrying particles when worn by an infected person. The direct COVID-19 health risks to children and young people are very low. Own goal I think. |
|
By:
Hardly. This was the UK government desperate to introduce mask mandates for political reasons. The actual data shows that the proportion of covid positives were exactly the same in those kids forced to wear them, and not.
|
|
By:
Schools with mask mandates saw their average absence rate fall by 2.3 percent to 3 percent over three weeks, according to the study. Schools without masks mandates saw the absent rate fall by 1.7 percent to 3.6 percent.
“There is a level of statistical uncertainty around the result,” researchers admitted. No schit ![]() |

JML , from these increased numbers the ages will be known. Certainly there are more reports these days.
|
|
By:
If you were struggling to cope with this realisation, or in any way unsure, this is a direct quote from the study.
Prior to weighting, the schools in the treatment group have a wider spread of COVID-19 absence rates compared to the control group. After weighting, the spread of COVID-19 absence rates in the control group is more similar to that of the treatment group, creating a more like-for-like comparison for the difference-in-differences analysis. |

Howard FFS you can do better than that. |

It's always extremely telling how the people who claim to have the 'science' behind them, quickly regress to the juvenile name calling and personal attacks. Just the data will do, lol.

Even masks made from simple cotton fabrics are predicted to
reduce transmission of respiratory viruses, unless transmission is dom- inated by sub-micrometer droplets. As masks are cheap, and wearing a mask is a relatively minor inconvenience compared to contracting SARS-CoV-2, recommending mask use is a simple way to reduce transmission. https://aip.scitation.org/doi/pdf/10.1063/5.0047622 From the material in your link |

Don't you f"cking listen----you've already provided the data yourself.

The face nappies will be distraught (or more likely, the people producing them @ 95% mark up will be)

I think what has happened here is that Cider (again) has read a paragraph from some loony twitter clown and (again) not bother to read all the material.

By:
This is from the actual report, dave. Can you cope with interpreting this?
Prior to weighting, the schools in the treatment group have a wider spread of COVID-19 absence rates compared to the control group |
|
By:
It looks like your link is a technical analysis of the construction of various face coverings. It is absolutely not a randomised real world trial, and has no real world data to interpret.
|

By:
Dave--I'd like to see the data on how many of these conspiracy theorists have sad lonely lifes with zero prospects.
Easy pickings for the likes of David Icke. |

By:
If someone sitting opposite me has a cold, covid, flu or similar and is coughing, spluttering and sneezing all over the place it surely doesn't need a scientific study to prove I'd be less likely to be infected if both our faces are covered.
|
|
By:
haha, well the accusation that covid jabs didn't stop you getting covid was a conspiracy theory. Golden times, eh.
Are you still wearing face coverings in public, JML? To protect the public, not yourself. |

You don't need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows.

What the f*ck are you on about now? |
|
By:
We don't live in a lab though, swifty. If you are someone prone to catching colds, as many are, you'll get your annual cold, face covering or not. Leading a normal life will mean you'll probably come into contact with some type of respiratory infection dozens of times a year. All the kids going to school will catch whatever is going around, masked up or not.
|
|
By:
Cider you aren't going to explode if you admit that facemasks reduce the transmission of droplets that can be potentially infectious.
|
|
By:
How many times can I repeat the same question. Show me the data from a real world randomised trial, that proves the hypothesis.
|
|
By:
Dave--Cider is another who would never admit to being wrong about anything.
|
|
By:
Spot on, Swifty. Imagine this as a question in some health and safety test….
Do you think wearing a face mask would… A) Reduce the risk of spreading infection B) Increase the risk of spreading infection C) Make no difference I’m no scientist but know which answer I’d pick. |

70 million people all getting individual fittings for their masks, as required for N95 etc
GOOD LUCK WITH THAT |

let's be generous, say using a face mask technically reduces the risk of each interaction with a respiratory virus by 50%. The same odds as tossing tails on a fair coin. but you have to toss the coin 20 times a year, and get tails each time. which out of your option, A,B and C would you now pick? |

Nearly three years on from when this sh*tshow and scamdemic started, such was the power of the psy-op job done on the population by these evil psychopaths, that supposedly grown men are still pushing for others to wear face nappies, to make themselves feel safer.
Weak men, who have allowed themselves to be walked all over, for a disease with a 99.9% survival rate and an average average of death of 83. Economy destroyed, NHS destroyed, Childrens' futures destroyed. You are an embarrassment to the human race. PATHETIC! |
