Researchers Find Dangerous Bacteria on Kids’ Masks, Florida Schools Mandate Them Anyway
Are school mask mandates doing more harm than good? A study by UF researchers found 11 types of pathogens and bacteria on kids masks worn after only a day.
The burden of proof is on those who want to impose a burdensome intervention, not those who want to go about their lives normally. And the on-the-ground data shows that kids are not at additional risk and the masks aren’t doing anything to reduce transmission, but the facts haven’t seemed to matter this entire time.
