LOL!

Nancy Pelosi and Barack Obama know, they said "fuck that!" to masks and social distancing, and the left didn't make a peep. Haha!


A recent New York magazine article states that the science on masks "remains uncertain," but noted the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in May published a large-scale study of COVID transmission in US schools.

The study, which analyzed some 90,000 elementary students in 169 Georgia schools from November 16 to December 11, found that there was no statistically significant difference in schools that required students to wear masks compared to schools where masks were optional.

“The 21% lower incidence in schools that required mask use among students was not statistically significant compared with schools where mask use was optional,” the CDC said. "This finding might be attributed to higher effectiveness of masks among adults, who are at higher risk for SARS-CoV-2 infection but might also result from differences in mask-wearing behavior among students in schools with optional requirements."

As New York magazine’s David Zweig noted, these findings, as well as other statistically insignificant preventive measures, “cast doubt on the impact of many of the most common mitigation measures in American schools.”

Interesting how your Libertarian source does not bother to provide a link to the CDC guidence. I wonder why.

Never mind. Here is what they actually say


Stop trying to kill people! You have blood on your hands!

School kids are impacted differently by the coronavirus than adults.

You'd have to look at the impact on the community, when looking at masks in schools or not.
