Numerous studies have shown that wearing a mask in public indoor spaces can provide greater protection against COVID-19 and other airborne viruses, but not many studies have been able to directly compare the results of schools having mask mandates to those that removed them.
Only two school districts — Boston and Chelsea — decided to keep their masking requirements in place through June 2022, providing a perfect opportunity for researchers to compare the incidence rate between schools that mandated masks and those that didn’t., tracked 72 school districts in the greater Boston area for 15 weeks after the statewide mask mandate was lifted.
Schools that lifted their mask mandate in the first week had the highest COVID-19 incidence level among staff of all districts, while schools that lifted their masking mandate in the second week had the highest incidence level among students by themselves, as well as students and staff combined. At the same time, the other districts were experiencing 15-25 weekly cases per 100 students, around 50-150 per cent higher.
How about the number of cases of social anxiety and depression because of masking children?
CTVNews is....
And if they had Ben doing thar forever they would have seen less of everything! Kids had to keep hands from mouth! They washed more!
CTV is like communist china media, all propaganda and fake news,
Can't find what you're not looking for. Statistics can be easily manipulated. Many studies indicate masking is only minimally effective when using an properly fitted n-95. There's no way the kids were doing that.
Dr Moore and his colleagues need to heed the oath that they took: 'First, do no harm.'
I’d love to know how many kids in our school haven’t already had covid and worked on their natural immunity? Mine are over it faster then any flu I ever had as a child.
See Sweden
Study is absolutely garbage.
Masks are hurting the kids instead of helping them.
Lies
Lies, unbelievable the bull that the put out. What study? Who did this study? How many schools? Which schools? No details only a headline . After two years of this half baked reporting - no thanks. Show me facts.
That's not what we saw in Quebec. The vast majority of outbreaks were in schools, where everyone was wearing a mask ALL DAY long. They don't do 💩.
LIARS
Not true…. Nice try this is MISINFORMATION!!!
Look at Sweden 🇸🇪 then tell me what we did in Canada was anything but criminal.Quit taking PM we Jed money and do your jobs as journalists.
who cares? kids fight this virus off easily
If true - which I highly doubt, it’s quite likely because in the schools that “mandated” it, 50% of the parents kept their kids home.
Scumbag rag. You are despicable
Thoroughly debunked study
Wow masked up and Ip to 5 boosters and still this so what’s not working the masks the V or both?
well i guess that poll didn't do so well. time to put out some articles to influence public
And they are likely all the ones that currently have the kids filling up children's hospitals with RSV.
How many of these fake stories are you going to push? I've seen at least 20 of them in the last few days. We know this is fake. We have nearly 3 years of real world data to prove it. Stop already. You're embarrassing yourself.
The critical response
Nonsense
You are citing a fundamentally flawed study that hasn’t been peer reviewed 🙄
MasksDontWork , 167 studies proved it.
Lies
“Survey finds 7/10 Canadians want a zero covid policy and to allow the police enforce it by beating people who don’t wear a mask like they do in China.”
No they didn’t. Now poll which kids got sick after vaccination
Doubtful. Study paid for by...?
I wear it when in enclosed and crowded places. I have done it for almost 3 yrs….so far it’s working for me!
There was plenty of Covid going around in school this time last year WITH mask mandates everywhere. Last year it was because not enough people had shots and boosters, this year it's masks. All comes down to fucken GREED $$$$$
And it stopped the spread including the lockdown
If you read the actual study it indicates that for a while only students who were in schools that did not have mask mandates were subjected to testing until January 2022. The kids with masks weren’t being randomly tested.
CTV is evil
LIES
Everything is a lie people.I just spoke to a specialist that does surgery at sick kids its lies media is lying again call the hospitals yourself you will see its lies.they tool away children medicine so they when they get sick they make up overwhelmed hospital fordnation right?
Schools who does not have mask mandates also have lower numbers of COVID as well. So stop trying to scare everyone or shame others for not believing in the news media
just because you repeat it often doesn’t make it true
I can see you are going to run this propaganda piece numerous times today. Next.
Wow !!! You advertise this for the 3rd time in last 8 hours. Must be a good paying advertisement eh !!!! But Canadians know MASKS DONT WORK
BS
Yeah.....no they didn't.
Fake news.
All studies support whatever the Nazi WEF wants for us
The amount of MSM posting and pressure to support reimplementing mask mandates is actually alarming. Zero consideration or thought into not implementing them back. We are literally governed by select polls and the media …anyone against it be damned.
False
CTV $$$CIENCE
Up next in breaking news: water is wet.
You can extrapolate for other respiratory illnesses that are no where near as contagious as COVID.
was the study sponsored by the same person that sponsors ctv... moderna? we all know youre trudeau news propaganda and ndp/liberal/wef puppet party keeps the lights on
More Bull💩 from CTVNN as usual.
How many others read CTV headlines the same way you use to read Mad TV comics?
That's about as true as the 'experimental injections' (they're not vaccines) stop transmission.
Both of them Go away fake news leader!!
More CTV propaganda
Hahaha says the credible CTV
seriously stop with the disgusting fake narrative.
Nonsense…..and you know it.
CTVs check is in the mail for pushing Liberal agenda.
That study is irredeemably flawed.
🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡
Lies
Not this 'journalist' again. Same one who said it was ok to mask 4 month olds. Try actually being a journalist and researching the issues with studies instead of just copy and pasting. A 5 year old could do better.
Ya and now they are filling our hospitals. Good work, science-virologist-doctor-teacher-politician Experts. These poor souls got the worst of the trials.
Official? Lol
Covid is not harmful to children. The developmental delays caused by masking are extremely harmful to them. Not to mention the psychological damage from making kids think that every human is nothing more than a disease spreader. Your fake news organization is a disgrace
Tell the full story most of the children had a herd immunity because they were unvaccinated that's the key. We are in this situation because of the masks, children were not exposed to any viruses and germs and that is the problem they couldn't build-up any immunity.
Now tell the whole truth. Not just the part that sorta backs up your narrative.
CC: ianmSC
The propaganda train has refuelled and is coming to a town near you.
Don't care. Covid for kids is, 99.9% of the time, a bad cold.
Really, how , , , Look like more MSM BULLSHIT to me.
You are advertising Child Abuse .
Lies.
DontBeABully
You should add this to everything you tweet👇👇👇👇👇
CTV, How much was you paid by Trudeau to run this report?
Not true. Less exposure to pathogens leads to very week immune system. That is way kids cannot fight mild viruses such as RSV.
You are a garbage news station.
That is BS.
Pay me now or pay me later. It’s later and the kids are paying. Oh but not in Sweden
Lies
LIE
That's misinformation as all Covid cases are based exclusively on PCR tests, which cannot prove a Covid infection which is confirmed many times by the PCR test inventor.
Cope and seethe mask deniers. Reality is as it is.
Now do the countries that didn't play covid next.
Bull shiit
What schools kept mask mandates lol? We know masks don't work, never did work, never will work period. Anyone who knows anything about PPE knows this.
Many factors were at play 8ncluding older school buildings with fewer windows,poor ventilation. Only covid was studied. Not covid,flu,RSV together. No chance this is an example of why mask mandates should be reintroduced.
Every time I see the word “study” or “survey” in any of your articles, I know it’s a 100% fabricated lie and complete bullshit.
Lol
Wrong!! Lies!
No.
Garbage and lies. Nothing but misinformation here.
Is CTV the lobbying arm of the teachers union?
What a shock!
CTV = Covid TV
Nope still not true
💩Study💩
No wants mask if you want no mask like the comment
Why you always lying lol show if the school upgraded their ventilation and please provide the numbers and the science with a doctor with a straight face that will say a mask will save you from Covid. By what percentage
CTV = Propaganda Outlet
CTV is regurgitating the same B S. What do you expect from the Communist Television.
CTV unironically quoting this activist garbage of a 'study'.
schools should of been closed during a global pandemic
You are awful...the bias couldn't be more relevant. You cherry pick studies to fit your narrative
Ctv news is heavy in the propaganda the last few days. Posting false and misleading information in attempt to sway masses of people. When do they get shut down for misinformation? What happened to follow the science?
This is the study they are referencing:
CovidTV recycling this nonsense. Here’s a study that says otherwise, going to post it
Posting this story every 2.5 hours doesn’t make it true. following the McKenna playbook. “If you say it loud enough, long enough.”
How many kids that got vax jabs are getting sick ? How many people who are anti maskers are getting other people sick? Kids and hospital staff?
“Study.”
We are all safer for not following your health advice. Maybe just report on sports? 🤪
Fake. Was it paid for by FTX as well?
The cat's out of the bag. People are cluing in to the fact media is nothing more than peddlers of propaganda for the govt.
That's a lie. Global studies showed that countries where masks were mandated, cases went up shortly after mandate. I have a bunch of charts that show this.
Enough!!'
We know masks and vaccines work to protect people. The problem is political leaders making public safety polices not supported by our medical experts.
🐂💩🤥 quit spreading the WEF propaganda
Cuz kids were at home forced online and set back in their education. Kids need to be kids. nomoremasks
CTVVancouver news, if you were in fact a journalism organization you would know by now that this garnage study has been thoroughly debunked. You are now spreading misinformation. Stop it.
Bullshyt. I saw with my own eyes. Grandsons’ school, no mask mandates, one case of Covid. ONE! Mask mandates come in? Covid went through their school like a freight train!
And here comes the massive push by Trudeau’s news carriers.
never trust 'news' that state 'Study says' but does not bother to provide a link to the study.
You've lost all credibility, not even sure why you bother anymore when people know majority of the stuff you post is nonsense to push a agenda, i mean, majority of Canadians want to return to masking right ? 🤣
My kids are never going back in masks again. Take your rhetoric elsewhere
If a 79 yr old man isn't wearing one, kids shouldn't either. Leave them alone.
Just stop please. The only thing we should be doing to help kids is boosting their immune systems with vitamins and healthy food Masking only delays inevitable infections. Stop fucking masking them.
Who's paying you to spew mask propaganda? nomoremandates
How come kids in Sweden are still alive?They never wore any masks.
Soon CTV, the jig is up.
fordnation, please reinstate mask mandates for the health and safety of our children. BringBackMasks
Oh look common sense 🤔
If this is a surprise, I would like to know where you were for the last 3 years.
Bacterial Pneumonia Caused Most Deaths in 1918 Influenza Pandemic Hmmm, I wonder if the masks had anything to do with it.
Is it possible schools saw less COVID cases because children's immune systems are amazing and it had nothing to do with the masks?
FOff you losers!!!!! Leave kids alone!!!!!
Kids can no longer breath properly. How scary is that?
*cases*
Stop already
The study is flawed at best. The control group included schools with a mask exemption, and there was ascertainment bias because masked close contacts weren’t tested.
BS
You can’t help yourself but lie, with nothing but lies, lies, and more lies to support the liberal paid narrative. CTVNewsMustGo
This is why no one trusts you.
Then how come we were hit with millions of waves of covid 19 during lockdowns and mandates?
Stop with your BS. Complicit
Really? ALL my students wore masks last year and virtually ALL got covid. So there's that.
Fake News!
CTV should be tagged as state sponsored media its right there for everyone to see.
No it didn’t! Stop pushing this false narrative! Everywhere I. The world has already moved on from this! This is a real person that has real studies to back him unlike your fake news!
Masks, covid vaccines, boosters and lockdowns have been in-effective. If they worked, we wouldn't be having this debate again.
This is a garbage study and amplifying it makes you look ridiculous.
One city in the world and boom, it’s a fact.
Masks do more harm.
Propaganda at its very peak!
I do not believe it.
Heard of Sweden, do some research
lol no shit
Huh
Common sense. 🤷🏻♀️
