Most studies are complete bullshit, and the ones that aren’t are often weak or inconclusive.
Are you starting to see how the gears of the machine work?
Disgraced medical journal BMJ has no credibility, but that doesn’t mean they are always wrong. And in this case, the debunks of the study are obviously correct.
Child Mask Mandates Have No Clear Benefits and Cause Harm, BMJ Review Finds
2023-12-08. Emphasis added.
A new systematic review has been published in Archives of Disease in Childhood, one of the journals of the British Medical Journal, by Sandlund et al. titled ‘Child mask mandates for COVID-19: a systematic review‘.
Since no randomised controlled trials have even been conducted on child mask-wearing or mask mandates, the authors systematically reviewed observational studies and included 22 in the final analysis: six found child mask mandates were associated with lower rates of infection; the other 16 didn’t.
But the studies that found they didn’t weren’t just greater in quantity; they were higher quality too.
Of the six studies reporting a significant negative correlation between masking and COVID-19 cases, five had critical and one had serious ROB [risk of bias]. Of the 16 studies failing to find a significant correlation, one (6.3%) had critical, 10 (62.5%) had serious, five (31.3%) had moderate and none had low ROB. [emphasis added here and below]
In short, almost all studies with critical ROB had pro-mask results, while all studies with moderate ROB did not. Table 2 below gives a breakdown of the various types of bias the reviewers found. The six studies with pro-mask results are listed first.

WIND: the horrific child abuse stemming from COVID came on many fronts including jabbing children (all risk, zero benefit), irreversible loss of learning/growth, suicides and depression from social isolation, etc. Not that adults were in any way immune to those problems.
Never forget the type of people who engaged in this child abuse. Those sociopaths will try the same terrible things in the future for some new propaganda threat.
