We've Discovered the Real Reason the CDC Is Requiring All Kids Wear Masks in Schools

BLUF:
[Katie Pavich - Townhall] So, why the mask mandate for children? Look no further than the teachers unions, who have been lobbying the CDC to issue mask guidelines for students. In May, when the CDC repealed mask guidelines for the vaccinated, which they reversed this week, the country's largest teacher's unions insisted kids still wear them.

#1 JAMA Pediatrics has a recently published study regarding inhaled CO2 levels between masked and unmasked children.

It was retracted shortly afterwards for less than forthright reasons.

#2 Notice of Retraction. Walach H, et al. Experimental Assessment of Carbon Dioxide Content in Inhaled Air With or Without Face Masks in Healthy Children: A Randomized Clinical Trial. JAMA Pediatr. Published online June 30, 2021.

The Research Letter, “Experimental Assessment of Carbon Dioxide Content in Inhaled Air With or Without Face Masks in Healthy Children: A Randomized Clinical Trial,” by Harald Walach, PhD, and colleagues published online in JAMA Pediatrics on June 30, 2021,1 is hereby retracted. Following publication, numerous scientific issues were raised regarding the study methodology, including concerns about the applicability of the device used for assessment of carbon dioxide levels in this study setting, and whether the measurements obtained accurately represented carbon dioxide content in inhaled air, as well as issues related to the validity of the study conclusions. In their invited responses to these and other concerns, the authors did not provide sufficiently convincing evidence to resolve these issues, as determined by editorial evaluation and additional scientific review. Given fundamental concerns about the study methodology, uncertainty regarding the validity of the findings and conclusions, and the potential public health implications, the editors have retracted this Research Letter.

Journals don't like redacting papers - it's an admission of screwing up harming the journal's prestige. So they don't redact papers if they have any choice.

In other words, the authors are not martyrs for Truth, Justice, and the American way. They are a type, all too common in academy nowadays: straight A students (tuchusleckers) without a shred of genuine ability who got into tenure track but failed to produce any results of notice. Went mad & crossed the line (faked the results) to publish something "significant".
Happens every day.

#3 Fair enough, g(r)om. Thank you.

It still seems that my grandchildren, all who wore masks at school this last semester, had lots more headaches than usual and were really tired after getting home from school (which is definitely NOT normal for them). The younger ones often took naps before supper, something that hasn't happened for years.

I still believe that the masks adversely affected the children's health in some way.

I don't know - though I've never seen kids suffer breathing problems due to mask. Most kids, my son's age wear masks even on the street when you don't have too. Hell, I've seen them play soccer in masks.
Have you visited the classroom? Cause, sometimes, that can be illuminating.
