@tomscocca I both agree and also think we are actually built different. — PolitiTweet.org

Chris Hayes @chrislhayes

@kprather88 @epimom2 For reasons of the precautionary principle as well as the broader reasons you say I think it makes sense to mask kids at school! My own do. It just seems plainly, at this point, on weaker footing than other interventions. — PolitiTweet.org

Chris Hayes @chrislhayes

@kprather88 @epimom2 But again, neither of these responses, respond to what I'm saying, which is that compared to the data showing mask efficacy in adults, as well as vaccine efficacy and booster efficacy, the data on child masking stopping transmission is considerably less conclusive. — PolitiTweet.org

Chris Hayes @chrislhayes

@kprather88 @epimom2 I mean, we also know that mask fit matters, and also that kids have lower viral loads, and that absent masks, levels of transmission between kids *appear* to be lower than it is for similarly situated adults — PolitiTweet.org

Chris Hayes @chrislhayes

@JuliaRaifman Right, but I'm just saying the available data on the effect of children masking in school on transmission just isn't that large or conclusive. — PolitiTweet.org

Chris Hayes @chrislhayes

@tomscocca Right: at a certain point you have a broad global divergence between the Asian-Pacific zero covid regimes and everyone else. But in the "everyone else" category, particularly in the US, public opion, people's views on matters of *extremely* invasive public policy matter — PolitiTweet.org

Chris Hayes @chrislhayes

@tomscocca but democratic/popular support isn't just abstract, for large behavior interventions, population buy-in matters a ton! — PolitiTweet.org

Chris Hayes @chrislhayes

@tomscocca You can say "well it's still a good idea" which is fine, and I agree that had we had more effective "shut-downs" in the past it would be viewed more favorably as a short-term acute tool. But that's not how it's viewed! — PolitiTweet.org

Chris Hayes @chrislhayes

@tomscocca I think it really depends on what we're talking about but I think polling and reporting both point towards March/April 2020 style mass closures, shelter-in-place orders being very very unpopular just about anywhere. I could be wrong, but I don't think I am. — PolitiTweet.org

Chris Hayes @chrislhayes

@tomscocca The good reason is probably 80% of the population opposes them, which in a democracy counts for something! — PolitiTweet.org

@Paulas2131 Thanks, yes, I indeed have such a child! That’s just a different empirical question than wether masking kids is working - vaxxed or not. — PolitiTweet.org

Chris Hayes @chrislhayes

@rockrichard Yes and we reported that study and also there’s a lot to criticize in the methodology. They’re just not really isolating on that variable. — PolitiTweet.org

Chris Hayes @chrislhayes

Again, this is purely an empirical question and a pretty difficult one to study cleanly. This is a rundown of the “they don’t work” case https://t.co/36tWfpimP6 — PolitiTweet.org

Chris Hayes @chrislhayes

Unlike adult vaccination, boosters and use of masks in indoor settings, I think a fair reading of the available data on masking kids is that it’s just not that clear it’s having much effect on transmission. Not clear it’s *not*, and you can make precautionary case on those terms. — PolitiTweet.org

Chris Hayes @chrislhayes

@Nate_Cohn @richardmskinner The polling is pretty clear that inflation is the number one thing driving people's attitudes about the economy, and the reason it's a perfect out-party issue is there's not very much Biden can do about it. (Labor in the UK is wielding it quite effectively as well) — PolitiTweet.org
