For years, scientists and commentators who questioned COVID policies were censored, blacklisted, and canceled across the country. Many of these dissenting views have since been vindicated from the …

The article title is false. The study shows that the opening of schools did not increase transmitability. The study did not address the closing of schools and transmitability rates.
- Correct. Conservative spewing the false narrative as usual.

Conservatives are upset because schools being closed means less school shootings which means less thoughts and prayers.
- Sadly, they’re mostly just poor and lack options for childcare when school closes. It’s a hardship, so it’s easier to pretend the problem isn’t real and demand the schools open. And of course conservative politicians don’t hesitate to tell stupid people what they want to hear, as long as it delegitimizes government.

The only way to lessen transmission is for 100% of the population to never go outside, never open their door. No driving in the entire country, no deliveries, no stores open, no hospitals open, ambuulence, or police, no businesses or offices open, all airports shut down, so in the entire country no one single person ever steps outside. If you won't comply with that then you are not serious about stopping it.
- That’s the way to eradicate it. Plenty of reasonable measures to lessen transmission short of that, such as wearing masks if you’re sick, high risk, etc.
  
  What research papers have been published with all variables showing that face coverings prevent infection, and people who did not wear anything suffered permanent health damage? I'm not asking statements, but published papers that definitely show that wearing something prevented spreading, and people who didn't caused the spreading. A news story is not acceptable, only scientic journals or papers to read through the methodology and results.
