@dmacphee Yes, that was my conclusion as well. Vaccines keep people alive, but masks keep COVID from spreading. In E. Texas, Tyler and Longview Independent School Districts are similar demographically. TISD was anti-mask while LISD added a strong mask protocol after first week of school. Case rate differences were stark. LISD saved 120 cases of COVID. #MasksWork #naturalexperiment
