The study showed that the masked regions had lower rates of infection compared to unmasked regions. While regions with mask mandates reported an average of 15.8 newly confirmed COVID-19 cases per day for every 100,000 residents, regions without mask mandates reported an average of 21.7 cases per day for every 100,000 residents.
In a November 3, 2021 email forwarded to Parson's office, state health Director Donald Kauerauf wrote that the study showed that masked regions reported "a lower positivity rate per 100,000 and experienced lower death rates."

The "study" also completely failed to control for.... Well, anything.
There are MANY factors that go into positivity and death rates. Masks is one of the LEAST important ones. Which is what the governor says. Of course, it is buried in like the 783rd paragraph.
This study PROVES nothing, Newsweek, because it is not a proper study at all, and does not control for ANY other factors. It SUGGESTS masks MIGHT be effective... AT BEST.
