5-11 year olds will likely soon be eligible to get vaccinated. This is great news!
But some like @MonicaGandhi9 are championing an end to school masking once this happens.
The logic is that ending mask rules promotes vaccination.
But is that supported by any evidence? 1/

Absolutely. It also misunderstands masking benefits/acceptability through an individualistic lens. Masks are an environmental intervention as much as a personal protective ones. Mask acceptability is contingent on messaging from leaders and on mask use by those around them.

When I looked at recent research (such as it is) on this, I found a sizable group masking up as part of their vaccine avoidance (which happens for a multitude of reasons). I also think most anyone motivated to get vaccinated so as to take off masks has been vaccinated—in the US.
