      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/

      In May, @CDCDirector (despite objections from CDC staff) relaxed mask guidance to incentivize vaccine uptake. Countless state/local govs and venues ended mask rules. Mask use fell but no increase in vaccine uptake happened, likely leading to or worsening the Delta surge. 2/pic.twitter.com/elKCF1K5BF

      I don't get the logic or the empirical basis of these claims, on either end. "If we recommend masks they won't wash their hands." "If we don't recommend masks, they will get vaccinated." Neither claim fits what we know of human behavior, or has empirical support that I can see.

      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.

          The CDC dropping of masking guidance was expected to make the already begrudgingly-masked stop masking and not likely affect vaccine uptake as a factor. I wrote it at the time, too, since not rocket science here on human behavior.

          I think arguments for timing of dropping mask requirements (Fine topic! It is a valid discussion!) need to *stand alone* on their own, not based on these, imo, clearly unsupported projections about human incentives and behaviors.
