Blue-checked pediatrician who declared without evidence that 'kids should wear masks in schools' apparently trusts some very questionable science [pics]

Let the record show that addiction doctor and Chief of Adolescent Medicine at Mass General Hospital for Children and Harvard Medical School Dr. Scott Hadland thinks that children should wear masks in school:

Pediatrician here. Kids should wear masks in school. That is all, thanks. pic.twitter.com/BUrNBqSp7J

Given the guy’s credentials, we assume that he’s reasonably intelligent. But saying “that is all” after making a recommendation that isn’t supported by scientific evidence just doesn’t cut it anymore.

Oh yeah? What science are you using?

Hi, Doc — What studies are you using in making this determination? I was pro-masking at the outset, but now we have a year’s worth of data/studies clearly showing they had no beneficial impact. I’ve listed them here in case you somehow missed them: https://t.co/BY3XBm1ByA

Making a claim like this with nothing to back it up, and over 10k likes is so Twitter.

Perhaps while asserting kids should wear masks, you should role model proper mask behavior? (If a pediatrician role model has hand on inside of mask, wonder what that means for average mask hygiene in 6yos? They are most effective if used properly, right?)
