I am stating my belief that the article headline did exactly that:
"The Study That Convinced the CDC To Support Mask Mandates in Schools Is Junk Science."
That reads to me as click bait, which gives the impression, "Mask Mandates in Schools Is Junk Science."
I can state that because the headline has the phrase, "Mask Mandates in Schools Is Junk Science" at the end of it, and people are lazy readers.
I'm also stating my belief that the author has NO WAY of knowing how many studies the CDC used to convince them to support Mask Mandates in Schools, so it's wildly inappropriate for the author to use the word "THE." They should have instead said "A."
- lghh 5y ago> That reads to me as click bait, which gives the impression, "Mask Mandates in Schools Is Junk Science." It strictly does not do that and neither does the article beyond the headline. We'll agree to disagree.
- VikingCoder 5y agoWhy are you so certain that no one will get that impression? I even gave you a reason why they would: people are lazy readers. Do you deny that? The phrase at the end of the sentence is what people will pay attention to. Do you deny that? I'm informing you: there are people who will get the wrong impression from that headline. Apparently among them, Facebook Fact Checkers.
