STUDY: HUNDREDS OF LIVES SAVED IN KANSAS COUNTIES THAT ADOPTED MASK MANDATES (KU Professor Donna Ginther)Mon, 06/28/2021
LAWRENCE KS — Despite facing cultural and political pushback, the evidence remains clear: Face masks made a difference in Kansas.
“These had a huge effect in counties that had a mask mandate,” said Donna Ginther, the Roy A. Roberts Distinguished Professor of Economics and director of the Institute for Policy & Social Research at the University of Kansas. “Our research found that masks reduced cases, hospitalizations and deaths in counties that adopted them by around 60% across the board.” Full report appears in JAMA Network Open, a journal published by the American Medical Association. Quotes:
“We thought masks would matter for certain cases, but the effect on hospitalizations and deaths was pretty astonishing,” Ginther said.
“We are required to wear seatbelts in the state to save lives. We get driver’s licenses to save lives. We have vaccine mandates for children going to school to prevent the spread of infectious disease. These are all public health measures that we follow. At some point, the government steps in and says, ‘These are the right things to do to save lives,’” she said.

PRESS RELEASE Kansas primary care physicians denounce COVID-19 misinformation
Overland Park, Kan. (Nov. 1, 2021) The Kansas Academy of Family Physicians and Kansas Chapter of the American Academy of Pediatrics have issued the following joint statement on COVID-19 misinformation:
As highly-trained frontline providers, primary care physicians are among their patients’ most trusted sources for reliable, accurate information about their health.
For that reason, we Kansas family physicians (including Dr. Sharon Lee) and pediatricians have redoubled our dedication to providing the outstanding care and guidance that our communities — made up of our neighbors, friends and family members — deserve during this pandemic.
That’s why we support the Federation of State Medical Boards’ recent statement about the dangers of disseminating misinformation about COVID-19 prevention, treatment and vaccines. Much like the virus itself, misinformation has led to illness and death in our communities.
Our best hope to emerge from the pandemic as quickly as possible is to come together in following the science. That means physicians must remain committed to affirming the safety and effectiveness of the vaccines, dispelling rumors about unproven medications, and supporting masking and social distancing when appropriate.
Patients trust their primary care doctors for their expertise and integrity. Those values, and the patient-physician relationship they underpin, are more important now than ever.
We encourage anyone who has questions about the safety and effectiveness of the COVID-19 vaccines, boosters, or treatment options to discuss the issue with their primary care physician so you can make a decision based on the facts.
