Goofy, I will take a meta data study from CDC data that they don't "analyze" themselves over one NIH internal study.  Besides, their study was limited to the Delta variant and only included students from nine states, cannot account for other factors that could have impacted infection rates and claimed to be able to differentiate between in-school transmission and out of school transmission which in my view is impossible to determine.  It is also at odds with studies in Spain, U.K. and other countries, including a study by the CDC in May 2021 that came to the opposite conclusion.   Simply put, this is not peer reviewed and is flawed and is at odds with similar studies across the world and even by the CDC.  Sorry Goofy, but my point remains.....masking has no appreciable impact on infection rates as evidenced by the overwhelming body of evidence contrary to this one, particular, non peer reviewed study by the NIH who seems he!! bent on masking kids who have almost zero risk from Covid but tons of mental and physical health risks from masking.

Ya see Goofy, you truly need to learn to read beyond the headlines.  A very challenging suggestion for you I know.
