Yes, you can find a study to give you the answer you want. It depends on the questions you ask and how you manipulate the data. Not a study, two counties side by side. My spouse teaches in a masked county. My children attend school in a mask-optional county. My spouse's county has a much higher incidence of COVID in school. I know there are other differences, including how much testing is done and how strictly policies are applied. My spouse has also made the observation that the vaxxed (because non-vaxxed are required to test, you can figure out who is v vs non-v) professionals have been out of school much more than the non-vaxxed. For the record, my spouse has natural immunity from 2020 and has not missed a day nor has spouse failed a COVID test. Individuals should have the choice to do what they are comfortable with, mask or no mask, vax or no vax, but no one should be excluded because of their choice when science is not at all clear of the efficacy.
