The face mask discussion

[DaveToo]

I will admit I wear a mask when I go to town, which is not often but I do not wish to have a confrontation. Many places you cannot go in without one. I do not go to town often! Out here in the country when I occasionally run into another person they are not usually wearing a mask.

This is the problem.
Can you imagine if 25, 40, 50% of the people who are wearing masks are doing so because they "do not wish to have a confrontation"?

My policy, which works very well, has always been to not wear a mask anywhere in public.
Most stores either ignore me or if I'm approached I say I have a medical condition and am waved in.
The few stores that insist I wear a mask lose my business.

[Deborah (ahamkara)]

I think we all need to be brave.

Yes, and I agree with you. The problem is that more stores are out right refusing people if they say they have a medical issue. This leaves less and less stores to shop from and then you are left ordering online, which is what they want more people to do it seems.

[DaveToo]

I think we all need to be brave.

I agree.
Because if we aren't brave we will pay dearly by losing
our freedoms, one by one.

In South Africa the latest "fear mongering" and Lockdown level three Draconian rule about masks:

https://www.enca.com/news/theres-enough-room-mask-convicts-correctional-services

JOHANNESBURG - Correctional Services is warning people that it has more than enough room for anyone arrested for not wearing a mask in public.

Under lockdown regulations, anyone caught without a mask in public will face a hefty fine or six months imprisonment or both.

The "crooked" media as expected are full into it. This is a picture in the "Rapport", an Afrikaans weekly newspaper:

Stating that it is a 78 year old South African woman :o

BUT it's actually the exact same Ghettyphoto :

And accordingly her Brittish name is "Joan Burgess" - she does not look happy at all :HELP!:

we are currently in a war, like the protesters in Hong Kong we may come to appreciate the anonymity of the mask.

At this time they will probably agree with the science you are presenting.

Long game!

That's great:)

Yes, I do the very same psychologically when I wear one (think Lawrence of Arabia :) ). I purposefully minimise wherever I can any situations that require me too as well and never for very long - twice for 20 minutes a time on a short bus commute is as bad as it gets for me and that is still broken up with a good mile and half walk in between to work and back again to the bus in the evenings; three miles of exercise in all.

Fortunately we also have outdoor markets still operating here, and a weekly delivery of organic vegetables that I'm signed up tor receiving so that further minimises dependence upon supermarkets for everything. Where possible I tend to shop only twice a month for supermarket related goods.

Yesterday Biden announced that he will enforce a 100 day mask mandate.

[wondering]

Where I live, in Michigan, we are already wearing masks in any store or other building we go into, so I don't know what else he could require. It may vary in other states.

[Sue (Ayt)]

Yesterday Biden announced that he will enforce a 100 day mask mandate.

100 days would bring us into Spring, when respiratory illnesses traditionally let up anyway. Then he can claim his mandate saved us all, and he will be the hero!

[Karen (Geophyz)]

Of course he also said he would mobilize the military to go out and give the jab to hard to reach places and people who do not want it.

[Denis]

:(Добрый день! Маску надеваю по мере необходимости, если надо зайти в магазин и на работе. И то, на нос маску не надеваю. На работе предупредили, если маска будет надета не полностью, лишат премии. И что же это за вирус такой, что наши правители сами не носят маски?


Mod note from Bill: Denis is a most welcome new member from Russia, and he now knows he should be posting here in English, which he actually writes well. (Or else few people here will be able to understand him!)
It's very interesting to get face mask news from his country. Here's a translation:

~~~
Hello there! I put on the mask as needed if I need to go to the store and at work. And then, I don't put the mask over my nose. But at work, they warned us that if the mask isn't fully worn, we'll lose our bonus.
And what kind of virus is it that our rulers themselves don't wear masks?

I observe that there is a great deal of support for the "democracy protest" in HK of 2019 everywhere in the west. I understand that the information is biased and manipulated that this is similar to the Hong Kong people's sentiment in support of Biden (anyone not Trump). Make no mistake, it was a CIA sponsored color revolution. I was in HK and knew how irrational it was, and how biased the news was reported even in local TV.

Face masks – “14 randomized controlled trials did not support a substantial effect on transmission” (https://www.iceagenow.info/face-masks-14-randomized-controlled-trials-did-not-support-a-substantial-effect-on-transmission/)

The above quote is from the CDC. And look at this graph showing the difference between South Dakota (no mask mandate) vs Montana (mask mandate)


https://www.iceagenow.info/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/Montana-vs-South-Dakota-Mask-mandate-vs-no-mask-mandate.jpg


I don’t see much difference, do you?

“MASK MANDATES : So glad to see we are following the peer-reviewed science and the evidence on masks,” https://static.xx.fbcdn.net/images/emoji.php/v9/tdd/1/16/1f9d0.png says Craig Kelly.

“Why is it that those that most loudly campaign against Ivermectin & HCQ + Zinc, claiming there is ‘’not enough evidence’’, are the biggest supporters of mask mandates despite the lack of evidence to support them ?”

In case you can’t read the highlighted portion of the above paper, it says, “Although mechanistic studies support the potential effect of hand hygiene or face masks, evidence from 14 randomized controlled trials of these measures did not support a substantial effect on transmission of laboratory-confirmed influenza.”

So now people that are working are ordered to wear "2" masks. I am going to lose workers over this. Who wants to try to work when they can't breathe?

[Stac(i)]

As someone with an autoimmune disorder, I have been happily and comfortably wearing a KN-95 mask covered by a cloth mask for the last 3 months. :peep:

I think that we underestimate humanities ability to be versatile and compassionate when offered that as an alternative. I think anticipating your employees will be on board for helping your business get through this while staying open, and helping to reduce the spread is the ideal mindset to move forward with.

Also, there is a reason I switched from a cloth face mask to doubling up. It was looking at the clinical studies that convinced me that the cloth mask was not enough. Imagine if we had been encouraged as a country to adequately, and completed mask up from the beginning. Would be have lost as many people, or businesses?

I do recognize that my argument really hinges on the reader having also read the studies done on the effectiveness of masks, and not just listened to the memes and yelling online. Because if you don't believe that GOOD maks will limit the spread of this illness, then I am just spitting into the wind.

Interesting juxtaposition of concepts there when discussing wearing a mask: "spitting into the wind." Seems that would be impossible to do with a mask on. May we assume you will remove your mask before you do that?

[Deborah (ahamkara)]

I respect that many people feel safer with masks. However, germ theory intersects with terrain theory with 5G with innate immunity to form a picture that is far from clear. The biggest problem I see with masks is that states with stringent lockdowns and mask mandates are NOT doing better than those without.. here in Florida, outside of the big cities, mask wearing is non existent and I believe we are 26th in the nation for deaths per 100,000- despite the prevalence of seniors above age 60.

There is ample evidence of foreign involvement in the Yellow (Umbrella) Revolution/Riot two years ago. There were photographs/videos of white man briefing on the young leaders, videos of protesters given paid in the streets. Lots and lots of money and coordination are necessary for the protests. The protest operations were so huge that they could not be spontaneous acts from the students and young protesters. They would not have the know-how and money to do it.
Of course I cannot show you the proof. Nothing is proof because there is always censorship, counter-proof and "fact checking". I know it is futile to argue over the validity of even a simple event. So let us not dwell into it.

You would be correct saying you have extensive connections believing it is a genuine revolution. Hong Kong is deeply into two camps. The Yellow and the Blue. Almost no one can stand in the middle. Fathers quarrelled with their sons and daughters. Friends became enemies. This is not an exaggeration. What could have brought this extreme schism? Fanning flames from the media and well planned psyop-warfare. A divided country/society is incapacitated, dysfunctioned. It cannot resist any real external challenge.

What really happened in HK is like ages ago and is not important now. The whole world is turning to authoritarianism and worse, depopulation and dehumanism. That’s what we should be united to fight against.

His mastery of UK accents is also awesome.

The reason I will not wear a mask is because it has nothing to do with reducing the probability of transmission of a virus.

And when a government can make you wear a mask, (seemingly not minding how used, filthy and stained it could possibly be), it can make you do anything.

Mask Whistleblowers TELL ALL
from: V-Revealed <support@vrevealed.com
2/6/21

"Masks: There are some jobs that require them:

Nail Technicians
Painters
Medical Professionals
Clean Room Technician

But, since the pandemic, the purpose and use of a mask has drastically changed.

People now wear them all day, every day... to ‘protect them from a virus.’

Have you stopped to think if your mask is even doing its job?

Yes, I'm talking about that crumpled up ball of cloth sitting in your center console that you grudgingly put on as you enter your local supermarket.

Yes, I’m talking about the same mask that OSHA has rules and regulations for!

Why?

Because through YEARS and YEARS of study we have learned that masks, if not worn correctly, will do more harm than good.

OSHA magically and suddenly changed their stance on masks in the face of C0V!D.

They just threw away decades of data.

Have you done any research or have you just followed the crowd? Are you scared? Do you think masks will protect you?

Now is your chance to get educated. See what two EXPERTS on masks think about your everyday use of a mask:"

I wear one to be polite because I'm considerate of others. I feel it's a reasonable request. There are very cool people out there that just feel more comfortable with a mask. It's not a big deal. If someone publicly approaches me and rudely challenges me with rhetorical nonsense I will be happy to remove my mask and show my teeth.

Study Shows How Masks Are Harming Children
by Dr. Joseph Mercola
February 27, 2021
https://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2021/02/27/effects-of-mask-mandates-and-school-closures.aspx?ui=8d3c7e22a03f5300d2e3338a0f080d2da3add85bca35e09236649153e4675f72&sd=20110604&cid_source=dnl&cid_medium=email&cid_content=art2ReadMore&cid=20210227_HL2&mid=DM816135&rid=1094437498

"Story at a Glance:
Data from the first registry to record children's experiences with masks show physical, psychological and behavioral issues including irritability, difficulty concentrating and impaired learning
Since school shutdowns in spring 2020, an increasing number of parents are seeking drug treatment for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) for their children
Evidence from the U.K. shows schools are not the super spreaders health officials said they were; measured rates of infection in schools were the same as the community, not higher
A large randomized controlled trial showed wearing masks does not reduce the spread of SARS-CoV-2
It is important to pay attention to the direction leadership is taking to protect your future and your finances

A new study shows children have experienced great psychological, behavioral and physical harm from the mandates and lockdowns handed down during the COVID-19 pandemic. This harm affects the next generation of leaders and has dampened the spirits of people around the world. Yet, there is one place that appears to have side-stepped this damage.

Throughout the 20th and 21st centuries, there have been events that have changed the world. They include the two World Wars, the bombing of Pearl Harbor, the atomic bomb on Hiroshima, the fall of the Berlin Wall, the 9/11 attacks and the COVID-19 pandemic.1

The current pandemic has undoubtedly been the most traumatic period for many people. The devastation that has been wrought on the world is incalculable, including things that aren't easily measured like mental health, food insecurity and physical abuse.

The harsh reality is that virtually none of it was necessary and the real damage has been the result of decisions made by global health and government officials who appear to have been acting in concert, according to some predetermined plan.

The fallout from this event will be experienced by many for the remainder of their lives. Suicide rates,2 child abuse3 and drug deaths4 have risen dramatically. Prescriptions for anti-anxiety drugs had risen 31% and for antidepressants by up to 22% by mid-2020.5 But children, whose voices are not often heard, may be suffering the most.

Children Show Physical, Behavioral and Psychological Harm
A recent study6 has been published online using data from Germany's first registry recording the experience children are having wearing masks. Parents, doctors and others can enter their observations; the registry had recorded use by 20,353 people as of October 26, 2020.

Using this data on 25,930 children, the researchers discovered interesting information. The average time children were wearing a mask was 270 minutes each day. There were 24 health issues reported that were associated with wearing masks that fell into the categories of physical, psychological and behavioral issues.7

Of the problems that children were having wearing masks, 68% of them were reported to the registry by parents. The researchers concluded the frequency of registry use and the variety of symptoms being reported indicated the importance of the subject. They recorded symptoms that:8

“… included irritability (60%), headache (53%), difficulty concentrating (50%), less happiness (49%), reluctance to go to school/kindergarten (44%), malaise (42%), impaired learning (38%) and drowsiness or fatigue (37%).”

Added to these concerning symptoms, they also found 29.7% reported feeling short of breath, 26.4% being dizzy and 17.9% were unwilling to move or play.9 Hundreds more experienced “accelerated respiration, tightness in chest, weakness and short-term impairment of consciousness.”

Measurements of anxiety or depressive disorder jumped dramatically for adults between January through June 2019 and January 2021. According to data from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention,10 the percentage of adults reporting symptoms of anxiety disorder and/or depressive disorder was 11% in the first quarter of 2019 but jumped dramatically to 41.1% across the nation by January 2021.11

Evidence has shown that there is a positive relationship between a child's behavioral problems and mental health with maternal mental health12 and parental mental health.13 This means that independent of their own stress and physiological harm from mask-wearing and lockdowns, children will also respond negatively to the rising rate of anxiety and depression exhibited by adults.More Families Seeking Drugs to Manage Remote Learning
In spring 2020 began an unprecedented remote learning experiment for schools around the world. Suddenly, tens of millions of students were at home, plugged into their computer for their education. In one survey, Educators for Excellence14 reported 67% of teachers said their students’ homework or assignments were completed “somewhat worse” or “much worse” than before remote learning was mandatory.

In another survey,15 teachers reported their sense of success dropped from 96.3% when teaching in the classroom to 73.1% teaching remotely. On average, the same teachers reported that only 60% of their students were engaged in learning activities.

Remote learning has been especially challenging for young children and for the 20% of students living in the U.S. who do not have access to the necessary technology.16 According to Education Week, 80% of teachers believe their students are having trouble focusing during the shutdown.17

Each of these factors may contribute to the growing number of parents who are seeking treatment for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) for their children. NBC News reports18 specialists are flooded with questions and requests for diagnosis and prescriptions for ADHD.

Dr. Melvin Oatis from the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry believes that the pandemic has “been a tipping point that has pushed some families to get help.”19

However, Dr. Arthur Lavin, who is a pediatrician with service on several national committees of the American Academy of Pediatrics, warns, "Our concern is that pediatricians and families be very careful to not simply list the symptoms of ADHD, but to look at the child's history and use differential diagnosis to make sure we have the best possible explanation for the symptoms."20

The fuzziness surrounding a diagnosis of ADHD has also led to some over-identification of these issues. University of Minnesota psychologist Stephanie Carlson finds that students are often misidentified as having deficits in executive functioning skills when the behavior is within normal limits.21

For example, younger students are more likely to be labeled with ADHD than their older peers. Boys are labeled more often than girls, and black and Latino students have a lower probability of being diagnosed or taking medicine.

Schools Are Not Super Spreaders
Early data are now available from a study22 performed by the University of Warwick in the U.K. looking at information on school absences between September 2020 and December 2020. The researchers were interested in students who stayed home from school sick because of COVID-19 infections and how the number who became ill varied across time.

The study evaluated pupils and teachers and how those absences changed during November lockdown and in December when the lockdown was lifted. What they found was that the infection rate in the schools matched the wider community, indicating there was no evidence that schools were a driver in producing more cases of COVID-19.

As in the U.S., students in the U.K. have been offered remote learning options. Dr. Mike Tildesley is one of the researchers and a scientific adviser to the U.K. government. He suggests using a staggered approach as plans for reopening the schools are underway.23

While the rates of infection between the schools and community were the same, the researchers could not comment if the students and teachers who did have COVID-19 caught it in the school or the community.24 As would be expected with what is known about the virus, the rate of infection was lower in primary schools than secondary schools.

When speaking to a BBC reporter, Tildesley had a telling comment about how decisions to reopen schools should be made: “You could potentially think about doing early years first. But this is a political decision."25

Face Masks Do Not Effectively Reduce COVID-19 Infections
The first randomized controlled trial evaluating the effectiveness of surgical face masks against SARS-CoV-2 was published in November 2020 in the Annals of Internal Medicine.26

During the trial, researchers evaluated more than 6,000 individuals and found that masks did not statistically significantly reduce the incidence of infection of COVID-19. Among the people who wore masks, 1.8% tested positive for SARS-CoV-2, compared to 2.1% among the control group.

When the researchers removed those who did not adhere to proper mask-wearing, the results remained the same — 1.8%. This suggests that in this group of 6,000 individuals, wearing a mask made no significant difference as to whether they would acquire COVID-19.

In the group that reportedly wore their masks “exactly as instructed,” 2% tested positive for the virus as compared to 2.1% of the controls. Despite a lack of evidence that mask-wearing in the general public was effective, widespread mask mandates were rolled out.

At the end of December 2020, researchers from Rational Ground revealed results of data analysis evaluating the use of masks from all 50 U.S. states.27 It was completed by data analysts, computer scientists and actuaries, who divided the information into states that had mask mandates and those that did not.

They evaluated data from May 1, 2020, through December 15, 2020, and calculated how many cases per day occurred by population with and without mask mandates. Among states without a mask mandate, 5,781,716 cases were counted over 5,772 days, which worked out to:28

No mask mandates — 17 cases per 100,000 people per day
Mask mandates — 27 cases per 100,000 people per day
In other words, the evidence does not support the use of masks and school lockdowns. And, there is powerful evidence that masks and school lockdowns are causing significant damage to the physical and psychological health of children. Yet, these mandates and lockdowns have garnered support from schools and parents, likely driven by fear of the virus.

Countrywide Mandates Prove Successful

Ri_yU_gHLcA

In fact, fear seems to have been the force used to drive mandates the public would not have otherwise accepted — except, that is, in Sweden. In a 45-minute documentary, Claudia Nye shows how Sweden has approached COVID-19.

Under the guidance of chief epidemiologist Anders Tegnell, Sweden did not institute a universal lockdown, close small businesses or schools, or enact mandatory mask mandates. Instead, they chose to use enough reasonable strategies to protect their citizens. According to Tegnell, "We don't want to hurt anyone unnecessarily, but we want to have as good effect as possible."29

Using this as the basis for their decision-making, only some schools were closed during certain periods of time and only office workers were asked to work from home to minimize crowding on public transportation. Retail shops, gyms and restaurants remained open, a vast difference from what happened in other countries around the world.

Businesses recommended social distancing and masks, but it wasn't a strict rule. Around the globe, people were told to stay home or face jail time. Yet, in Sweden people were asked to take commonsense precautions based on their individual circumstances.

It was recommended seniors and other high-risk individuals stay home, use social distancing and wear masks. All others were free to live as they normally would. Tegnell noted that in Sweden, “We have chosen a voluntary way and it’s proven to be sustainable and it’s proven also to be effective.”30

According to the Imperial College of London model, Sweden should have experienced a death toll of 80,000 by the end of June 2020 without a lockdown.31 However, the true number September 30, 2020, after no lockdowns, stood at 5,893,32 a vast majority of whom were elderly with comorbidities.

In fact, of those, only 872 were a direct result of COVID-19. The rest had one or more conditions that contributed to the death.33 Nye tells more of this story in her engaging documentary that won the Outstanding Achievement Award in the Los Angeles International Indie Short Fest film festival in January 2021.

I believe without being aware of how your behavior is being influenced, the world will continue to become decidedly different and more difficult. To protect our children, future generations and your finances, I encourage you to share “Public Health Officials Are Destroying Humanity.”

It may seem like science fiction, but just one year ago you probably could not have imagined the world as it is today. Unless and until more people understand the direction that leadership is sending the world, it will only continue down the same path."

Headmaster: I refuse to make pupils to wear masks in class

David Perks is the founder and headteacher at the East London Science School, built on the principle of offering a strong foundation in science and maths and encouraging critical thinking.

When they come back on March 8th, he will not be following government guidance and requiring his pupils to wear facemasks in class.

Thanks to David for sharing his experience — we’ll be watching to see what other schools choose to do.

Vital Revelations About How Masks Damage Children: Parents and Grandparents Must Watch This Video


https://www.bitchute.com/video/R0QxiNUWiMGu/

[Journeyman]

I've come full circle on masks. I've spent a lot of time in Asian countries and was used to seeing people wearing them there. It's seen as good manners if you've got a cold to wear one and having had people sneezing on me in the tube, that makes sense to me.

During the early days of lockdown I wore a mask when visiting the local hospital, before the mandate was introduced. Again, I didn't think it was going to give me much protection and I'd already had the bug going around, but I definitely didn't want to spread it to others. I wear one now in shops, again I don't think it's going to stop me catching anything, but a) I think its a courtesy to the shop assistants and b) I don't really need the hassle of someone picking a fight over it. I am uneasy though about the esoteric implications of this and if I'm in some way signifying agreement with the plans of TPTB. So I mentally think 'cancel' when I put it on. No idea if that helps :D

The worst part is that masks have become a fetish. I see people wearing them alone in their cars, alone walking down a quiet street with no-one else around. The level of fear which must be in those people is itself scary. Sadly this has encouraged those in the UK who love nothing better than gossiping about the failings of others to indulge their favourite pursuit.

MOVING BLACK STRANDS ON FACE MASK – SIMILAR VIDEOS APPEARING DAILY NOW

"A new genre of video is cropping up about the microscopic black strands that are being found in both the swabs used in COVID testing and in the disposable face masks.

Seeing these strands, I was reminded of the strange microscopic objects that have been found in skin lesions of those suffering from Morgellons disease.

What’s even creepier is that these strands exhibit the characteristics of very small-scale micro-robots, in that they move in response to heat and moisture. Are these approved swabs and masks being used to deliver synthetic biology into their human hosts? Is that why Joe Biden issued an Executive Order that disallows bandannas on public transport, in favor of Chinese PPEs?

Synthetic biology combines genetics, robotics and nano-technology with artificial intelligence, hybridizing natural forms and engineering tissues beyond our wildest dreams. In 2011, Sofia Smallstorm gave presentations on “The Dark Agenda of Synthetic Biology”, in which she discussed nano fibers: moving, growing nano-bots integrating themselves with man.

Smallstorm and others believe these high-tech substances are being released via secretive high aerosol spraying programs, causing her to ask whether geoengineering was only about experimenting with weather?

It’s interesting that the discovery of these Morgellons-like strands is coinciding with a widespread announcement of Bill Gates’ plans to blot out the sun, essentially confessing that the same guy who is the primary financier of the WHO, GAVI, Event 201 and mRNA vaccine technology has likely been the eminence grise behind chemtrails, all along. But it’s all good, because muh Climate Change.

Equally interesting is that these developments coincide with the warning about blue and gray disposable face masks issued by Canada’s health agency, that they contain microscopic graphene particles associated with “early pulmonary toxicity.”

These Chinese-made masks were part of Canada’s public school reopening plan, in which students would be required to wear them in the classroom to prevent the spread of COVID-19. However, children have been complaining that they feel as though they were inhaling cat hair while wearing them. It turns out they’ve been inhaling an asbestos-like substance.

The provincial government of Quebec has issued a directive to various ministries of Canada to stop distributing these SNN200642 masks and to “keep them in a safe place now.” "

I've been taking it a step further since the plandemic started more than a year ago.
I don't even carry a mask on me!

[Denise/Dizi]

I have always wondered why those vaccinated and wearing masks are so concerned about those not wearing them. If they suggest that my wearing a mask is somehow protecting others, well their masks must not be very effective right? Not only that, why bother getting vaccinated at all?

So all in all, to me it is nothing more than fear porn, and a great test to see how well the "Controllers" can affect control over the masses. I find it hilarious as none of the fabric masks protect against anything. Sure they may stop people from "talk spitting" on another, but truly, the minute people take them off and touch anything, they're contaminating everything anyway, so what is the point?

If those getting vaccinated, and are wearing masks still, believe they're helping anyone, joke is on them. If the vaccines worked they would no longer need a dang mask... PERIOD. They would be immune. The idiocy of it all is laughable.

I think a lot of the people not wearing masks nowadays ARE vaccinated. Some of them have that smug air of virtuousity.

[Denise/Dizi]

I think a lot of the people not wearing masks nowadays ARE vaccinated. Some of them have that smug air of virtuousity.

I have MS, and when people ask me if I am going to be vaccinated to "get my white blood count up to fend off CoVid", I tell them my white blood count is so high that it fights itself for fun!

I explain that an extra boost to my immune system could be catastrophic.. That tends to get them to "Allow me" the luxury of NOT being vaccinated, in their opinions... The thing about this vaccine is that it isn't at all a vaccine.. But the terminology of what it truly is, has been adjusted to give the illusion that indeed it is a vaccine specifically designed to fend off CoVid.

There is so much literature out there suggesting they still can't find the exact thing they're trying to fight off.

The videos from China with people dropping death, blood coming from their faces, suggest a local bioweapon was used there, and I believe those videos were put out to push the fear porn even further. I know of people whom have died natural causes, but were marked as "CoVid" deaths publicly... (A family member as one, as he was once the sheriff of a very large town in my state)..

Personally I am tired of those that want the vaccine, forcing their own beliefs on those that believe it is a mistake to ingest anything untested and unregulated. Especially when there is no recourse if it causes irreversible damage to those taking it. As it has for some folks, up to, and including an untimely death.

A cloth mask may stop droplets from escaping the mouth, but the germs still linger. None of the face coverings people are wearing are rated for viral contamination, so to wear them is a joke. Those that I know that did get the virus, were wersing masks and were outside when they were exposed....

In my town it is mandatory to wear masks, cloth ones, into businesses, I laugh.. The police will tell you to your face they cannot patrol this, and an only suggest people do it. It is a "Suggestion" not law...

I recently went into the store to buy a few disposable masks. I noticed the same description on the disposable masks I was looking at - all made in China - and there was also an additional sentence which said that one might notice copper and silver threads and words to the effect not to be concerned with this. Well, that did it for me - in my paranoid state, there were just a few too many red flags so will not be buying any more disposable masks and will only wear (if I have to) the fabric ones made made locally.

[Agape]

I would not worry about silver and copper threads in your face mask.

Silver and copper both have antimicrobial properties.

Silver oxide and silver nitrate are commonly used in treatment of infected wounds, long healing wounds, burns and sunburns.

Nanosilver is common part of sterile pads and wound dressings used in ICU wards. They use very high quality products of course but most can be purchased from hospital pharmacies.

I’ve searched and found one of the “good face masks” with nanosilver on the market:

It’s almost 99% waterproof , it’s washable and durable.


Wonder that simple red clay mask many aboriginal tribes used in the heat would do good job as well. Or what about walking to store covered in that black charcoal mask ?

It’s the return to ancestors time ...

FROM the Stanford Study:
Efficacy of facemasks

The physical properties of medical and non-medical facemasks suggest that facemasks are ineffective to block viral particles due to their difference in scales [16], [17], [25].

According to the current knowledge, the virus SARS-CoV-2 has a diameter of 60 nm to 140 nm [nanometers (billionth of a meter)] [16], [17], while medical and non-medical facemasks’ thread diameter ranges from 55 µm to 440 µm [micrometers (one millionth of a meter), which is more than 1000 times larger [25].

Due to the difference in sizes between SARS-CoV-2 diameter and facemasks thread diameter (the virus is 1000 times smaller), SARS-CoV-2 can easily pass through any facemask [25].

IMHO

The mask is of course to help spread the fear. What it also does is deter human to human contact - people wearing masks are reluctant to make eye contact with another.

Divide us from each other as much as they can.

I was out yesterday and there was a young women who actually ran away from me as I got out of my parked car in a parking lot without having a mask on. She was very scared. I could see the terror on her face - it was ridiculous, but a clear example of how much fear some people are feeling due to the programming.

[happyuk]

This whole video by Dr John Lee, UK professor pathology and consultant histopathologist needs to be listened to my millions of people, every bit of it. n my opinion it's by far the best summary of the whole debacle and the reasons behind the decision taken.

If you want to jump to the part where he demolishes the myth of mask wearing protecting both yourself and others, it's at approximately 22:00 where he talks about distancing / mask wearing.

It's basically a failure of the imagination to understand how small a virus really is.

[happyuk]

Some peer-reviewed academic citations from world-class scientists on the lack of efficacy of mask wearing in preventing the spread of infections.

There is I think a Danish study considered to be the de facto study that demolishes claims that masks are even remotely effective in infection control and explain how much of a liability they are when used inappropriately, I'll see if I can dig it out.

1.
Conversely, surgical and hand-made masks, and face shields, generate significant leakage jets that have the potential to disperse virus-laden fluid particles by more than several metres. The different nature of the masks and shields makes the direction of these jets difficult to be predicted, but the directionality of these jets should be a main design consideration for these covers. They showed an intense backward jet for heavy breathing and coughing conditions. It is important to be aware of this jet, to avoid a false sense of security that may arise when standing to the side of, or behind, a person wearing a surgical, or handmade mask, or shield.

I was in a hospital regularly at the height of the first lockdown and I wore a mask, even though at that point it was not mandatory to do so and plenty of people weren't. I thought that they offered a chance of protecting others from something you yourself had by reducing the amount, volume and distance of droplets from your own breath. In other words, I didn't think it would stop me from catching covid or any other disease, but if it lessened the chance of me spreading it, particularly to the many people within that had compromised immune systems or co-morbidity factors, then I was happy to do whatever I could to lessen that risk. To be honest, although there are lots of reasons to be wary of anything and everything we are told about this pandemic I'd do the same again.

If I was in a hospital, I would have probably done the same. If I had a cold and was sneezing or coughing, same. But not just because.

"Masks work!" Really...?

The three states below had very different levels of restrictions yet a virus cares not. The idea that states can intervene in a natural process is shown to be a fallacy.

It’s now been over four weeks since Texas removed is mask mandate and absolutely nothing has happened, in fact, Texas is 38th in case rate over the week ending 4/7. The mainstream media is utterly unable to compute such data.

https://i2.wp.com/riseupnh.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/TX-mask-v-cases-1.jpg?fit=800%2C451&ssl=1 (https://i2.wp.com/riseupnh.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/TX-mask-v-cases-1.jpg?ssl=1)


Tell me again that the masks stopped the virus. We dare you.

https://i2.wp.com/riseupnh.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/Peaks-2020-v-2021.jpg?fit=1024%2C574&ssl=1 (https://i2.wp.com/riseupnh.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/Peaks-2020-v-2021.jpg?ssl=1) The same pattern pertains to TX and NJ, except to note the later progression into the south last year. As with other states and countries, no correlation can be found between lockdowns and/or mask wearing and viral progression.

https://i1.wp.com/riseupnh.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/TX-vs-NJ-masks.jpg?fit=546%2C298&ssl=1 (https://i1.wp.com/riseupnh.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/TX-vs-NJ-masks.jpg?ssl=1)

Japan’s COVID-19 case progression was once held up as the result of model government restrictions and high levels of compliance. We do find it odd how rarely we hear about Japan nowadays.

We know. This is getting boring. When will the mask cult open their eyes to the obvious? Viruses are seasonal and cannot be stopped by face diapers.

Millions of face masks officially declared dangerous
by Jon Rappoport
May 28, 2021
https://blog.nomorefakenews.com/2021/05/28/millions-of-face-masks-officially-declared-dangerous/

"This is not an article about whether face masks work.

As my readers know, for the past year I’ve been demonstrating that the SARS-CoV-2 virus has never been proven to exist. [1] Therefore, face masks are nothing more (or less) than a mind-control ritual. [2] [2a]

However, much has been written about the harm the masks cause.

And now we have an official declaration. On April 2, 2021, Health Canada issued an advisory, warning people not to “use face masks labelled to contain graphene or biomass graphene.”

Andrew Maynard covers this issue in a medium.com article, “Manufacturers have been using nanotechnology-derived graphene in face masks—now there are safety concerns.” [3]

Those concerns? Masks could create lung problems.

Of course, since COVID-19 is claimed to be a lung disease, you can see where that leads: the remedy turns out to cause what it’s supposed to prevent. I could write a book detailing how many times this “coincidence” pops up in the field of medicine.

Maynard’s article traces the safety concerns to a Chinese mask manufacturer, Shandong, but points out that millions of graphene-containing masks are in use around the world, produced by a whole host of companies.

So far, it’s not clear whether the nanoparticles of graphene in the masks also contain metals—which are highly destructive.

The mainstream literature on graphene is ambiguous: yes, it’s probably toxic to the lungs; perhaps not seriously so; perhaps only temporarily; there are more questions than answers.

Since there are more questions, why have these masks been certified anywhere in the world for public use? Why haven’t the CDC and the WHO made definitive statements about safety concerns?

At materialstoday.com, we have, “Is graphene safe?” [4]

“But, it is the very nature of graphene that might be cause for concern: thin and lightweight, yet tough and intractable particles are notoriously worrisome in terms of the detrimental effects they can have on our health, particularly when breathed in…”

“Ken Donaldson is a respiratory toxicologist at the University of Edinburgh and he and his colleagues are among the first to raise the warning flag on graphene, at least for nanoscopic platelets of the material. It is not too great a leap of the imagination to imagine how such tiny flakes of carbon might be transported deep within the lungs similar to asbestos fibres and coal dust. Once lodged within, there is no likely mechanism for the removal or break down of such inert particles and they might reside on these sensitive tissues triggering a chronic inflammatory response or interfering with the normal cellular functions.”

Does this make any sane person feel safe about wearing a mask and breathing in those graphene particles all day long?

In fact, you could rightly call the masks graphene-inhalation transporters.

“We have a new idea and a new product. It’s designed to force you to breathe in nanoparticles of graphene. Who knows? There might be health benefits. Try it and see.”

Yes, try it. And if you then develop a lung infection, since that is called a cardinal pandemic symptom, you could hit the jackpot and earn a diagnosis of COVID-19.

At which point the fun really begins, as you try to explain to your doctor that the cause isn’t a virus, but rather nanoparticles of graphene in your mask. If you play your cards right, you could end up in the psych ward with other “conspiracy theorists.”

“Can you believe it, nurse? I had this guy a few hours ago coughing and dripping mucus all over the place. Inflamed lungs. Classic COVID case. But he tells me he’s breathing in NANOPARTICLES. I gave him a sedative and sent him to the Crazy Pen. Where do these people get these stories? Have you ever heard of graphene? That’s what they put in pencils, right?”

“I don’t know, Doc. My cousin thinks she’s breathing in these nanos, too. I told her she needs a Thorazine drip.”

There’s a good chance the masks are COVID-diagnosis promoters. Step one: breathe in nanoparticles of graphene. Step two: therefore develop a so-called major COVID symptom—lung infection. Step three: test false-positive on the PCR test (happens millions of times, as I’ve documented). And boom, you’re a COVID case.

In keeping with local laws, I’ve applied for a license to own a mask as a weapon. If I gain approval, I plan to seal it in a glass box and mount it on the wall next to my grenade launcher and Civil War cannonball."

tactics. They are incapable to think rationally.

It should be noted that Ben Shapiro is a card carrying "normie" as well, lest this clip fool anyone otherwise. Just because from time to time he goes off on things that the majority of this forum may find agreeable, doesn't change that. For instance he's pro U.S. empire, pro U.S. being in Iraq for decades if needed, and has since day one been a fierce critic of Julian Assange and Wikileaks, just to name a couple of examples.

He makes a fine living playing lead blocker on talk radio for a political team, and a very talented lead blocker at that, but he's no independent truth seeker by any means what so ever. If the team's for it he's for it, if the team's against it he's against it.

This is pretty interesting from Chris Martenson, published on 25 May 2021, nearly a month ago.


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aN5gyLwoB-8
He sticks like glue to the published science, which concludes (persuasively) that masks do nothing at all when one is outdoors, even in a large, dense, vocal crowd. There was no uptick at all in the Covid cases following major events such as last year's BLM riots, etc.

It seems that most covid cross-infections occur when indoors, in cramped conditions with many others (e.g. in an army barracks, or cruise ships, or schoolrooms(!) ), where there are lots of people and little ventilation. There, Martenson argues, again from the published research, masks can make a difference.

Outdoor transmission seems to account for 0.1% of all covid cases. Go figure.

He suggests, displaying immense common sense, that many potential covid issues in schools would 100% evaporate simply by moving classes outside into the sun.

He also discusses the inoculum, as he did many times last year. This is an important concept, referring to the 'dose' of the virus one might absorb in a cross-infection. This seems to be a useful guideline. The numbers refer to the numbers of virus particles in the 'dose'.

The relevance to masks is that in confined spaces, masks restrict the numbers of virus particles passing through.

They don't stop them. They just lower the numbers.


1,000: Not ill, no symptoms,, no shedding. The possible development of valuable antibodies.
10,000: Minor illness, half the people with some symptoms, no shedding.
100,000: Mild illness, the majority have symptoms, some shedding.
1,000,000: Possible severe illness, the majority have symptoms, half the people shedding.

Martenson argues that deliberately exposing oneself to a LOW dose may be very beneficial in generating natural immunity.

In all his new videos, he's protecting his YouTube account by sticking ONLY to published research, avoiding all mention (by name) of HCQ and Ivermectin, and carefully avoiding all 'political' discussion. e.g. about agendas re 'vaccines'.

One VERY strongly suspects that his true opinions about those, which I'd expect to be pretty strong and clear, are all behind his subscribers paywall.

Facts Matter with Roman Balmakov

(The news covered here is about more than just face masks, but the first 5 minutes is devoted to all the pathogens found in face masks. It's interesting because Balmakov says the pathogens are found on face masks belonging to school children, who don't go to hospitals or other places where such pathogens are common, but he leaves it to the viewer to think about why that would be so. In other words, viewers could logically conclude that those pathogens originated from the masks. Deliberately placed there or accidentally placed there by infected workers making the masks...or? This is the first time I've seen this subject brought to our attention, but I imagine we'll be hearing more about it... if it's not all censored first...).

Most Mask Wearers will be Dead or Demented in Ten Years --Dr Vernon Coleman



International best-selling author and retired medical doctor, Dr Vernon Coleman, explains that mask wearing is a massive experiment and enormously dangerous, and why he believes his predictions about mask wearing are better than the Government's. He also explains the rules about mask wearing, and points out that no one can ask you why you aren't wearing a mask any more than they can ask if you are wearing clean underwear. Dr Coleman's free book 'Proof that masks do more harm than good' is available on https://www.vernoncoleman.org

sorry haven't read all the thread so don't know if this has come up before...

is this where all the mask nonsense is leading... and why it makes no sense in health terms for everyday life...
like nothing about the Covid 19 / Scamdemic makes sense (to normal thinking unbrainwashed people)

just seen this and thought oh oh... is it (masks) just the first stage of familiarization and compliance as we get lead further down the cyborg zombie path... in the not at all brave new world of the Elite's Transhuman Dream - where technology replaces nature... god/goddess is done away with in favour of the Digital Prison where the Super Rich Patriarchs rule like pretend pathetic gods...

heaven help us all... I joke in a black humour kind of way that only a serious asteroid / meteor hit can save us now... yes the evil twerps will go underground hoping to emerge and carry on ruling the world but the digital network will be disrupted - seriously disrupted and any normal humans surviving the chaos are going to be very strong and healthy..... being locked up together for years is perhaps a fate that would suit the so called elite karmically for their unforgiveable treachery...

it's (asteroid hit) not really a fun filled prospect and perhaps we can pull it all back from the brink... it's just that so many are brainwashed at the moment - and there HAVE been 'resets' in the past from natural disasters..

Epic: Congressman Chip Roy Rages on House Floor Over Absurd New Mask Mandate (https://www.infowars.com/posts/epic-congressman-chip-roy-rages-on-house-floor-over-absurd-new-mask-mandate/):

Rep. Chip Roy (R-Texas) gave an impassioned rant against new face mask rules being imposed at the US Capitol in Washington DC.
On Wednesday, Capitol physician Dr. Brian Monahan advised bringing back the mask requirement following Tuesday’s announcement by the CDC that both unvaccinated and vaccinated Americans need to wear face masks.
SVJSlIjuVvw
Rep. Roy was trying to call attention to the dire situation at the southern US border, where Covid-infected illegals are pouring in unchecked, when he segued to the new mask rules.
“We have a crisis at our border and we are playing footsie with mask mandates in the people’s house,” Roy stated.
“It’s absolutely absurd what this body is doing, the people’s house. It’s an embarrassment. A mockery.
“The American people are fed up. They want to go back to life. They want to go back to bills. They want to go back to school without their children being forced to wear masks. To have mental health issues.
“We are running around here, the Speaker comes down here at 10:00 in the morning saying we have to wear masks in the people’s house?
“We have thousands of people pouring across our border and democrats don’t do anything about it, heavily infected with Covid.

“We have ‘The New York Times’ today, what a mess. ‘C.D.C. About to Reverse on Indoor Masking for the Vaccinated,’ quote-unquote. This is some serious stuff that will only breed resentment. No kidding. Consider resentment being magnified right here on the floor of the House of Representatives. We are absolutely sick and tired of it. So are the American people.
“This sham of an institution is doing nothing for the American people. Nothing for the betterment of the people that send their representatives here.
“I just met this morning with an organization that tries to take care of people from human trafficking. Met with an elected official from Mexico. While cartels are raping and pillaging and killing. We have people infected with Covid coming through our southern border into Texas and you-all put masks up, masks up front here, here on the people’s house? We have to go around and say, ok, we can’t come to the floor, I can’t execute my constitutional duty unless I wear a mask.
Roy then asked the obvious question: if the vaccines work, why do people need to wear masks?
“Which is it? Vaccines or masks? Do the vaccines work or not? Do the masks work or don’t work? I’d like to know which it is. I’d like Dr. Fauci to come down and answer a single question about natural immunity. You have been infected with the virus, do you have immunity? Or are they going to go around poking people saying you must take a vaccine? ‘Sorry, the vaccine doesn’t work, you must wear a mask.’ This institution is a sham. We should adjourn and shut this place.”
On Thursday, Capitol Police issued a bulletin (https://www.infowars.com/posts/rep-massie-challenges-pelosi-after-threat-to-arrest-non-maskers-arrest-my-entire-staff-we-are-not-wearing-masks/) notifying officers to arrest non-mask wearing visitors and staffers who refuse to wear a mask.

In her effort to be cordial and diplomatic, to pleasantly agree to disagree, she’s woefully ambiguous and perhaps inadvertently promoting the lies around “CV19”, masks, and the jab.

HBO’s “Real Time” host Bill Maher excoriated the CDC’s new mask guidance in his opening monologue on Friday, saying they’re just trying to “cover their ass” as the COVID vaccine is shown to be all but useless.
“The CDC put out new mask guidelines now, which is, it’s all just so f*cking confusing,” Maher admitted.

“Indoors, outdoors, vaccinated, not vaccinated, masked, not masked, the Walmart shoppers don’t know who to punch anymore.”

“So, now we’re back to wearing the mask from the front of the restaurant until the waiter brings the breadsticks. It’s called science, people!” he continued.
“Sometimes, I think we have to cover our faces so other people can cover their ass.”
Maher even correctly suggested that the so-called “Delta variant” came about from vaccinated individuals.

“And by the way, wash the mask. I see people with very filthy masks out there. ‘I don’t want to get the delta variant.’ Your mask grew the delta variant!” he added.
Liberal darling Bill Maher turning against the Democrat-led CDC is just another sign the Biden administration and the scientific community has lost control of the narrative.

Here's a fine, perceptive, persuasive and well written analysis of masks, what they're good for (studies show - "not much") and what they harm (quite a bit, and rather serious).

The Masking of America - Faceless people make compliant subjects, not good citizens. (Claremont Review of Books; Jeffrey H. Anderson) (https://claremontreviewofbooks.com/the-masking-of-america/)

This article concludes with:

=== ===


The Face of Freedom

In sum, not only do masks apparently not work as advertised, they are uncomfortable and unhygienic. They obscure our humanity and undermine our children’s development. They prevent us from seeing the emotions, sensibilities, and affections of others, or sharing our own. They limit communication and erode understanding. They profoundly compromise human interaction and substantially reduce our quality of life.

Public health officials understand none of this. They pretend that mask-wearing is an action without a cost. Or perhaps, because they are neither trained nor inclined to look at the whole picture of human society, they are simply blind to these costs. Their guiding light is the avoidance of risk—narrowly defined as the risk of becoming sick or dying. The risk of stifling, enervating, or devitalizing human society is not even part of their calculation. Under their influence, America has been conducting an experiment in mask-wearing based largely on unsupported scientific claims and an impoverished understanding of human existence. It is an experiment we should not repeat.

Science Has Proven M@sk Mandates Are More Harmful to Children than C0VlD?

Mask mandates are back. I told you over a year ago that this would happen. Even those who are vaccinated, according to the CDC must wear masks indoors at all times. What about the 10s of millions of kids headed back to school will be forced to wear masks even though science has proven that mask wearing is more dangerous for children than covid. Plus you'll hear from Leila Centner and why she says parents need to step up and protect their kids.

I was thinking of attending some tennis matches in Toronto at the Rogers Cup (Aug 7-15)
but as soon as I saw they were implementing a mandatory face mask policy I decided not to go.

I've been watching several matches online and have been surprised to see 80-90% of the fans not
wearing masks. I was very glad to see that.

The tournament officials obviously decided not to enforce their rule (or perhaps simply realized it would be futile).
Either way it's great to see.

It's also a great barometer of what the general public thinks about this whole plandemic

I'm pleased to report that I'm seeing more and more people not wearing masks whilst grocery shopping, also fewer staff not wearing them.

Two things I've noticed - there are more mask-wearers in high-end supermarkets like Waitrose and M&S Food. This aligns with the vaccine hesitancy graph shown in this post (https://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?115420-Vaccinated&p=1445745&viewfull=1#post1445745), which states that the higher-educated are more likely to agree to the jab - and therefore agreeing with the whole mainstream agenda - apart from people educated to doctorate level. Waitrose is a posh shop where the moneyed, professional people go.

Also, I'm looking at who is not wearing masks and I'm seeing two distinct age groups; the young, in their teens and 20s, and the middle-aged, about 45 to 60.

Is Arnold speaking from a place of science or is he experiencing anxiety

The scientific case against masks

This past week, Arnold Schwarzenegger took to Instagram to tell all Americans who are getting a bit antsy about the overreach of their government that we are foolish science-denying rubes who are selfishly focused on that inconsequential thing we call human liberty. His exact quote was: “I think people need to be reminded over and over that the experts are saying you have to wear masks… [For those of you shouting] ‘My freedom is being disturbed….’ Screw your freedom.”

Well, maybe we should do exactly what the Terminator implies and attend to what the real scientists have to say about all this. In other words, rather than spouting off on Instagram, let’s look at the longitudinal data presently available and ask some good questions. Questions like, Is there anything that demonstrates wearing masks is an efficacious strategy for mitigating the spread of Covid19? Is there any statistical proof that validates Mr. Schwarzenegger’s scold? Is he right in telling us to “screw our freedom” and, thereby, don a paper or cloth mask to prove we are a science-believing and virtuous people?

Interestingly, when you take the time to read a bit, you quickly discover that this mask-shaming from America’s intelligentsia is – well, how should say this scientifically? – Stupid.

Cultural commentator, Allie Beth Stuckey, has done us all a favor in providing the following compilation of pertinent research and science-based information concerning the question of masks.

Since the onset of this pandemic, Sweden has never mandated masks. In January 2021, only 12% of Swedes said they wore a mask all the time, and 59% said they never did. The logical question is, how have they fared? Surely, their death rate is astronomical compared to the United States, where 93% of adults report that they sometimes or often wear masks and 72% say they always do. Well, the fact is the Swedes haven’t fared any worse than Americans, and their death rate attributed to Covid19 is lower than that of other countries such as Great Britain, which has imposed draconian mask mandates on its people.

That’s not good enough, you say. You want more than just one sample from a relatively small country in northern Europe. I agree, so consider this:

Israel reinstated its mask mandate for fear that not doing so would overwhelm the health care system (sound familiar?). What did this accomplish? Apparently, nothing in that Israel’s cases have risen at basically the exact same rate as other countries, such as the Netherlands, which did the exact opposite.

The Centre for Evidence-Based Medicine at Oxford University wrote as far back as 2010 that masks present no significant effect in interrupting the spread of an influenza virus in the general population or within the ranks of health care workers.

Norway’s Institute for Public Health says that masks are so ineffective as to have minimal effect on the infection rates of the general population.

The New England Journal of Medicine told us as recently as May 2020 that “We know that wearing a mask outside health care facilities offers little, if any, protection from infection” and that, “In many cases, the desire for widespread masking is a reflexive reaction to anxiety over the pandemic.”

A study from Japan concluded that “Face mask use … has not been demonstrated to provide benefit in terms of getting colds and that a larger study is needed to establish noninferiority of no mask use.”

A 2010 study by Cambridge University found, “There is little evidence to support the effectiveness of face masks to reduce the risk of infection.”

A study from Oxford Clinical Infectious Diseases found that “there is no evidence [that cloth masks provide] protection [from the] transmission of pathogens when used repeatedly without adequate sterilization.”

A Danish study published in the Annals of Internal Medicine in November 2020 found “no statistically significant effect of high-quality medical face masks against SARS-CoV-2 infection in a community setting.”

Senator Rand Paul (who is a real doctor, by the way) has recently said, “No one should follow [these] anti-science mask mandates… No more! [W]e will not allow [the government] to do more harm to our children [who are not statistically] at any more risk from COVID-19 than they are for the seasonal flu… We are at a moment of truth and a crossroads. Will we allow these people to use fear and propaganda to do further harm to our society, economy, and children?… Or will we stand together and say, absolutely not. Not this time. I choose freedom.”

Call me crazy, but I think I’ll stand with a legitimate scientist who says he will fight for my freedom rather than some Hollywood RINO who’s telling me to “screw it.”

Today the MSM news showed a map of States with mask mandates including in schools. I think there were 12 States that are mandating masks including my State, Oregon. Why do they mandate masks if there is absolutely no science that masks work and never talk about the science that shows the harm that masking causes. If this is incorrect show us the science. All the science out there shows a virus can easily pass trough a mask. This should always remain a personal choice for each of us.

[helium]

If it's possible to elevate the discussion just a bit, and momentarily leave the politics behind, maybe a few of you might be interested in a fellow I spoke with the other day. His name is John.

Now, I've worked in clean rooms where medical devices are manufactured. I was an engineer with experience moving devices' through the FDA approval process via testing. I also designed tooling for manufacturing. Most of it involved robotics. The clean rooms I worked in were cleaner that the customary operating room. Of course masks were a key piece of gear needed to enter that clean room. I will say that when people began whining about having to wear a mask I was a bit clueless as to why they'd do so. Masks never harmed me. In Japan masks were worn for decades prior to COVID because women didn't want to put makeup on to go out, or you just didn't want any social interaction. So obviously we have some cultural differences.

I'm posting this for anyone who actually needs to wear a mask. One might want to mask up to avoid possible shedded spike protein from a vaxed crowd. If you do so, there are masks that can work reasonably well. The other thing to keep in mind within a genuinely infectious environment is that your eyes require proper protection. Any minor cuts on your hands or other skin must be protected.

Personally, I want to have what it takes to deal with truly infectious situations even if the they never occur. So early in the plandemic I sought the best masks that I could get. And there were no masks to be found. Until I ran across the very last of the SpectraSheild Defender masks and paid a high price for them. Then the Canadian website selling these masks immediately changed their webpage informing us that they will NOT ship masks to the US. Well, **** (short word for excrement), I thought, this sure looks like the US government does not want anyone to have masks. Also, it was very weird that the FDA no longer approved these masks for use in the US. My suspicions at that time eventually turned into the truth we live today. We are targets to be manipulated into position.

So anyway, I know I'm going to catch flack for sharing this stuff but I happen to think that this little story of mine and the product that I was led to is worth sharing. And I'm not a shill. John has no idea I'm posting this. But I'm sure he wouldn't mind. The fact is, my expensive Defender masks lasted for more than a year and I still have a few unused. I've been thinking lately that I might decide to hang around longer than I'd planned. After all, my pacemaker battery is good for another four years. I have doubts that the technology will exist when it comes time to replace it. But if I make such a decision to wear out that battery, I'll have to prepare. I'm thinking that masks might be difficult to find as time goes on. Money may well become useless so why not spend it while I can get something useful for it. I wanted more masks but couldn't justify buying the cheap crap on the market. I began trying to find the Defender masks to see if they were available now that manufacturing had settled down. By the way, I recall seeing videos on news reports coming out of China around February and March of 2020 with Chinese lab workers and scientists wearing the Defender mask with the SpectraSheild logo in plain sight.

Double weird, I thought, since the product was then partially made in china it makes sense that the chinese would have the masks, but there were none available for Canada, Europe, and the US. To get to the point, I found the masks for sale online at the links Ill provide below. The email exchange I had with the company before attempting an online order led me to a phone conversation with John. He and his partner Marlene turned out to be some of the most down-to-earth intelligent people I've encountered in a long time. We talked a lot about nutritional supplements and all the usual COVID stuff. But then we talked about the struggle to get these valuable masks back on the US market. Here are the qualities of these masks that I'm talking about:

They are sturdy, and molded to fit the face. The straps are elastic but not uncomfortable due to the fit (NOT around the ears). The masks now have FDA approval as an N95 mask (which they lost early in 2020 or prior?). In Canada (to my knowledge) they are approved (or were) as N99 masks. In most of the old pre-plandemic literature and media they were identified as N99. They seal, and they filter very well, perhaps as good as needed for raw viruses not floating around on microscopic spit, and were found effective for big-name virus outbreaks in the past. What they do really well is that they sanitize themselves. If they catch bacteria or viral debris they incapacitate it. These masks are rated at 12 hours continuous use, and are also rated for 28 days of use. And I know from experience that they can be used longer than 28 days.

What you have here is a mask that can be trusted to a significant degree when you need a mask, and it's a mask that will not kill you from exposure to your own exhaled bacterial or viral load, or grow mold or other organisms. Why rescind approval for such a product when it's needed most? Why make it utterly unavailable? They do not call this thing a plandemic for nothing.

If the forum doesn't like the fact that I'm sharing these links to a product (with no intent to pimp that product) then take down the post or erase the links. If the idea of actually speaking about or advocating mask use is upsetting to y'all then rise up and ban the post.

Click through the links to more info if you wish then go back to your political discussions. Which, by the way, I follow closely and I am in agreement with practically everyone here. But it so happens that masks have been an integral part of my scientific and engineering life which gives me something of a perspective on them.

This is the main MedMasks website with an older video intro to the mask technology:

http://medmasksllc.com/news_videos.php

This is an introduction to the fabric itself and it's treatment. Yes, It's made out of those plastic bottles you put in the recycle bin. Yuck. But fabric similar to what's used in these masks is hanging on clothing racks at REI stores all over the US. It's the fabric that is not supposed to stink no matter how much you sweat.

http://medmasksllc.com/news_media.php

Granted, most members here will gag at the thought of putting plastic on their face, and worse, plastic impregnated with chemicals. But if you find yourself in need of filtering biologicals from the air you breathe and you don't have a positive pressure bunnysuit, then there just isn't anything better on the market that I know of, at a reasonable price.

This post sure sounds like a sales pitch but it's not. I say that if you need to wear a mask, wear one that WORKS. If you're going to wear a mask simply because someone is coercing you somehow, then wear a fancy cloth mask with artwork of your choice. I do.

If you ever plan ahead for SHFT scenarios or you are the kind of person who in the absence of medical assistance will naturally assist with those who are ill and potentially infectious, these masks would be a good thing to have on hand.

I have stopped wearing a mask in shops etc. I can no longer comply with any of this BS. I found that I was complying because it was easier to comply and it took no courage. I knew I was acting in a cowardly and hypocritical manner, so I had to change, and i did.

In Ireland you can be exempted from wearing a mask for a number of reasons, one of those reasons is if it causes you 'severe distress'. The law states you may be asked to wear a mask in a public place however once the person has stated their exemption no further questioning on the hows/whys etc is allowed.

I regularly get asked to wear a mask in shops and I have had no problems so far once I have declared my exemption.

It does feel good to be free of the muzzle.

Ah! To muzzle or Not to muzzle - that is the question!

I once muzzled to make a living - and to provide some pretty cool medical devices to the entire world, devices that reduced considerable trauma and suffering, let alone efficacy in emergency situations. I thought it was a small price to pay (muzzling) for helping provide something that truly reduced suffering for hospital patients. Of course I'm comparing my apples to your oranges. But just one thing I want to point out. If you ever needed one of those medical devices you might wonder what it takes to put it on the market. I mean the human cost that goes beyond employees salaries and benefits. I worked among a very dedicated assembly crew now and then and their work environment was definitely not comfy, mask or not. It took fifteen minutes to get gowned up and sterilized so that the world wouldn't become infected by OUR (the employee's) bodies. We'd all appreciate a little tip of the hat from a satisfied customer.

Those folks in the public areas, stores and what not, might not feel comfortable at all around someone without a mask. Do the masks do any good? Of course not. Not in many cases, anyway. The junk masks I see hanging from people's chins and the cloth masks are useless.

But when you're asked to put the mask on momentarily it might occur to you that the masked crowd are treating this as an emotional thing and not a practical issue. It can't hurt to give a little and endure a bit of discomfort to reduce the 'angst load' of those who are perhaps finding their way, or should be handled with care since they're utterly lost. In other words, it's not about you. It's about coercion coming from the highest powers, handed down to the lowest levels. They want to create stress. We probably shouldn't be helping them by creating more of it. We may even be able to counteract the negative effects of the mania being handed down from on high.

If the time ever comes when using a mask (or fully outfitted clean room) becomes a life or death necessity, everyone's attitude will change. That saggy useless mask you see on those faces is a symbol and nothing else. Good thing is, WE can define the symbol into something meaningful and useful for us. To me, that symbol ROARS stupidity, utter stupidity. Which makes me realize just how big the task at hand really is. How will I manage it? How will WE manage it?

[avid]

Somehow, face mask ‘chocolate fire-guard’ or not, is safety for some. Anonymity, less chance for open debate, a ‘hideaway’. I am isolatory, and will still wear the disposable useless mask ‘in deference’, but it is my choice to be a recluse, and if masks were outlawed I would feel vulnerable again, not because of germies, but I would lose my anonymity, my choice to ignore unwelcomed chit-chat from acquaintances, weird? For me, as public face for over 32 years in education, it’s a welcome relief.

[DaveToo]

As I have mentioned several times in this thread, since the plandemic started I have never worn a mask in a shop/commercial establishment.
The few shops that have refused to allow me in simply lost my business.

I am often reminded/asked to wear a mask upon entry to a store/bank/restaurant/office etc. at which point
I simply say I have a medical exemption and am granted entry, no further questions.

I want to simplify my life, not complicate it, and feel this is the easiest way to circumvent the arbitrary
law imposed upon us now.

I have an uplifting anecdotal story for today.
I was shopping earlier this evening in a big supermarket.
Since mid 2020 when masks began to be mandated here I must have seen three or four people in total not wearing a face mask, in all the stores I visited.

This evening I saw three people without a mask! It was wonderful to see. :)
One woman was in her mid-20's.

I hope this will be the start of a trend! It's long overdue.

In other words, it's not about you. It's about coercion coming from the highest powers, handed down to the lowest levels. They want to create stress. We probably shouldn't be helping them by creating more of it. We may even be able to counteract the negative effects of the mania being handed down from on high.


If the time ever comes when using a mask (or fully outfitted clean room) becomes a life or death necessity, everyone's attitude will change. That saggy useless mask you see on those faces is a symbol and nothing else. Good thing is, WE can define the symbol into something meaningful and useful for us. To me, that symbol ROARS stupidity, utter stupidity. Which makes me realize just how big the task at hand really is. How will I manage it? How will WE manage it?

You say it can't hurt to "give a little and endure a bit of discomfort" but it does hurt, it hurts everyone by continuing to give credibility to an obvious lie.

I don't see how tip toeing around peoples anxiety/stress levels by perpetuating and complying with the biggest hoax ever foisted on humanity can be a good thing.

By not wearing a mask we are signalling to those still living with propaganda induced fear that it is ok to throw away the muzzle and reject the fear. Doing otherwise is a disservice to yourself and others, imho.

I have stopped wearing a mask in shops etc. I can no longer comply with any of this BS. I found that I was complying because it was easier to comply and it took no courage. I knew I was acting in a cowardly and hypocritical manner, so I had to change, and i did.

In Ireland you can be exempted from wearing a mask for a number of reasons, one of those reasons is if it causes you 'severe distress'. The law states you may be asked to wear a mask in a public place however once the person has stated their exemption no further questioning on the hows/whys etc is allowed.

I regularly get asked to wear a mask in shops and I have had no problems so far once I have declared my exemption.

It does feel good to be free of the muzzle.


Ah! To muzzle or Not to muzzle - that is the question!

I once muzzled to make a living - and to provide some pretty cool medical devices to the entire world, devices that reduced considerable trauma and suffering, let alone efficacy in emergency situations. I thought it was a small price to pay (muzzling) for helping provide something that truly reduced suffering for hospital patients. Of course I'm comparing my apples to your oranges. But just one thing I want to point out. If you ever needed one of those medical devices you might wonder what it takes to put it on the market. I mean the human cost that goes beyond employees salaries and benefits. I worked among a very dedicated assembly crew now and then and their work environment was definitely not comfy, mask or not. It took fifteen minutes to get gowned up and sterilized so that the world wouldn't become infected by OUR (the employee's) bodies. We'd all appreciate a little tip of the hat from a satisfied customer.

Those folks in the public areas, stores and what not, might not feel comfortable at all around someone without a mask. Do the masks do any good? Of course not. Not in many cases, anyway. The junk masks I see hanging from people's chins and the cloth masks are useless.But when you're asked to put the mask on momentarily it might occur to you that the masked crowd are treating this as an emotional thing and not a practical issue.

I heartily agree. There are many ways that one can respond to the situation and they are all valid in their own right. The worst response, though, is one mired in victimhood and pain - emotional and physical. Recognizing that your motivations for wearing the masks were not productive is the first step toward figuring out a better way.

My point being that confrontation can and does work. I've used that tactic a lot in this life. Yet there is a path that acknowledges the pettiness of the mask issue which leads to dismissing it for it's ineffectiveness while focusing on other methods of dealing with the poor normies who know no better than to blindly follow the dictates from on high.

My apologies for not speaking with clarity. There is obviously no one correct way to think and act. Knowing one's deep down motivations, though, is most important.

I am greatly challenged by the ignorance surrounding me. I always have been. I suspect that the real challenges are just ahead. I keep thinking that once the facade has fallen and the masses are utterly floundering and know that they are lost, then perhaps they might listen to some calm reason. In other words, I'm saying that for me to be effective in this world it needs to fail. That disturbs me. I do not want my life's fulfillment predicated on the failure of others. What pisses me off is that seems to be what I'm facing, like it or not.

I wanted to insert some useful mask information and I did. I do know that there is much to consider when dealing with the socio-political aspects of the mask mandates. There is much confusion, though, and choices to be made.

Red is grey and yellow white.
But we decide which is right.
And which is an illusion?

Who? You, me? All of us? Or are you just poking me with a stick to see if I'll squirm? :waving:

If by melancholy you mean staring the best interpretation of reality that one can muster directly in the eye, then so be it. Yes, scary it is. From a 'certain point of view', that is. (Poor Luke Skywalker, when confronted with that phrase.)

I find myself celebrating the chaos (from a certain point of view) because it brings illumination. Hidden levers and buttons, hidden influences, are becoming less hidden. I certainly don't celebrate young athletes who cling to an aircraft landing gear in desperation and then fall to the ground. Other than I do celebrate their choice in the face of torture and probably long, drawn out death at the hands of mindless brutes who should never have had their lands invaded and should have had to invent everything that they use as weapons. The idea of a non-interference directive is now too late to implement. Or perhaps one way to come to the conclusion that such a directive is imperative is to place the world into dire circumstances such as exist in the moment. At that point we'd have to admit that we are the ones who are wielding technologies in an unsafe, irresponsible manner.

Or maybe melancholy is what happens when there are no words to frame a suitable response to the unprecedented impudence of those hidden manipulators who lust for terror, blood, and death.

And now, I don my mask, my blanky, my only comfort. Behind my mask nobody can hear me scream.

Hi all, looking for a bit of help

I don't wear a mask myself and haven't in the last 18 months. I was one of the lucky ones who managed to get an exemption from my doctor. I've have never shown that letter to anyone nor will i. I keep it as backup in case i ever find myself in court where i will produce it to a judge. I've had several confrontations with security staff in that time but now they know me and know that i know the legislation so they leave me alone. I've only once seen another person not wearing a mask here where i live (Wicklow, Ireland) when out food shopping.

My 14 year old is opting for homeschooling this year which is great. Hopefully he'll stick it out. I can't bear to see the indoctrination that's happening to the kids. They are being taught, sometimes subtly sometimes not subtly, that germs are bad and masks, obsessive handwashing/hand santitsing, vaccines etc are all godd things to do. The teaching they receive in school totally undermines anything I'm saying to them.

My 12 year is starting secondary school (big school) in a few weeks. She's terribly excited about it & doesn't want to be homeschooled at this point. I want to respect that for her. She wants the experience of big school and so be it. She will have to wear that damn mask while there. My long winded question is this (and sorry for the long intro :-) )

Does anyone know of any "healthier masks" that are on the market and where i could buy them?

Thanks!

I opted for a cloth mask when I've had to wear one, less toll on environment as reusable and takes away the issue of potential fibres (morgellons?) being smuggled into it. No idea if that's happened or not but there's been some videos circulating which made me want to avoid the medical ones if possible.

I don't think they do anything positive for the wearer unless you're symptomatic when they may reduce spread of droplets. So I'd suggest one layer, machine washable, natural fabric and enough of them so that your daughter can swap one morning and afternoon so she's not constantly rebreathing the same bacteria laden fabric. Amazon had them in packs of 5, or if you can find someone that was making them even better. Course Kids don't want to look out of place so the other option could be for her to choose.

Oh and this may sound daft, but when I had to wear one I used to think 'cancel cancel' when I was putting it on to cancel any kind of association with the controllers or any occult aspects to this ritual, because I believe it is a ritual. I also pointed at my chin and told people 'there's a smile under there for you', which helped to lighten the mood, well my mood anyway. That may or may not be something to discuss with a 12 year old! :)

Oh and one of the most depressing sights has been seeing kids wearing them walking home on their own, so don't let her be that kid!

Best wishes to you all, hope her intro to big school goes well. :sun:

This whole discussion reminds one of the many distracting rabbit holes that one encountered a few years ago when researching the whole 9-11 horror show.

After having read Laura Dodsworth's most excellent book "A State of Fear" (https://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?115248-BOOK-A-State-of-Fear-Laura-Dodsworth-pub.-Pinter-and-Martin--2021-) and therein actually being told (and I paraphrase a little) from an anonymous member of the SAGE SPI-B group of behavioural psychologists that "..we like masks because they suggest togetherness..", for me more or less confirmed what I'd suspected all along: they are a psychological device, nothing more.

Another article that may be compatible with helium's interesting and educational contribution I'd recommend is by Roger Koops : The Year of Disguises (https://avalonlibrary.net/Coronavirus_%28Wuhan_2019-nCov%29/Facemasks/The_Year_of_Disguises%20_%20AIER_article_Roger_Koops_Oct_2020.pdf) - he is an 'organic' chemist.

Here, on page 6:


For example, CV has good stability on plastic (1/2 life of almost 8 hours) and has even been detected up to one week on surgical masks.....Skin can actually be good at destabilizing because of not only sweat but also the natural oils and detergents that are produced in the skin can break apart these types of molecules. That is a reason that skin absorption is not considered a vector of infection.

He deals with masks themselves more specifically from page 9.

This, from page 12:


... I will say that there has been only ONE type of mask, the╔SURGICAL mask, which has shown any ability to reduce, not eliminate, virus transmission because it is actually rated to a 100 nanometer pore size AND it is rated for ingress and egress. But, the SURGICAL mask is not intended for use outside of a controlled, sterile hospital surgical field where its use and function can be controlled. It has limitations.

The case had been closed for me really early on during this absurd and dangerous theatre and requires little, if any, further elaboration.

I really would recommend that his article is read and understood.

A great companion piece is Aaron and Melissa Dyke's work: The Occult Ritual Transformation and Covid-19 (https://avalonlibrary.net/Coronavirus_%28Wuhan_2019-nCov%29/The_Occult_Ritual_Transformation_and_Covid-19_Truthstream_Media_%28July_2020%29.mp4) where masking forms part of the initiation ritual into a new way/religion/reset. Again, thoroughly recommended viewing.

Covid, Science and Politics – the Case of Face Masks
Published on 08/23/2021
By Robert Dingwall

Source: Social Science Space blog (https://www.socialsciencespace.com/2021/08/covid-science-and-politics-the-case-of-face-masks/)

A troubling turn in the public policy management of the Covid-19 pandemic has been the increasing tendency to justify interventions by assertions of scientific truth that bely the uncertainty of the evidence on which they are based. Nowhere, perhaps, is this more obvious than in the case of mandatory face masks in community settings, particularly, but not exclusively, in the USA. Otherwise well-respected scientists and scholars seem to have decided that, if they announce that black is white often enough, then this will indeed be the case. Such pronouncements have more in common with the Ministry of Truth in George Orwell’s 1984 that with anything we might have recognized as appropriate professional behaviour in 2019.


Nothing that follows should be taken as an argument against the truly voluntary adoption of face masks by those who feel personally reassured by wearing them, regardless of the paucity of evidence. However, for masks to be mandated as an act of policy, whether by public or private interests, the bar must be set higher. This is what the long-established, and much misquoted, precautionary principle is about: both the alleged benefits and harms of interventions should be rigorously evaluated and the benefits shown to be proportionate before it is legitimate to act. When in doubt, do nothing. If precipitate action is necessary in an emergency, it should be evaluated at the first opportunity to determine whether it was indeed effective and should ever be adopted again. This is fundamental to the legitimacy of state laws, regulations or decrees or of private practices that might otherwise be considered exclusionary or discriminatory. Interventions without an evidence base are arbitrary acts of power, which rest on coercion, whether direct or indirect, for compliance rather than on the willing assent of those affected.

Classically, the most robust type of evidence for evaluating interventions of this kind is a randomized controlled trial (RCT). There is a dearth of these – and most have been conducted in the context of other respiratory infections – but they generally find little or no benefit. Well-respected figures in public health have been calling for investment in RCTs since the late spring or early summer of 2020 but opportunities have not been taken. Policy leaders have failed to fund RCTs of any NPI (non-pharmaceutical intervention) in the way they have funded trials of potential therapies or vaccine development. We are, then, left with two other main sources of evidence.

One is studies at various scales of the impact of mask mandates on reported infection rates. These may compare cities, states, provinces or entire nations using time series data to look for inflections of rates that may be attributable to the mandates. A great deal of mathematical ingenuity has been expended in trying to control for the numerous confounders from biases in reporting, differences in diagnosis, leads and lags in public behaviour in response to the mandates, seasonal fluctuations, mobility – the list is almost endless. By the time these manipulations are complete, though, it is very difficult to conclude that there is any clear and obvious effect. Infection rates do not seem to vary much between comparable communities regardless of the NPIs that have been introduced. I have yet to see a study that identifies a clear and unequivocal benefit from a mask mandate in the form of an obvious inflection point attributable to the intervention. For all the reasons cited, this would be hard to find so perhaps we should not treat its absence as conclusive proof of a lack of benefit so much as something that is consistent with the RCT evidence that any benefit is likely to be minimal.

The other main source of evidence is laboratory studies of the properties of masks using techniques from physics and engineering. Some studies treat masks as a straightforward air filtration experiment. These are well-controlled and reproducible, but bear little resemblance to real-world conditions. The more sophisticated studies use mannikins to create a jet of air carrying inert particles into a controlled space, mimicking human exhalation. Masks can then be used to interrupt the air flow. The resulting measurements are the basis for computational models that provide more general descriptions of the spread of particles, which may be used to create video simulations. These studies are often elegant but suffer familiar problems in generalizing to real-world environments. Within reason, the experimenter can manipulate the average velocity of the jet, the size of particles and the permeability of the mask in ways that aim to mimic breathing at different rates, coughing or sneezing. To get reliable measurements, including video or photographic evidence of the dispersion of the particles, the simulated exhalations must enter still air. Air, however, is never still in the real world. In any space there are thermal currents that are moving air around and dispersing exhalations in ways that are not captured, and probably cannot be captured, by the experimenter in a physically meaningful way. The efficacy of masks is also sensitive to the choice of particle size. If the experimenter favours droplets, larger particles, masks capture these quite well – but they also fall quickly to the ground and are unlikely to be inhaled by anyone at a normal social distance. If the experimenter favours aerosols, smaller particles, these are likely to pass through or around cloth masks, whose pore size is typically significantly larger than the aerosol particles. In which case the masks may filter a small proportion of the particles but probably let most through or around the edges. Where higher quality masks have been mandated, the community evidence runs into the same problems as before.

A blog of this kind is not the place for a full-on systematic review, although it is notable how few of those have been conducted to the standards that would usually be expected. What we have instead is a plethora of narrative reviews, which lack the discipline imposed by the systematic review method. It is probably not coincidental that the available systematic reviews tend to be less favourable to masks than those based on narrative methods, some of which come close to cherry-picking evidence. The intention here is simply to convey the fragility of claims to a definitive benefit from masks such as would justify mandating them.

The precautionary principle also requires a proper evaluation of the potential harms. Few such studies have actually been done but relevant issues can readily be identified. Four are clearly important. First, they discriminate against a large group of people with communicative disabilities of speech and hearing, with neurodisabilities, such as autism or Aspergers, or with mental health issues, such as prior trauma from confinement as an abused child or as a survivor of sexual assault. Second, they discriminate against people who have medical consequences such as acute skin infections, eye infections or respiratory infections as a result of mask use. In the pre-pandemic world, such people could find workplaces where these issues were avoided but they cannot escape the mandates. Third, there is the impact on child development, particularly in relation to language and social interaction. The American Academy of Pediatrics claimed that there was no evidence for this, but there is a substantial body of research from psychology, education and linguistics establishing the importance of observing faces, particularly for small children. Fourth, and perhaps hardest to measure, there is the impact on community levels of fear and anxiety. This, indeed, has been the ultimate fall-back for committed advocates of masks – they may not have an impact on the transmission of the virus but they remind everyone that there is a pandemic going on and that they should be cautious every time they set foot outside their home – the safety of the home is assumed, of course. The consequence, of course, is that we are nudged towards regarding our fellow human beings as no more than potential vectors of infection. Everyone is guilty until proven innocent. The trust on which everyday life depends in modern societies is fatally compromised.

If we do not think it is acceptable to have our lives ordered in ways that discriminate against large sections of the population, that impair the development of children, that damage the mental health of the nation and that make each of us fearful of the other, then it is time to hold the advocates of masking to account for the quality of evidence. It is simply too fragile to justify coercive measures, whether by the state or by private actors. Why has there been so little investment in RCTs? Why are mask advocates now arguing that RCTs would be unethical because the benefits are obvious, when they patently are not? It is more unethical to perpetuate a practice without evidence than to challenge one’s preconceptions. This is truly how science progresses and debate should be conducted.

Lou: ‘How will I make them sick if I’m NOT sick and they’re vaccinated.’
Bud: ‘Because you’re unvaccinated.’
Lou: ‘But they’re vaccinated.’
Bud: ‘But they can still get sick.’
Lou: ‘So what the heck does the vaccine do?’
Bud: ‘It vaccinates.’
Lou: ‘So vaccinated people can’t spread covid?’
Bud: ‘Oh no. They can spread covid just as easily as an unvaccinated person.’
Lou: ‘I don’t even know what I’m saying anymore. Look. I’m not sick.
Bud: ‘Ok.’
Lou: ‘And the guy you let in IS sick.’
Bud: ‘That’s right.’

Lou: ‘But I have a mask!’
Bud: ‘Doesn’t matter.’
Lou: ‘I was able to come in here yesterday with a mask.’
Bud: ‘I know.’
Lou: So why can’t I come in here today with a mask? ….If you say ‘because I’m unvaccinated’ again, I’ll break your arm.’
Bud: ‘Take it easy buddy.’
Lou: ‘So the mask is no good anymore.’
Bud: ‘No, it’s still good.’
Lou: ‘But I can’t come in?’
Bud: ‘Correct.’
Lou: ‘Why not?’
Bud: ‘Because you’re unvaccinated.’
Lou: ‘But the mask prevents the germs from getting out.’
Bud: ‘Yes, but people can still catch your germs.’
Lou: ‘But they’re all vaccinated.’
Bud: ‘Yes, but they can still get sick.’
Lou: ‘But I’m not sick!!’
Bud: ‘You can still get them sick.’
Lou: ‘So then masks don’t work!’
Bud: ‘Masks work quite well.’
Lou: ‘So how in the heck can I get vaccinated people sick if I’m not sick and masks work?’
Bud: ‘Third base.’

Hi all, looking for a bit of help...

My 12 year is starting secondary school (big school) in a few weeks. She's terribly excited about it & doesn't want to be homeschooled at this point. I want to respect that for her. She wants the experience of big school and so be it. She will have to wear that damn mask while there. My long winded question is this (and sorry for the long intro :-) )

Does anyone know of any "healthier masks" that are on the market and where i could buy them?

Thanks!


By 'healthier', I assume you mean a mask that won't cause the wearer harm?

Over a year ago I experimented making home-made masks just for fun.
I knew I was unlikely to ever wear them in public, but wanted to have something
just in case an emergency situation presented itself. Luckily it never has.

My favorite home-made mask (the one I would recommend for your 12 year old)
consists of cheesecloth and rubber bands.
Cheesecloth comes in all different colors, shapes and sizes.

Just find one that appeals to you/your daughter and cut it down to an appropriate size.
Then sew the rubber bands on either side and bingo, you've got your face mask!

I have tested them out at home and can attest that they have minimal effect on breathing.
They also have the exact same effectiveness at keeping germs in/out as do
the commercial ones. :)

"STORY AT-A-GLANCE

While it’s normal, even healthy, to fear a pandemic, the fearmongering that’s occurred during the COVID pandemic has facilitated manipulation of the public and is putting freedom and civil liberties at risk
Author Laura Dodsworth describes the current state of affairs as a “political war on breathing,” such that if you have COVID-19, you become the “enemy,” your breath becoming your weapon
The moralization of COVID-19 mitigation measures has become so entrenched in society that the researchers believe they’ve reached the level of a sacred value
Now, each of us is a potential enemy, depending on whether or not our actions are deemed acceptable on the scale of COVID morality

Masks. Lockdowns. Quarantine. Fear.
They’re words that have become household terms since 2020. And while it’s normal, even healthy, to fear a pandemic, the fearmongering that’s occurred has facilitated manipulation of the public and is putting freedom and civil liberties at risk.

Author Laura Dodsworth, who wrote “A State of Fear,” which details how the U.K. government weaponized fear during the COVID-19 pandemic, explained:1

“In one of the most extraordinary documents ever revealed to the British public, the behavioral scientists advising the government said that a substantial number of people did not feel threatened enough by Covid-19 to follow the rules. They advised the government to increase our sense of ‘personal threat,’ to scare us into submission.”

She describes the current state of affairs as a “political war on breathing,”2 such that if you have COVID-19, you become the “enemy,” your breath becoming your weapon. As fear increases, so too does the desire for control, even when it concerns something as life-giving as breathing. “Breath,” Dodsworth wrote, “has fallen from sacred to sinful.”3

COVID Health Responses Are Moralized
The unprecedented restrictions implemented by governments around the globe during the pandemic have come with profound economic, social, physical and psychological health costs to society.

A U.K. study published in the journal Psychiatry Research, for example, found a significant rise in depression symptoms and a significant decline in wellbeing at lockdown, while over one-third of the university students were clinically depressed, up from 15% at baseline.4 Drug overdoses also skyrocketed.

From December 2019 to December 2020, there were 93,331 estimated overdose deaths in the U.S., which represents a 29.4% increase in 12 months.5 Certain states had an even higher year-over-year increase, including Kentucky, with overdose deaths increasing 53.7%, and West Virginia, with a 49.3% increase.

Such deaths, however, are justified by the COVID narrative as necessary to prevent COVID-19 deaths, justification that’s supported by the moralization of COVID-19 health responses. As explained by a study in the Journal of Experimental Social Psychology:6

“This moralization of health-based efforts may generate asymmetries in judgement, whereby harmful by-products of those efforts (i.e., instrumental harm) are perceived as more acceptable than harm resulting from non-C19 efforts, such as prioritizing the economy or non-C19 issues.”

In one of their experiments, public shaming, deaths and illnesses, and police abuse of power were considered to be more acceptable if related to efforts to minimize COVID-19 than when resulting from non-COVID-19 measures, such as reducing traffic deaths.7

In another experiment, subjects rated research quality less favorably when “questioning continuing a C19 elimination strategy in NZ [New Zealand] than one questioning abandoning an elimination strategy,” which suggests that questioning efforts to eliminate COVID-19 is morally condemned.8 The moralization of COVID-19 mitigation measures has become so entrenched in society that the researchers believe they’ve reached the level of a sacred value. According to Dodsworth:9

“Morality has been generally topsy-turvy in a time driven by fear. We have no tolerance for Covid deaths but seemingly little interest in deaths from other causes.

We were told we must protect the elderly, yet they were transferred from hospitals to care homes and … we discover that 50,000 dementia cases have been missed. The government showed a worrying enthusiasm for the furtive use of shaming, bullying and fear-mongering to make the nation comply with lockdown rules.

Culturally and economically, lockdown was easier for the middle classes and elite, rather than the working classes and front line workers who serviced them. Feminists tie themselves in knots explaining why ‘my body, my choice’ does not extend to vaccine mandates. Schools closed. People died alone at home. Focusing on one virus was never a simple moral equation.”

Ushering in Biopolitics
The pandemic has ushered in an era of biopolitics, a term first used by French philosopher Michel Foucault. As biopolitical governing increases, political control extends to the biological processes that control life itself. Biopower becomes the sovereign power and processes that govern human life are controlled under authoritarian rule.10

“Giorgio Agamben, the Italian philosopher, has written about the reduction of life to biopolitics,” Dodsworth wrote. “To simply reduce the theory, he says that the man who is 'accursed' (in this case infected or even potentially infected) can be set apart from normal society, and must live a 'bare life' — life reduced to the barest form. In the 'state of exception' normal laws and morals are forgotten.”11

The Use of Martial Language
Such transitions to a police state have been largely welcomed because of purposeful use of martial language suggesting we’re “at war” with SARS-CoV-2. Boris Johnson even compared GAVI (formerly the Global Alliance for Vaccines and Immunizations), funded by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation to NATO in 2020 and, in so doing, revealed a “seismic paradigm shift in how we perceive our 'enemies.'”12

Now, each of us is a potential enemy, depending on whether or not our actions are deemed acceptable on the scale of COVID morality. In June 2021, the U.S. National Security Council also released a new “National Strategy for Countering Domestic Terrorism.”13 While it’s being largely framed as a tool to fight white supremacy and political extremism, the definition of what constitutes a “domestic terrorist” is incredibly vague and based on ideologies.

Investigative journalist Glenn Greenwald stated that the end goal of the newly emerging war on domestic terrorism is to "essentially criminalize any oppositional ideology to the ruling class," adding, "There is literally nothing that could be more dangerous, and it's not fear-mongering or alarmism to say it.”14 As Dodsworth put it, a “war” against anything, be it a virus or different ideologies, is a tool that ushers in increased authoritarian control:15

“Martial language has been used throughout the epidemic. We are 'at war' with a virus … Fighting talk conveys strength and offers hope of winning when we feel out of control. But war also requires populations to make sacrifices and obey the chain of command. It reminds us we are not just at risk, we are the risk. We are the enemy.

… As war and terror justify a security state, the virus justifies a biosecurity state. Borders are redrawn from the geopolitical to biopolitical and policed by the state. The legal detention of healthy people, the punishment of rule-breakers and the mandating of vaccine passports are permitted by emergency laws but also enabled by a narrative of dehumanization.

People who break the rules are 'dangerous' (they might be infectious), 'stupid' and 'socially irresponsible'. The unsafe, unclean and dangerous might breach the air of the virtuous vaccinated. These attitudes originally arise from the natural fear of an epidemic, but they are upheld by the continuing manipulation of fears.”

Inconsistencies Cannot Be Questioned
Throughout the pandemic, health officials have flip-flopped on their guidance regarding masks, social distancing, asymptomatic spread and lockdowns. The initial lockdowns were intended to flatten the COVID-19 curve, but even after that happened, lockdowns continued, sometimes two and three times.

With each lockdown, society grew more distant, more accepting of isolation and, often, more fearful. Questions arose regarding the effectiveness of oppressive measures like these to curb infections, but those who spoke out were silenced.

The censorship is perhaps most profound among those asking for more information about COVID-19 vaccines and the risks of a mass vaccination campaign with an experimental product. The vaccines were supposed to stop the spread of COVID-19, but fully vaccinated people can still transmit the virus.16

Even the World Health Organization advises people who are vaccinated to continue wearing masks due to the Delta variant because “vaccine alone won’t stop community transmission.”17 The inconsistencies are deafening. As Dodsworth put it:18

“We are simultaneously told that if you have the vaccine you can still be infected with and spread Covid, but if you don’t take it you are putting others at risk. The argument should fold under the weight of its own incoherence, but instead vaccine passports are being mandated in multiple countries with eerie synchronicity. It’s not conspiracism or paranoia to be alarmed by such developments.”

Dr. Robert Malone, the inventor of the mRNA and DNA vaccine core platform technology,19 has also spoken out about the risks of COVID-19 gene therapy vaccines. Speaking with Aga Wilson with Newsvoice,20 Malone listed several adverse events that are already raising red flags. Another important point: censorship prevents full comprehension of these risks.

Cardiotoxicity

Coagulation problems

Female reproductive health concerns

Miscarriage in the first and second trimesters (this has not yet been confirmed), Thrombocytopenia (dropping blood platelets)

Brain and nervous system disorders

Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS)

It’s also a myth that the only way to reach herd immunity is through universal vaccination. As Malone said, “Herd immunity is most often reached through natural infection … Vaccines will not get us to herd immunity.”21

Divisiveness Brewing Between Vaxxed and Unvaxxed
At the start of the pandemic, there was talk of communities coming together and staying strong in a united front to beat the virus. Now, we’re seeing the rapid emergence of two sets of people — those who are vaccinated against COVID-19 and those who are not.

With the roll out of vaccine passports, unvaccinated people are being increasingly excluded from certain concert venues22 and travel, including being prohibited from entering certain pools, restaurants, parties and bars on cruise ships.23

New York City launched the Excelsior Pass,24 which documents your vaccine status and, as of August 16, 2021, proof of vaccination will be required to enter restaurants, gyms and theaters.25 Throughout the world, unvaccinated people are facing loss of privileges while being morally shamed and labeled selfish. Dodsworth wrote:26

“In Israel, the language used to describe the unvaccinated is depressingly divisive. ‘Those who refuse vaccines are endangering their health, those around them and the freedom of every Israeli citizen,' said prime minister Naftali Bennett.

'Those who refuse vaccines hurt us all because if all of us were vaccinated we would all be able to maintain daily life.' The unvaccinated are to be barred from much of public life, from cinemas to synagogues, unless they get tested.”

In a nod to the inconsistencies that have plagued the pandemic, no mention is made of people who have natural immunity from prior COVID-19 infection27 and choose not to get vaccinated for that reason. Meanwhile, “while crisis can catalyze exciting and positive change,” Dodsworth noted, “a new moral code should not be forged in fear.”28 Now is the time to step back and see through the fog before feeding into the fear and labeling friends and neighbors “enemies.”

“Soothing symptoms of anxiety” with graphene oxide; it’s in millions of masks
This is not a joke; it’s real
by Jon Rappoport
August 30, 2021
https://blog.nomorefakenews.com/2021/08/30/soothing-symptoms-of-anxiety-with-graphene-oxide-its-in-millions-of-masks/

"Graphenea.com: “Graphene is the thinnest compound known to man at one atom thick, the lightest material known…the strongest compound [ever] discovered…the best conductor of heat at room temperature…the best conductor of electricity known…potentially an eco-friendly, sustainable solution for an almost limitless number of applications. Since the discovery…of graphene, applications within different scientific disciplines have exploded, with huge gains being made particularly in high-frequency electronics, bio, chemical and magnetic sensors, ultra-wide bandwidth photodetectors, and energy storage and generation.”

—I’ll get to the “anti-anxiety” effects of graphene on the brain in a minute; first a review of the lung issues.

On April 2, 2021, Health Canada issued an advisory, warning people not to “use face masks labelled to contain graphene or biomass graphene.”

Andrew Maynard covers this issue in a medium.com article, “Manufacturers have been using nanotechnology-derived graphene in face masks—now there are safety concerns.”

Those concerns? Masks could create lung problems.

Maynard’s article traces the safety concerns to a Chinese mask manufacturer, Shandong, but points out that millions of graphene-containing masks are in use around the world, produced by a whole host of companies.

Recently, I saw a mask sold to a customer. It was sealed in a plain plastic bag. No manufacturer’s name, no list of materials in the mask, nothing but a bar code. Does the mask contain graphene? No way to know.

The mainstream literature on graphene is ambiguous and far from reassuring: ‘yes, it’s probably toxic to the lungs; perhaps not seriously so; perhaps only temporarily; there are more questions than answers.’

Why have these masks been certified anywhere in the world for public use? Why haven’t the CDC and the WHO made definitive statements about safety concerns? Why didn’t public health agencies, long ago, run/demand definitive tests to see whether, and to what extent, the nanoparticles of graphene detach themselves from various types of masks and enter the body?

At materialstoday.com, we have, “Is graphene safe?”

“But, it is the very nature of graphene that might be cause for concern: thin and lightweight, yet tough and intractable particles are notoriously worrisome in terms of the detrimental effects they can have on our health, particularly when breathed in…”

“Ken Donaldson is a respiratory toxicologist at the University of Edinburgh and he and his colleagues are among the first to raise the warning flag on graphene, at least for nanoscopic platelets of the material. It is not too great a leap of the imagination to imagine how such tiny flakes of carbon might be transported deep within the lungs similar to asbestos fibres and coal dust. Once lodged within, there is no likely mechanism for the removal or break down of such inert particles and they might reside on these sensitive tissues triggering a chronic inflammatory response or interfering with the normal cellular functions.”

Does this make any sane person feel safe about wearing a mask containing graphene particles?

“We have a new idea and a new product. It’s designed to force you to breathe in nanoparticles of graphene. Who knows what’ll happen? Try it and see.”

And now, on top of all that—Are millions of people walking around in a sedated dumbed-down haze, because they’re wearing masks?

(Yes, I know some researchers are making the claim that graphene oxide is contained in COVID vaccines. Their findings definitely call out for further investigation and confirmation.)

A large consortium, funded by the European Union, is conducting research on graphene oxide as an anxiety-reversal agent which affects the brain. The consortium is Graphene Flagship. They write:

“The Graphene Flagship is, along with the Human Brain Project, the first of the European Commission’s Future and Emerging Technology Flagships, whose mission is to address the big scientific and technological challenges of the age through long-term, multidisciplinary research and development efforts.”

They have published an article, “Soothing the symptoms of anxiety with graphene oxide.” Here are key quotes:

“Researchers from Graphene Flagship partners SISSA in Italy, ICN2 in Spain and the University of Manchester in the UK, in collaboration with the Ribeirão Preto Medical School of the University of São Paulo, have discovered that graphene oxide inhibits anxiety-related behaviours in a model study. They found that injecting graphene oxide into a specific region of the brain silences the neurons responsible for anxious behaviour.”

“Laura Ballerini, lead author of the paper and Professor of Physiology at Graphene Flagship partner SISSA, Italy, explains that graphene oxide disables communication between the synapses that cause this type of fear.”

“…’Two days after injecting graphene oxide into a specific region of the mouse’s brain, it behaved like other mice that had never experienced the smell of a cat in their home environment. In other words, graphene oxide inhibited the mouse’s anxiety-related behaviour,’ Ballerini explains.”

“Graphene oxide interrupts anxiety-related neuron signals without affecting the neurons, or the surrounding cells. In simple terms, it only ‘turns down’ the communications between specific neurons. In a disease where these communications are over-expressed, like PTSD and anxiety, targeting the synapses with graphene oxide is enough to halt the development of this pathological behaviour. This is a type of precision medicine.”

“Graphene oxide is naturally eliminated after a few days, as the surrounding tissue digests the material. Ballerini says that, after two days, they did not observe any inflammation, and no traces of graphene oxide remained at all.”

What happens when you walk around all day, day after day, breathing in graphene through a mask?

What happens to your lungs? To your brain? To your feelings? To the quality of your thoughts?

“ANXIOUS ABOUT COVID? ABOUT THE VACCINE? ABOUT YOUR JOB, YOUR FINANCES, YOUR FUTURE? TRY OUR GRAPHENE MASK. IT’LL SOOTHE YOU AND HELP YOU SURENDER TO REALITY AS IT IS, NO MATTER HOW BAD IT GETS, WITHOUT FEAR.”

In keeping with local laws, I’ve applied for a license to own a mask as a weapon. If I gain approval, I plan to seal it in a glass box and mount it on the wall next to my grenade launcher and Civil War cannonball."

I'm into tennis big-time, both as a fan and as a player.
Naturally I am following the U.S. Open that's currently underway.

What transpired there just a few days before it started is quite remarkable.
With most of the tickets sold, fans were notified last-minute that they wouldn't be allowed to attend unless they were vaccinated! The biggest tennis venue in the world.
This was the result of Mayor de Blasio going bonkers when he found out there were going to be no Covid restrictions whatsoever.

Holy crap!
To be 'kind', organizers would refund tickets for those who weren't vaccinated or couldn't get vaccinated in time.

Of course this was reprehensible, but it opened up a fascinating test case. Why?
Because we now know that every single fan in attendance has been vaxxed.
Now the whole idea for only letting in the vaxxed is to theoretically have a politically correct, Blasio-approved 'safe environment'.

OK fair enough. So what's the test?
Well everyone and their second cousin knows that the clot shot does not actually stop infection nor transmission of the virus.

And so it's very interesting to observe the number of people in the stands, outside, who are wearing face masks.
The masks are not mandatory.

I have been taking screen shots during matches and we can see that approximately 10-20% of the fans are wearing masks for any given match.

What does that tell you about the psychology of vaxxed New Yorkers today?

Fascinating stuff.

Well, Delight (what a sweet pseudonym you wear!), why do you deem it necessary to make your point using the disgustingly slanderous presentations authored by "the apostate prophet"?

This is not the place for me to start a defense of Islam, although I am ready to do so any time in the presence of Christian bigots as I have always defended Christianity in the presence of Muslim bigots – but don’t you think that people who by their very religion are inspired to defend their and each other’s families against culturicidal and genocidal attempts may be highly valuable allies of Christians who do so for the same reason? And if you are against religion or even atheistically inclined – which I understand and respect – would it not be smart that we show ourselves worthy the support of everyone who believes in humanity’s dignity? And please, let us agree not to use references to crimes people have committed in the name of religion to condemn anybody who is religiously inclined.

Let us not mix up thinks. A mask may be thought of as a symbol for a muzzle, but it is not a muzzle itself. Masks do not muzzle, and muzzles do not mask.

To further stress the point that these face-coverings (or masks) are ostensibly compliance devices, nothing more, this article written by Dr Gary Sidley and Dr Alan Mordue again rams home the point. They serve as an intermediary in viral, bacterial, and mucosal transmission, amongst others.

Here's an example of why it's a bad idea wearing these, and especially outside: When you exhale droplets (measured at around 5 microns) and aerosols (measured at around 1 micron) provide the means for enhancing their transmission. In effect they gain greater stability. The aim in reducing their stability is to ensure the environment allows for speedy evaporation of the moisture, and coverings hinder this - when you exhale, sneeze, talk, cough, you are expelling moisture, which is the last thing one wants to do if you want to encourage less transmission. The masks/coverings in effect become reservoirs
.

Aside from the appalling environmental problems with these non-biodegradable objects littering the planet we have the further problem of rating. SARS-CoV-2 has been measured to around 30 - 50nm in size. The commercial products and coverings on offer are pored at around 100nm, so, the masks/coverings are operating only as a filter not as a barrier. This means they serve to ingress as well as egress all sorts of viral and other molecular debris in the environment.

Our complex and beautiful immune systems coupled with the natural oils on our skin already serve as a barrier - there is no need for these masks/coverings, at all, outside of a heavily regulated sterile clinical or laboratory environment where something like an FFP3 mask will be most effective along with say a KN95/N95, in those settings.

Anyone who advocates the use of masks and face coverings during any daily routine, and even outside ( :facepalm: ) actually doesn't know what they are talking about.

Avoid wearing them wherever possible in your day-to-day lives, please.

Here's the article: https://www.hartgroup.org/masks/

Masks – do benefits outweigh the harms?



[Extracted]: Masks don’t reduce community transmission
Contrary to the Government message that it ‘follows the science’, the sudden change in advice by the WHO was not based on any new, high-quality scientific studies. By summer 2020, there was substantial evidence that non-medical masks for the general public did not reduce the transmission of respiratory viruses. A review of 14 controlled studies had concluded that masks did not significantly lessen the spread of seasonal ‘flu in the community.

A Norwegian Institute for Public Health review found that non-medical masks
achieve no benefit for healthy individuals, particularly when viral prevalence is low.
From a common sense angle, scientists had argued that cloth masks contain perforations that are far too big to act as a viral barrier and therefore ‘offer zero protection against COVID-19’.

A personal experience :)

I am amazed that how "slow" many people are. Still wearing their masks like good little sheep. (Yet, I actually had some sheep once that seemed more informed than most of these people.)

Back to the story - I am standing in line at the local post office and there was a 30'ish looking guy standing there with me. He was standing right beside the sign on the wall that said "Please wear your mask. Thank you for your cooperation."

I laughed and pointed at the sign and I said, "Thank you for your stupidity!" and I laughed.

Well, the guy just looked at me kinda weird so I knew he didn't get it. So I just had to explain things to him....

The timing was good as an ambulance just went by with the siren on and I said, "All this time through the 'pandemic' I have hardly seen any ambulances - you would think that during a pandemic that the ambulance services would be overwhelmed." He was interested, so I continued...

"Now today and this week I am hearing them often. What has changed? The vaccine and boosters."

I continued, "I follow world soccer/football. There are players collapsing on the field from heart attacks - now when a healthy 22 year old is having a heart attack when he can run 12-14km in a game, you know something is wrong."

This guy then said, "Is it from covid?"

Well, at least he listened a bit to what I had to say. Geez.

Most of the first paragraph and all of the second:


It’s true, there is a law in New York State that bans the wearing of masks in public, one of the many strange, outdated laws that remain on the books. N.Y. Penal Law 240.35(4) prohibits two or more people wearing masks or any face covering from congregating in a public place. This law, which has been in place since 1845, would lead to a criminal violation and up to fifteen days in prison.[...]

N.Y. Penal Law 240.35(4) was passed in response to the lowering of wheat prices. At the time, tenant farmers would cover their faces with masks and dress up as “Indians” to attack the police. The exceptions to the rule included masquerades and Halloween. The law was also used in a case against the KKK, with a revised version of the law passed in 1965. But on May 27th [2020], the bill S8415 (https://www.nysenate.gov/legislation/bills/2019/s8415)/A10446-A (https://www.nysenate.gov/legislation/bills/2019/a10446/amendment/a) to repeal the law passed the New York Senate (and has also passed the Assembly) and awaits Cuomo’s signature to make it law.

Cop Interrupts Catholic Mass to Enforce Face Mask Order:

Police in Perth, Australia, stunned parishioners at a Catholic mass Thursday when they entered church to make sure people were wearing face masks.

The officers interrupted a priest’s service midway through to inspect members of the congregation at St. Bernadette’s Glendalough church after receiving a tip that several churchgoers weren’t complying with mask orders.

“Five people were found to not be wearing masks, one of which had an exemption while the four others were made to put them on,” reports (https://7news.com.au/news/wa/community-furore-after-police-stop-st-bernadettes-glendalough-church-service-to-check-masks-c-5567846) 7News.com.au.

The Australian media outlet reports: “Masks are currently required to be worn at all public indoor setting across Perth and the Peel, South West, Wheatbelt and Great Southern regions.”

A photo shared on Facebook by a parishioner shows a uniformed officer wearing a mask going aisle by aisle to inspect masks and exemptions.

“A policeman allowed himself in, strutting up the aisle demanding correct mask behaviour and checking exemptions,” wrote the man that posted the photo.
“Where have we seen this behaviour before in history?”

Another parishioner told 6PR Radio, “Everyone was pretty stunned, it was confronting,” adding, “It’s troubling to see the liturgy you love stopped by police.”

Afterwards, police reported they acted on a tip from a member of the public and that they managed to force compliance within the congregation.


“Upon attendance, 5 people were spoken to by police and complied in wearing a mask,” police stated.

“One person provided proof of an exemption.”

The Catholic Archdiocese of Perth, archbishop Tim Costelloe, characterized the officers’ actions as “highly regrettable” and chastised churchgoers that didn’t wear masks.

“It is my hope that other ways can be found to deal with this delicate issue in future and my office stands ready to cooperate with the police in this matter,” Costelloe said.

“It is the formal and very public policy of the Archdiocese of Perth to do everything it can to facilitate compliance with all the government’s requirements in relation to the COVID-19 pandemic.”

“It is a matter of regret to me that the police were placed in a position which led them to take the action they did.”

Costelloe added that congregants were “left a bit shaken” by the interruption.

You can count the number of people I've seen without a facemask inside stores where I live, on two of my hands over the past two years.

As you know I have never worn one all this time.

Today as I entered an office supplies store a cashier duly asked me where my face mask was. As I was telling her I can't wear one a customer leaving the store walked by me and said "Good for you!".

The fellow was wearing his, but at least he had the courage to speak out
and let me know how he felt. Maybe it's the "trucker convoy effect"? :)

I must say I am greatly disappointed at how compliant Canadians have been all this time with the mandates. I am certain that if they were polled and asked if they would continue
obeying the mandates for another two years if required, they would do so.

In this study, the carbon dioxide concentration in the breathing zone was measured while wearing a surgical mask, a KN95 and a cloth mask.

Detected carbon dioxide concentrations ranged from 2150 to 2875.
The concentrations of carbon dioxide while not wearing a face mask varied from 500–900 ppm.

Concentrations in the detected range can cause undesirable symptoms, such as fatigue, headache, and loss of concentration.

Proof that Masks Do More Harm than Good

(Truths about Masks that Politicians and the BBC Probably Forgot to Mention)


Face masks have been proven to do harm but not proven to do good. Forcing citizens to wear them is a form of oppression. Support for mask wearing comes from individuals promoting face masks for political rather than health reasons. There is now considerable support for masks to be worn out of doors and even in the home. There is absolutely no scientific reason for this.
Over a dozen scientific papers show clearly that masks are ineffective in preventing the movement of infective organisms. They also reduce oxygen levels and expose wearers to increased levels of carbon dioxide.
Nine medical authors from Australia and Vietnam studied cloth face masks and concluded that cloth masks should not be recommended for health care workers.
Wearing a mask for long periods could cause pulmonary fibrosis. Loose fibres are seen on all types of masks and may be inhaled causing serious lung damage.
Researchers in France proved that wearing a surgical mask causes breathlessness.
Masks should be changed every couple of hours and old masks should be disposed of safely. If cloth masks are worn, they should be washed at high temperatures twice a day. Disposable masks should be discarded after one use. (Masks thrown down in the street are a serious health hazard.)
Evidence proving the danger and ineffectiveness of masks has been banned, blocked or deleted. Discussion and debate about the value of face masks is suppressed.
In September 2020, 70 Belgian doctors claimed that mandatory face masks in schools are a major threat to child development.
A leading German virologist claims that face masks are a wonderful breeding ground for bacteria and fungi.
Dentists in New York have reported that mask wearing causes gum disease and dental cavities. The dentists say that face coverings lead to mouth dryness and an increase in the build-up of bacteria.
Exemption certificates/cards can be obtained online for those who are unable to wear a mask.
Some face masks may have pores five thousand times larger than virus particles.
Masks should never be touched once in place. If a mask is touched it must be replaced immediately.
No one should wear a mask while exercising. There have been several reports of masked children dying while exercising. There is evidence showing that mask wearing reduces blood oxygen levels even when the wearer is standing still. Individuals who exercise are likely to sweat. Masks then become damp more quickly and the damp promotes the growth of microorganisms.
There is a risk that viruses may accumulate in the fabric of a mask – thereby increasing the amount of the virus being inhaled.
Putting a mask on a baby or unconscious patient is dangerous. The mask may result in the wearer choking on vomit.
Some of the carbon dioxide exhaled with each breath is trapped behind the mask.
One study of health workers wearing masks showed that a third developed headaches requiring painkillers. Another study showed that 81% developed headaches – and their work was affected.
A mask can reduce blood oxygenation by up to 20% – leading to a possible loss of consciousness. At least one road crash has been blamed on a driver wearing a mask. Police reported that the driver of a single car crash in New Jersey is believed to have passed out behind the wheel after wearing a mask for too long.
Over a dozen studies failed to show that wearing a mask provides protection against infection.
Masks are being used as a conditioning tool to make us more compliant.
A study of 53 surgeons showed that there were statistically significant falls in blood oxygen levels after masks had been worn for a few hours. It is important to remember that surgeons who wear masks (and not all do) work while standing, rather than walking, and they work in a controlled, air conditioned environment. They do not touch their masks and they change them regularly.
The fact that the rules about mask wearing vary from place to place proves that there is no `science’ behind the advice to wear masks. So, for example, why should the coronavirus spread from person to person in a shop but not in an office?
There were no mask requirements in Sweden, and the mortality rate there remained below a bad flu season. The average age of Swedish citizens who died of covid-19 was well over 80 years.
A meta-analysis of controlled trials of face masks published in May 2020 by the Centers for Disease Control in the US, concluded that masks `did not support a substantial effect on transmission of laboratory confirmed influenza, either when worn by infected persons or by persons in the general community to reduce their susceptibility’.
A meta- analysis published in May 2016 concluded that masks did not have any useful effect but that reuse of contaminated masks did transmit infection.
In 2019, a paper involving 2,862 volunteers and published in the Journal of the American Medical Association showed that both surgical masks and N95 respirators `resulted in no significant difference in the incidence of laboratory confirmed influenza’.
In 2011, a meta-analysis of 17 separate studies showed that none of the research showed masks to be useful in preventing influenza infection.
In 2009, a paper published in the Journal of Occupational Environmental Hygiene concluded that particles passed through masks and that expelled particles were deflected around the edges of masks.
Research published in 2005 concluded that there was more transmission of virus laden particles from masked individuals than from unmasked individuals because of `leakage’ jets of air. Backward unfiltered air flow was found to be stronger with mask wearers (suggesting that standing behind someone wearing a mask could be dangerous).
A study published in the BMJ in 2015 found that the penetration of cloth masks was almost 97%.
N95 masks are made with a 0.3 micron filter. The name comes from the fact that 95% of particles having a diameter of 0.3 microns are filtered by the mask. Unfortunately, coronaviruses are approximately 0.125 microns in diameter.
An article entitled `Is a mask necessary in the operating theatre?’, published in the Annals of the Royal College of Surgeons in 1981 found no difference in wound infection rates with or without surgical masks. A paper published in 1991 showed that the use of masks slightly increased the incidence of infection.
It was proved in 1920 that cloth masks do not stop flu transmission. It was concluded then that the number of layers of fabric required to prevent pathogen spread would be suffocating. It was also recognised that there was a problem with leakage around the edges of masks.
Mask wearers are encouraged to demonise non-mask wearers (even if they are disabled in some way). This is part of the psychological warfare battle being fought.
There have been suggestions from various authorities that mask wearing and social distancing will need to be permanent. It has also been suggested that masks should be worn in the home.
Masks collect fungi, bacteria and viruses and because of the moist air exhaled they are an excellent breeding ground.
`We know that wearing a mask outside health care facilities offer little, if any, protection from infection…In many cases the desire for widespread masking is a reflexive reaction to anxiety over the pandemic.’ – New England Journal of Medicine, 2020
Research published in June 2020 suggested that the reduction in blood oxygen and the increase in carbon dioxide, resulting from mask wearing, might cause a strain on the heart and kidneys.
Mask wearers are more likely to develop infection than non-mask wearers. This may be due to the fact that masks reduce blood oxygen levels and adversely affect natural immunity. It is likely that anyone who wears a face mask for long periods will have a damaged immune system – and be more susceptible to infection. Studies have shown that hypoxia can inhibit immune cells used to fight viral infections. Wearing a mask may make the wearer more likely to develop an infection – and if an infection develops it is likely to be worse.
Masks can cause hypercapnia (increased carbon dioxide). Symptoms of hypercapnia include drowsiness, dizziness and fatigue.
A mask worn by a child in school was examined in a laboratory. Tests showed 82 bacterial colonies and 4 mould colonies growing on the mask.
In May 2020, Dr Fauci, the American covid-19 expert, concluded that masks are little more than symbolic – virtue signalling.
Although they have not been tested extensively, visors are probably just as useless as masks but they may be less dangerous to wearers.

Conclusion:

Having studied the evidence I believe that mask wearing is likely to do no good but a great deal of harm. The available evidence shows clearly that masks do not work but do have the potential to cause a variety of health problems. Any individual or organisation dismissing the information above as `fake news’ is requested to give their name and address. They will then receive a writ for libel. Please note that I am already in the process of planning two libel actions.

Upon investigating into lung issues, doctors have found particles from the standard blue masks littering people's lungs.

It is probably safe to assume that wearing them on occasion for standard hospital work and similar situations prior to the pandemic, this was not seen/noticed.

Now that people have been forced to wear them 40 hours a week for their job for the past 2 years, they are a factor in the declining health of some people.

I do not have a medical report to support this, but apparently this is a topic being discussed among some medical professionals behind closed doors.

NHS sends urgent message to anybody who has ever smoked
The NHS has issued an urgent message to anybody who smokes, or ever has smoked in the UK. The NHS says it's vital that people listen to its message, because it could save lives.

Mobile trucks are being sent out to perform potentially life-saving lung checks. Hundreds of people have already been diagnosed with lung cancer thanks to the trucks.

The NHS said teams have diagnosed 600 people with the disease in travelling trucks, which visit convenient community sites across the UK like supermarkets and sports centres, aiming to make it easier for people to access check-ups. It comes as new figures show only just over a third (35%) of patients go to their lung health check when invited by the NHS.

Round here the number of mask wearers is decreasing day by day, only a small minority wear them now.


Just received some info from a friend who works in a hospital...

Upon investigating into lung issues, doctors have found particles from the standard blue masks littering people's lungs.

It is probably safe to assume that wearing them on occasion for standard hospital work and similar situations prior to the pandemic, this was not seen/noticed.

Now that people have been forced to wear them 40 hours a week for their job for the past 2 years, they are a factor in the declining health of some people.

I do not have a medical report to support this, but apparently this is a topic being discussed among some medical professionals behind closed doors.

Now this is interesting - I wonder if this article (https://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/news/health/nhs-sends-urgent-message-anybody-23719536)about lung cancer screening in England has anything to do with it:


NHS sends urgent message to anybody who has ever smoked
The NHS has issued an urgent message to anybody who smokes, or ever has smoked in the UK. The NHS says it's vital that people listen to its message, because it could save lives.

Mobile trucks are being sent out to perform potentially life-saving lung checks. Hundreds of people have already been diagnosed with lung cancer thanks to the trucks.

The NHS said teams have diagnosed 600 people with the disease in travelling trucks, which visit convenient community sites across the UK like supermarkets and sports centres, aiming to make it easier for people to access check-ups. It comes as new figures show only just over a third (35%) of patients go to their lung health check when invited by the NHS.

It could be a way for them to collect more data on the effects/results of mask wearing and the vaccine. I have read something about nicotine in the body somehow acting defensively against the effects of the jab.

With so much info floating around it makes it difficult to see the true objectives of the organizations, governments and media.

Mask mandate anywhere outside you home has been on for more than two years now in Hong Kong. Compliance is total. Almost the only person who breath in fresh air from the nose that I see in the streets is me. I wear it dropping down to the the mouth just to look better and to avoid too many unpleasant encounters. A month ago the government is saying the mandate will last at least to September. This is absolutely crazy given that estimated more than two millions people have had the Omicron expreience and know that it is just a flu and there is no reason to predetermine a half year duration. However, people still think the government is justified and all because it is concerned about their health. The deception is just too great for ordinary folks around the world.

In China mask mandate is for public vehicles and shopping centres, but not on the streets and in the schools. In large cities most people wear it in the streets for fear of blame.

So why the double standard between China and Hong Kong (masks in the street)?
I thought Hong Kong was now part of China?

The face mask mandates have clearly been identified as psychological warfare against the people.
It is not with great pleasure that I bring this audio tape of Jeff Rense to your attention. He points out some disturbing facts that speak in favor of wearing a mask against the shedding of the vaccinated in closed spaces. A mask may reduce the risk of infection by 30 % because the small particles clump together and can be stopped by a mask.

I took some quick notes:
33:50 shedding is a gas
> a dual cartridge half mask or P100 respirator ( 2 valves) is advised
> and to end a gloomy conclusion : there is no back to normal :(

To give a more positive perspective and in view of my own and elsewhere reported perceptions of the shedding by vaccinated I add that the shedding does not seem to be a during process. Let's hope the gloomy outlook by Jeff Rense is not accurate.

Masking: More Harms Than Good? Face masks make the disease worse, and have no impact on ocular infection risk
By Dr. Robert Malone
June 02, 2022

The Foegen effect - A mechanism by which facemasks contribute to the COVID-19 case fatality rate
Abstract: Extensive evidence in the literature supports the mandatory use of facemasks to reduce the infection rate of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2, which causes the coronavirus disease (COVID-19). However, the effect of mask use on the disease course remains controversial. This study aimed to determine whether mandatory mask use influenced the case fatality rate in Kansas, USA between August 1st and October 15th 2020.

This study applied secondary data on case updates, mask mandates, and demographic status related to Kansas State, USA. A parallelization analysis based on county-level data was conducted on these data. Results were controlled by performing multiple sensitivity analyses and a negative control.

A parallelization analysis based on county-level data showed that in Kansas, counties with mask mandate had significantly higher case fatality rates than counties without mask mandate, with a risk ratio of 1.85 (95% confidence interval [95% CI]: 1.51–2.10) for COVID-19-related deaths. Even after adjusting for the number of “protected persons,” that is, the number of persons who were not infected in the mask-mandated group compared to the no-mask group, the risk ratio remained significantly high at 1.52 (95% CI: 1.24–1.72). By analyzing the excess mortality in Kansas, this study determines that over 95% of this effect can solely be attributed to COVID-19.

These findings suggest that mask use might pose a yet unknown threat to the user instead of protecting them, making mask mandates a debatable epidemiologic intervention.

The cause of this trend is explained herein using the “Foegen effect” theory; that is, deep re-inhalation of hypercondensed droplets or pure virions caught in facemasks as droplets can worsen prognosis and might be linked to long-term effects of COVID-19 infection. While the “Foegen effect” is proven in vivo in an animal model, further research is needed to fully understand it.

Masks are no longer compulsory here in Ireland, except for public transport and probably healthcare.

When I get to town, I see about 33% of people are still wearing masks.

There has been little contact regarding covid in the local media. [7April2o22]

+++++

Now it is June and I've been seeing Zero masks in town and covid being mentioned on the national media is still very little contact. It seems a little back to normal except for economic conditions.

Still at around 50% where I live.

Here's the thing.

The C.D.C., Fauci, the W.H.O. were all consistent from the get go, wrt face masks.
They said face masks are used to protect others from your spit/particles etc.
They emphasized time and time again they are not used to protect the wearer from
becoming infected.

But the masses never got that memo.

I guarantee you if you polled all the face mask wearers today and asked
them why they are wearing their face mask almost every single one of them
will say they are wearing them to protect themselves!

How Masks Make You Sick Instead of Protecting You
by Dr. Joseph Mercola

https://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2022/07/12/do-masks-make-you-sick.aspx?ui=8d3c7e22a03f5300d2e3338a0f080d2da3add85bca35e09236649153e4675f72&sd=20110604&cid_source=dnl&cid_medium=email&cid_content=art1ReadMore&cid=20220712_HL2&mid=DM1211488&rid=1546123961

"STORY AT-A-GLANCE

Using CDC data, no significant differences were found in COVID-19 case growth between states with or without mask mandates, during periods of low or high transmission

The widespread use of masks did not reduce COVID-19 transmission in Europe, and a moderate positive correlation was found between mask usage and deaths in Western Europe

An update to a CDC study on school mask mandates, using nearly six times more data, found no significant relationship between mask mandates in U.S. schools and COVID-19 case rates

In Kansas, counties with a mask mandate had significantly higher COVID-19 case fatality rates than counties without a mask mandate

One way masks cause harm may be the “Foegen effect” — the idea that deep re-inhalation of droplets and virions caught on facemasks might make COVID-19 infection more likely or more severe


During the COVID-19 pandemic, 80% of U.S. states mandated masks to slow the spread of SARS-CoV-2, but accumulating research shows mask mandates and use do not lower the spread of the virus.1 While rules requiring masks did increase compliance, they didn't translate to lower transmission growth rates, whether community spread of SARS-CoV-2 was low or high.

Even before COVID-19 was declared a pandemic, mask mandates were put in place without ever properly evaluating efficacy, but that didn't stop them from dividing communities and being used as a form of virtue signaling and a visible reminder of compliance with the "new normal."

Now, with research showing not only that masks don't protect you but may actually make you sick, the rationale behind their widespread mandated usage must be questioned.

Mask Mandates Didn't Lower COVID-19 Cases
Using CDC data, researchers with the University of Louisville calculated total COVID-19 case growth and mask use for the U.S. No significant differences were found in case growth between mandate and non-mandate states during periods of low or high transmission.

"Surges were equivocal," they noted, concluding, "Mask mandates and use are not associated with slower state-level COVID-19 spread during COVID-19 growth surges."2 While stating that their findings "do not support the hypothesis that SARS-CoV-2 transmission rates decrease with greater public mask use," they did note that "masks may promote social cohesion as rallying symbols during a pandemic."3

Similarly dismal results from mask mandates were demonstrated in Europe. A study published in Cureus analyzed data from 35 European countries, including morbidity, mortality and mask usage, over a six-month period. The researchers noted:4

"Mask mandates were implemented in almost all world countries and in most places where masks were not obligatory, their use in public spaces was recommended … These mandates and recommendations took place despite the fact that most randomized controlled trials carried out before and during the COVID-19 pandemic concluded that the role of masks in preventing respiratory viral transmission was small, null, or inconclusive."

When the data were analyzed, the study also revealed that the widespread use of masks did not reduce COVID-19 transmission. Worse, a moderate positive correlation was found between mask usage and deaths in Western Europe, which "suggests that the universal use of masks may have had harmful unintended consequences."5

Mask Mandates in Schools Didn't Reduce COVID-19 Cases
As part of the government sponsored propaganda campaign, a widely cited CDC study, published in October 2021, reported that counties without school mask mandates had larger increases in COVID-19 case rates in children after the start of school compared with counties that had school mask mandates.6

The study was used to support school mask mandates, but a team of researchers revisited the research, incorporating a larger sample size and longer study period. The updated study,7 published in May 2022, used nearly six times more data compared to the original study and found no significant relationship between mask mandates in U.S. schools and COVID-19 case rates. According to the researchers:8

"We failed to establish a relationship between school masking and pediatric cases using the same methods but a larger, more nationally diverse population over a longer interval. Our study demonstrates that observational studies of interventions with small to moderate effect sizes are prone to bias caused by selection and omitted variables. Randomized studies can more reliably inform public health policy."

On Twitter, surgeon and public policy researcher Dr. Marty Makary pointed out that the CDC's original study appeared to include cherry-picked data and the agency refused to publish an update using the more extensive data:9

"This study demonstrates how the CDC was cherry-picking data to support their school mask dogma. The article states that CDC's MMWR journal rejected publishing this re-analysis. Most likely because it exposed the CDCs salami-slicing of data & use of science as political propaganda."

It should be noted that a previous CDC study found mask requirements for students had little effect on COVID-19 incidence in Georgia schools, while improved ventilation, such as opening a window, reduced cases more than mask mandates for staff and teachers.10

The Foegen Effect: Mask Mandates Increased COVID-19 Deaths
A profoundly important study was conducted by German physician Dr. Zacharias Fögen to find out whether mandatory mask use influenced the COVID-19 case fatality rate in Kansas from August 1, 2020, to October 15, 2020.11 He chose the state of Kansas because, while it issued a mask mandate, counties were allowed to either opt in or out of it.

His analysis revealed that counties with a mask mandate had significantly higher case fatality rates than counties without a mask mandate. "These findings suggest that mask use might pose a yet unknown threat to the user instead of protecting them, making mask mandates a debatable epidemiologic intervention," he concluded.

That threat, he explained, may be something called the "Foegen effect" — the idea that deep re-inhalation of droplets and virions caught on facemasks might make COVID-19 infection more likely or more severe.

“The fundamentals of this effect are easily demonstrated when wearing a facemask and glasses at the same time by pulling the upper edge of the mask over the lower edge of the glasses. Droplets appear on the mask when breathing out and disappear when breathing in.”

"In the "Foegen effect," the virions spread (because of their smaller size) deeper into the respiratory tract. They bypass the bronchi and are inhaled deep into the alveoli, where they can cause pneumonia instead of bronchitis, which would be typical of a virus infection.

Furthermore, these virions bypass the multilayer squamous epithelial wall that they cannot pass into in vitro and most likely cannot pass into in vivo. Therefore, the only probable way for the virions to enter the blood vessels is through the alveoli."12

Wearing Masks Could Be Related to Long COVID
Fögen explained that wearing masks could end up increasing your overall viral load because, instead of exhaling virions from your respiratory tract and ridding your body of them, those virions are caught in the mask and returned. This might also have the effect of increasing the number of virions that pass through the mask, such that it becomes more than the number that would have been shed without a mask.

The fact that "hypercondensed droplets and pure virions in the mask might be blown outwards during expiration, resulting in aerosol transmission instead of droplet transmission" is another issue that could make transmission worse instead of better, and the use of "more protective" masks could also backfire, making COVID-19's long-term effects worse. Fögen explained:13

"The use of "better" masks (e.g., FFP2, FFP3) with a higher droplet-filtering capacity probably should cause an even stronger "Foegen effect" because the number of virions that are potentially re-inhaled increases in the same way that outward shedding is reduced.

Another salient point is that COVID-19-related long-term effects and multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children may all be a direct cause of the "Foegen effect." Virus entry into the alveoli and blood without being restricted to the upper respiratory tract and bronchi and can cause damage by initiating an (auto) immune reaction in most organs."

Clear Risks of Prolonged Mask Use
Two expert reports spoke out against the use of masks for children in 2021. The first, a psychology report,14 stated that masks are likely to be causing psychological harm to children and interfering with development.15 "The extent of psychological harm to young people is unknown," the report stated, "due to the unique nature of the 'social experiment' currently underway in schools, and in wider society."16

The second report focused on health, safety and well-being,17 noting potential permanent physical damage to the lungs caused by fibrosis from inhalation of fibrous nanoparticles.

"There are real and significant dangers of respiratory infection, oral health deterioration and of lung injury, such as pneumothorax, owing to moisture buildup and also exposure to potentially harmful levels of an asphyxiant gas (carbon dioxide [CO2]) which can cause serious injury to health," the authors explained.18

Normally, the CO2 then dissipates into the air around you before you take another breath. In the open air, carbon dioxide typically exists at about 400 parts per million (ppm), or 0.04% by volume.

The German Federal Environmental Office set a limit of CO2 for closed rooms of 2,000 ppm, or 0.2% by volume. If you're wearing a facemask, the CO2 cannot escape as it usually does and instead becomes trapped in the mask. In a study published in JAMA Pediatrics, researchers analyzed the CO2 content of inhaled air among children wearing two types of masks, as well as wearing no mask.19

While no significant difference in CO2 was found between the two types of masks, there was a significant elevation when wearing masks compared to not wearing them. CO2 in inhaled air under surgical and filtering facepiece masks came in between 13,120 ppm and 13,910 ppm, "which is higher than what is already deemed unacceptable by the German Federal Environmental Office by a factor of 6," the researchers noted.20

Also important, this level was reached after only three minutes, while children wear masks at school for a mean of 270 minutes at a time. Even the child who had the lowest measured CO2 level had a measurement three-fold greater than the closed room CO2 limit of 0.2%. However, younger children appeared to have the highest CO2 values; a level of 25,000 ppm was measured from a 7-year-old wearing a facemask.21

Bacterial Infection Risk, Problems With Social Learning
The full consequences of prolonged mask use are only beginning to be understood. The University of Louisville researchers noted, however, that using a mask for more than four hours per day "promotes facial alkalinization and inadvertently encourages dehydration, which in turn can enhance barrier breakdown and bacterial infection risk."22 Other reported adverse effects include:23

Increase in headaches and sweating

Decreased cognitive precision

Association with medical errors

Interference with social learning in children

Obscured nonverbal communication

Distorted verbal speech

Removal of visual cues, which is detrimental to people with hearing loss

After a lawsuit was brought by Leslie Manookian's Health Freedom Defense Fund (HFDF), U.S. District Judge Kathryn Kimball Mizelle finally voided the CDC's U.S. mask mandate on airplanes and public transit in April 2022.24 The U.S. Department of Justice (DoJ) has appealed the court order,25 however, making it clear that they don't intend to give up on mask mandates without a fight. In response, HFDF issued the following statement:26

"DoJ's statement [that it would appeal] is perplexing to say the least and sounds like it comes from health policy advocates not government lawyers. The ruling by the US District Court ruling is a matter of law, not CDC preference or an assessment of 'current health conditions.'

If there is in fact a public health emergency with clear and irrefutable science supporting CDC's mask mandate, does it not warrant urgent action? Why would DoJ and CDC not immediately appeal?

HFDF is left with no option but to conclude that the Mask Mandate is really a political matter and not at all about urgent public health issues or the demands of sound science. While DoJ and CDC play politics with Americans' health and freedoms, HFDF trusts individual Americans to make their own health decisions.

HFDF is confident that Americans possess ample common sense and education to understand that there are real questions about mask efficacy and risk and that CDC's policy reflects neither."

Giant New Study Reveals Masks DON’T STOP Covid! Krystal Ball Tells Left To “Grow Up!” W/ Nick Cruse:

mBFCopXrZfQ
In what can only be described as a “mask off moment,” a new study has come out conclusively demonstrating that masks – whether the surgical or N95 “respirator” variety – are ineffective at preventing COVID infection. Not only that, but it’s now clear that authorities in the public health sector like Anthony Fauci knew this all along and yet still imposed mask mandates and encouraged the kind of mask shaming that emerged at the outset of the pandemic. Jimmy and Revolutionary Black Network’s Nick Cruse discuss the changing narrative on masks and why government authorities continued to push mandates that contradicted science.

AnOAtIKYZUw
Stephen Colbert was once a scathing critic of establishment thinking and posturing, and yet today he has become a shell of his former self, an eager purveyor of whatever dominant narrative the establishment is peddling.

Jimmy and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger discuss the fall of Colbert and why his show has become virtually unwatchable.
