In our idiotic state of Washington, kids had to wear masks to play soccer. Outside. Often in the rain.

Government-mandated waterboarding!

Thank you for this article. It is an unnatural abomination to wear masks. Period. And on children it is literal child abuse. Masks are for particulate debris such as drywall sanding dust or saw dust or working with insulation.

Those damn masks are going to be incident to loads of harms in the future from mask particle ingestion. Not to mention the billions that will be swirling in the oceanic garbage patches.

Medical offices, clinics, facilities, hospitals - all of which KNOW better - being Enemy Numero Uno. Even in my deep blue state, those are the only entities still mandating mask 💩

Low intelligence people wearing an N95 mask ... what could go wrong.

Anecdotally ... I am seeing a lot more stupidity these days.

Here's a follow up article for you:

I read a Yale study over a year ago that indicated cognitive abilities in infants had fallen off a cliff since Covid arrived.

I was wondering what might have caused this and suspected it might be the fact that pregnant women were wearing masks -- often N95 masks --- for many hours per day.

I tried to find studies on the effect of wearing such masks for extended periods when pregnant.

There were no recent studies related to wearing a mask for Covid ... but what I did find was a few studies related to women who wear masks in the work place --- e.g. in auto paint shops...

Ethically they could not ask the subjects of the study - pregnant women -- to wear N95 masks for extended periods --- so they only looked at very short term results ...

And what they found was oxygen depravation to the fetus.

The recommendation was that if you work in a setting that requires mask protection that you not do so for extended periods -- and that you take frequent breaks without the mask to ensure adequate oxygen supply to your unborn child.

Unfortunately I did not save the studies but I am sure they can be easily found with a search. You might use the custom search by dates option and look for results pre 2020 as the current results will no doubt be filled with 'masks are safe' BS.

And BTW - I suggested Steve Kirsch offer Dover 1M for an interview ... seeing as this indicates they have replaced her ... he 'banned me for 100 years'

Perhaps not coincidentally, there is an increase in fungal infections that are lethal primarily to the same *high risk* populations that are still wearing masks.

We know about so much of the pollution in the air, ozone, PM2, etc. but since reading about the air microbiome, I wonder what we were not breathing in, which we are adapted to breathe in, while wearing masks. Particularly kids whose immune systems are developing (hopefully) Every single intervention has been at absolute best, utterly stupid and worst, purposefully damaging. Every.Single. One.

I am jumping up and down and clapping my hands. Oh I hope so. I hope everyone enforcing mask mandates gets SUED. Starting with our own governer and State Dept of Health...and my local School System!!!! Class Action, anyone? God I would LOVE TO SEE THIS.

on the other hand, I have a two colleagues that constantly wear masks...one because she gets RSV (no comment) and the other one because she had a condition thirty years ago...but doesn't want it to come back.

Lord, give me strength.

Long vax too.

And long nocebo effect, as some hypochondriacs went full in on the story.

Low-grade hypoxia from masks can be assessed via altitude studies, which presumably will yield similar results in terms of adverse events, as well as long-term adaptation. Hypercarbia is trickier - perhaps looking at long-term smokers, individuals with significant COPD, or breath-hold divers one might get some insights into adverse events and long-term adaptation.

Of interest is also the altered gas exchange in people with panic disorder, and whether mask use may interact with this condition.

Byssinosis.

I have been trying to raise awareness of this one word, one disease for two years. Look it up: also known as brown lung disease (as opposed to the better known black lung disease often afflicting former miners) this is a form of lung cancer which, like asbestosis, takes decades to make itself felt. And like asbestosis is caused by the irritation of tiny fibrous particles invading the lungs. Former workers on the cotton fields were diagnosed with byssinosis in the 1970s, years after they stopped work. Now just think of all those microscopic fibre particles being shed by the N95 and surgical masks that some folk have been wearing for nearly three years and are still inflicting on themselves.

My guesstimate: in around 20 to 30 years we will, unfortunately, witness an epidemic of byssinosis. If I’m still around then you may quote me on this.

Real question, no joke or irony: Ivor, is covid a real disease in your opinion?

Maybe the most sensible approach is to grant these adherents the equivalent cultural recognition of these clothing choices with an appropriate moniker to acknowledge the religiousness of their dedication, perhaps naming it the ‘Maskjab’ as a tribute to the Hijab worn by another devout sect.

Although in retrospect now that might be unfair to that particular formal religion who may have a much greater foundation in real science than the Maskjab wearers.

My parents are in Spain, where masks became the national government's obsession after society reopened in June 2020. The population was, in essence, bribed into accepting a trade-off: no more lockdowns but you must mask indoors and out for however long we say. (Luckily exceptions were made for eating & drinking, so hospitality venues tended not to enforce masks at all -- and this is where Spanish people spend most of their time outside the home.)

Are masks preferable to lockdowns? From summer 2020 to summer 2021, seen from the UK, I definitely thought yes. At least my family in Spain were mixing freely, resuming their leisure activities, enjoying evenings out, etc., plus my cousin's kids were in school and playing sports, etc.

But as time went on and the UK opened up, life in the UK became preferable for one key reason: we didn't have to mask and even when the indoor rule was reintroduced in autumn 2021 it was never enforced -- you could always claim exemption, which was barely allowed in Spain.

In summer 2021, my dad had a fall while walking outside in the heat while wearing a surgical mask. He felt lightheaded and fell forward, and although he reacted in time by putting his arms out, he still smacked his forehead against the pavement, getting cut and bruised.

I have since concluded that masks are no less evil than everything else we've been asked to endure or submit to these past 3 years.

Of all the people enforcing mask wearing now, the main offenders are medical people. This information is falling on deaf ears unfortunately...

I actually laughed out loud! I know it isn't funny, of course. Thank you.
