Where's the paper?

Go find the paper, and do a text search for "mask".

We now know that masks do contribute to disease for the wearer now, but there was no conclusion drawn that I can find where that was the conclusion of the 1917 flu epidemic. It's true that bacterial pneumonia was thought to be the main killer of that pandemic, but there's no published work I can find that associates it with masks.

The "Spanish flu" was thought to have caused serious damage to the bronchial system, and as a result made people much more susceptible to bacterial infection.

Probably masks DID contribute to the deaths, but I can't find a published paper that investigates that.

Don't forget the mask!

These images are from the so-called Spanish Flu days (1918). People then were against compulsion, just as today.

The difference today is that we know the public health officials should know better.

Certainly one of my favorites.

Russian blogger (google-translated):

Rospotrebnadzor recommends returning the mask regime in public places in regions where more than 50 people per 100,000 get sick per week

50 cases per 100 thousand is 0.05 percent. Despite the fact that the epidemic threat occurs when there are 5 percent of the sick of the population. Roskomnadzor does not explain the difference by two orders of magnitude. Such measures are not provided for in any regulatory documents, as they are absolutely absurd.

Video of insufficient air when wearing a mask via OSHA requirements...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hyENddY1NbM&t=2s

PER OSHA: Human beings must breathe oxygen . . . to survive, and begin to suffer adverse health effects when the oxygen level of their breathing air drops below [19.5 percent oxygen]. Below 19.5 percent oxygen . . . , air is considered oxygen-deficient. At concentrations of 16 to 19.5 percent, workers engaged in any form of exertion can rapidly become symptomatic as their tissues fail to obtain the oxygen necessary to function properly (Rom, W., Environmental and Occupational Medicine, 2nd ed.; Little, Brown; Boston, 1992). Increased breathing rates, accelerated heartbeat, and impaired thinking or coordination occur more quickly in an oxygen-deficient environment. Even a momentary loss of coordination may be devastating to a worker if it occurs while the worker is performing a potentially dangerous activity, such as climbing a ladder. Concentrations of 12 to 16 percent oxygen cause tachypnea (increased breathing rates), tachycardia (accelerated heartbeat), and impaired attention, thinking, and coordination (e.g., Ex. 25-4), even in people who are resting.

Covid masks might make men infertile
No good evidence suggests they reduce viral infection rates, but masks shed plastics that reduce sperm count and motility in mice. There’s a good chance it’s happening to humans too.

https://markmcdonaldmd.substack.com/p/mask-wearing-must-be-banned

To many, universal public mask-wearing indoors and out is now seen as a virtue. Our social norms have been redefined by the sick. It’s time for the healthy to reclaim them. It’s time for masks to be banned. I’m not suggesting a legal ban, although that may become necessary if public shaming is not successful. A more effective and proper approach is to shun the mask-wearers—ban them from private businesses (as the unmasked were for nearly two years), disavow them from conversations, and walk away from them when they come toward you. Treat them the way they treated those around them who refused to hide their faces, but without the display of abject hysteria and bursts of physical violence they engaged in. They’ll soon learn their lesson. And they’ll comply. After all, cowardice and compliance are what define them.

It’s time to retake our public spaces. Like clearing a homeless encampment in the local public park, we need to clear the perpetual maskers from our midst, send them scurrying back to the shadows, and not invite them to return until they promise to behave as socially responsible adults. A masked priest is not a leader. A masked citizen is not a member of the local community. Anyone who wishes to be treated with respect must first show respect to those around him. That starts by showing your face.

Of all the many various pandemic abominations – and there is no shortage to choose from – the victimization of children stands above the rest as a uniquely horrific defilement of fundamental human virtue and conscience. It is a particularly heart- wrenching evil that has rather shockingly become endemic in society today.

Somehow, it has become normalized not only to institutionalize grotesque child abuse, but to go so far as to exclusively target children even as the adults were largely set free from the yoke of various oppressive torments inflicted under the aegis of the Orwellian “public health” regime.

Thus the specter of New York City mandating masks exclusively for TODDLERS in preschool even as older children were allowed to go mask- free. It is difficult to conjure up a more gruesome and frightening victimization exclusively of the truly defenseless and vulnerable.

I came across the following video a few days ago, well worth watching in full, that crystallized for me one of the impediments blocking people’s realization of this as bloodcurdling child abuse. ...

A day in the life of a masked child
As the car pulled up to the school entrance, 5-year-old Mason felt the usual really strong sad feeling that he felt every day.

“Mason, put your mask on now,” said his mother.

Once upon a time, Mason used to cry and refuse to put on his mask. It was very uncomfortable for him, it was itchy, it was wet and slimy, and it smelled really bad. And when the mask was over his nose, it made breathing feel strange, and usually Mason would start to feel a little tired or weak after a few minutes because it was hard to breathe through the mask.

That was months ago though. Mason had long since stopped resisting, and now simply did as he was told by his mother, dutifully pulling the mask over his face.

Mason would feel extra sad every day when his Mommy told him to put his mask on before getting out of the car. He didn’t understand why though. Sometimes he thought to himself why Mommy made him do something that made him feel so sad and alone. Mason wanted so badly for his Mommy and Daddy to go back to how Mommy and Daddy used to be.

In fact, when Mason drew masks over a baby cow and flowers in a picture a few days ago and his teacher asked him why the flowers had masks on, Mason replied “Because they’re sad that the baby cow’s Mommy and Daddy don’t love him anymore.”

As Mason pushed open the car door, he thought about when Mommy used to kiss him goodbye with a smile and wave to him every morning as he walked up the steps to school. It made him very very sad to remember that though, because it hurt a lot, and Mason couldn’t understand why Mommy loved him less now than she used to.

Mason walked up the steps clutching his lunchbox, past the mean lady who stood outside watching all the children entering the building every morning. Mason was scared of her. She yelled at him when his mask wasn’t all the way on the top of his nose. She yelled at a lot of the other children too. She would scream at him that he made the school a bad place that would make people get very sick because he was there. She even told him in front of the whole school that he should just stay home, which made Mason want to run away and hide in the trees next to the school because he was so embarrassed.

This was the worst part of walking into school every day for Mason; he felt weak and shaky when he was around her because she made him feel so scared and hurt. ...

Mason got off the bus in front of his house. He walked slowly up the steps to the porch. Mason felt sad and tired. He felt sad every day after school because school was so sad and bad. At least he didn’t have to wear his mask when he got home.

Mason tried to open the front door of his house but it was locked. Mommy was probably talking to the people on the computer from work, and Daddy didn’t come home until later. Mason knocked on the door but nobody answered. Mason felt so alone and confused, and also hungry, so he just sat down on the step in front of the door. Then he started to cry. Mason didn’t know why he was suddenly crying, but he couldn’t stop himself. He just sat there crying. His tears soaked his mask but was too tired to care about pulling it off. He just sat and cried. ...

Imagine this happening every day.

For a week.

A month.

2 months.

3 months.

5 months.

A whole year.

What have we done to our children??? ...

A child needs to experience compassion, mercy, kindness, love and caring in order to relate to himself and to the world as fundamentally good. A child bereft of this grows up experiencing deep emotional trauma and scarring.

Parents passively allowing their children to be tormented by the mask regime (and other isolation measures) create a profound break in their children’s sense of stability generally, and sense of trust and stability in/of their parents’ love and commitment to them. They will not understand ‘Why are Mommy & Daddy letting all this horrible stuff happen to me???’

It's time to tell Los Angeles County Department of Public Health (LACDPH) and mask-loving Barbara Ferrer that enough is enough – no more mask mandates! We do NOT want this mandate spreading across the state.

NEW LA County-only mandate requires that asymptomatic K-12 students mask up for ten days following “close contact” with an individual who tests positive for COVID-19. LACPH Order

This goes against California State Guidelines!

On September 6, 2022, 24 brave superintendents from school districts within LA County, representing over 100,000 impacted students, sent a letter to LACDPH’s Barbara Ferrer asking her to revise her LA County mask mandate which goes against state mandates.

Barbara Ferrer responded by telling these 24 superintendents that they were in the minority. Obviously she doesn't care.

Children's Health Defense California STRONGLY opposes this new LACDPH mandate for the following reasons:

Masks are Disruptive to Learning: Forcing students to “mask up” whenever another individual tests positive for COVID-19 has already and will continue to result in substantial disruption to students’ learning. Students will –and already are – being subjected to back-to-back masking requirements, resulting in all day masking for weeks at a time.

Masks are not harmless. Hundreds of studies and real-world empirical data have now shown significant harms to students’ physical, mental, educational, and social well-being. Focusing on this one “health measure” while ignoring all of the actual, admitted, and recognized harms is negligent and reckless.

Masks are not effective: Numerous studies have shown that there is no difference in covid transmission or infection rates between schools that required masking and schools that did not. In fact, some studies show that the schools without masking did better in every single measurable metric of “health.” Click here to read mask studies.

Masks Violate Students’ Constitutional Rights: Masks cannot become the “norm” for access to in-person learning in Los Angeles County. Public education is a Constitutional Right in California, and Ferrer is depriving LA County students of equal protection under the law.

Masks are Cruel: Forcing unwilling schoolchildren to endure blocking their airways for 6-8 hours a day, five days a week for years on end is cruel and shamefully detached from the professed concern over their health. Other schools across the country, and indeed around the world, have long rejected or abandoned this dubious measure. It appears this never-ending punishment is imposed for some unknown and unarticulated purpose or goal.

Call to Action for all Californians

E-mail LACDPH Barbara Ferrer and voice your position on her Unlawful Mask Mandate. http://www.ph.lacounty.gov/ContactUs.htm

**Call as many of these LA County School Superintendents as you can and ask them to stand up for the Constitutional Rights of Students.

*Ask for the Superintendent or their Assistant.

*Ask if they support continued mask mandates?

*Voice your opinion if you think mask mandates should be continued or ended in Los Angeles County.

*You can ask them to contact Barbara Ferrer’s office to tell them your view.

*Always be positive, polite, professional and express concern for the kids.
