Facemasks in the COVID-19 era: A health hypothesis
Baruch Vainshelboim⁎

Abstract
Many countries across the globe utilized medical and non-medical facemasks as non-pharmaceutical intervention for reducing the transmission and infectivity of coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19). Although, scientific evidence supporting facemasks’ efficacy is lacking, adverse physiological, psychological and health effects are established. Is has been hypothesized that facemasks have compromised safety and efficacy profile and should be avoided from use. The current article comprehensively summarizes scientific evidences with respect to wearing facemasks in the COVID-19 era, providing prosper information for public health and decisions making. ...

Conclusion
The existing scientific evidences challenge the safety and efficacy of wearing facemask as preventive intervention for COVID-19. The data suggest that both medical and non-medical facemasks are ineffective to block human-to-human transmission of viral and infectious disease such SARS-CoV-2 and COVID-19, supporting against the usage of facemasks. Wearing facemasks has been demonstrated to have substantial adverse physiological and psychological effects. These include hypoxia, hypercapnia, shortness of breath, increased acidity and toxicity, activation of fear and stress response, rise in stress hormones, immunosuppression, fatigue, headaches, decline in cognitive performance, predisposition for viral and infectious illnesses, chronic stress, anxiety and depression. Long-term consequences of wearing facemask can cause health deterioration, developing and progression of chronic diseases and premature death. Governments, policy makers and health organizations should utilize prosper and scientific evidence-based approach with respect to wearing facemasks, when the latter is considered as preventive intervention for public health.

Abbott’s order took effect on March 10, after cases in Texas had fallen steadily for more than a month. Public health experts begged him to be patient with restrictions for a few more weeks until more of the state’s population could be vaccinated. Vaccine supply was increasing, after all. Why tempt fate by doing what Chile did, encouraging people to emerge from lockdown before there was enough immunity in the population to hold off a wave?

Abbott didn’t listen, and was attacked by the president for “Neanderthal thinking” by insisting on easing precautions.

Forty days later, there’s no evidence that Texans have paid a price...

Thanks to the trends in Texas and Mississippi, it’s no longer just right-wing commentators who are questioning the indefinite need for mask mandates. Over the weekend a writer at Slate wondered why people should still need to wear masks outdoors. Today at the Atlantic, Derek Thompson asked that same question in the context of mandates.

That would explain the much worse outcomes for states which mandated masks extensively

I wonder if that'll end the mask nazi bs?

I doubt it will end the mask Nazi shit because:

1. Spreading fear through masks is very profitable to tech companies and gives more power to government.
2. Karens quivering in fear are desperate for some sense of control, and the masks give them that sense. Falsely, but they don't want to know the truth.

So big tech will continue to censor science and common sense, and people like Fraudulent Fauci will double-down again, this time demanding FOUR masks!

Never in history have so many people worn masks obstructing their intake of air. A
considerable amount of research has been done into mask wearing. The research shows
clearly that masks are ineffective in preventing the movement of infective organisms but that
they reduce oxygen levels and increase levels of carbon dioxide. Most of those advocating
mask wearing are either ignorant or are deliberately exposing mask wearers to danger. The
side effects of excess carbon dioxide (hypercapnia) are headaches, dizziness, drowsiness,
nausea, vomiting and a tight feeling in the chest. The risks are usually dismissed as irrelevant
or non-existent by government spokesmen and fact checkers (many of whom are sponsored
by industry) but I found it impossible to find reliable scientific evidence supporting this
reassurance. It should be noted that the BBC, which claims to produce fact checking material,
has financial links to the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation (which itself has strong financial
links to the vaccine industry among others) and is in my view entirely untrustworthy. The
question, as always, is a simple one: who will check the ‘fact checkers’?
Government defenders regard the removal of a video from YouTube as a sign that the
advice in the video must have been ‘wrong’. The reality, of course, is the exact opposite since
YouTube takes down material which disagrees with advice from the World Health
Organization which is now heavily sponsored by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.

Dr M Griesz-Brisson MD PhD is a leading European consultant neurologist and
neurophysiologist. In October 2020, she warned that rebreathing our exhaled air, because of
wearing masks, will create oxygen deficiency and an excess of carbon dioxide in the body.
‘We know,’ she said, ‘that the human brain is very sensitive to oxygen deprivation. There are
nerve cells in the hippocampus that cannot last longer than three minutes without oxygen.’ Dr
Griesz-Brisson pointed out that the acute warning symptoms of oxygen deprivation are
headaches, drowsiness, dizziness, difficulty in concentration and slowing down of reaction
times. The real danger is, however, that when the oxygen deprivation becomes chronic, the
symptoms disappear because the body gets used to them. However, efficiency remains
impaired and the damage to the brain continues. ‘We know that neurodegenerative disease
takes years to decades to develop. If today you forget your phone number, the breakdown in
your brain would have already started two or three decades ago.’
Dr Griesz-Brisson explains that while the mask wearer thinks that they are becoming
accustomed to re-breathing exhaled air, the problems within the brain are growing as the
oxygen deprivation continues.
She also points out that brain cells which die, because of a shortage of oxygen, will never
be replaced. They are gone for ever. She goes on to argue that everyone is entitled to claim
exemption from mask wearing because oxygen deprivation is so dangerous – and masks
don’t work.
Finally, Dr Griesz-Brisson points out that children and teenagers must never wear masks,
partly because they have extremely active and adaptive immune systems but also because
their brains are especially active and vulnerable. The more active an organ is the more
oxygen it needs. And so the damage to children’s brains is huge and irreversible.
She warns that dementia is going to increase in ten years, and the younger generation will
not be able to reach their potential because of the mask wearing.
Oxygen deprivation adversely affects the heart and the lungs but it also damages the brain.
And the damage will be permanent.
‘My conclusion has to be that no one has the right to force us to deprive our bodies of
oxygen for absolutely no good reason. Depriving individuals of oxygen is a crime perpetrated
by those demanding that we wear masks. Those who let it happen and those who collaborate
are also guilty. And those who wear masks in situations where they are not legally required
are cooperating in a criminal activity.’
Inevitably, Dr Griesz-Brisson’s interview was removed from YouTube as part of the
global suppression of medical information.

A paper entitled, Use of surgical face masks to reduce the incidence of the common cold
among health workers in Japan: a randomized clinical trial was published in the American
Journal of Infection Control in June 2009. The authors concluded that face mask use was
found not to be protective against the common cold when compared to controls who did not
wear face masks

Thousands of years ago, it was discovered that forcing people to wear masks covering much
of their faces broke their will and made them subservient. The masks depersonalised the
wearers and dehumanised them too.

CIA torture techniques include forcing people to remain isolated (as in lockdowns), to keep
their distance from others (social distancing) and to wear masks.

This new study, by MIT, has not been parsed out by any reliable media source yet but apparently THE SCIENCE indicates that most social distancing, including indoors, is largely bullshit.

This is almost disinfo. What about 1-5 feet?
