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.

There is no indoor mask mandate.

The scum saw that people were buying tar from Home Depot and feather pillows online.

If you are wondering about the DOJ case fighting for the CDC to be able to impose mask mandates on flights....well...the science has changed (the political science).

Since the DOJ filed the case on June 1 and hasn't done shit since then, the "emergency" powers kinda lost their importance.

Wow, Canadians are disobeying the stupid and dehumanizing mask mandate, which they still have in place.

Study finds plastics found in masks present in patients’ lungs

Microplastic fibres were found deep in the lower lungs of living human beings in almost every person sampled in a recent UK study.

The study from Great Britain discovered microplastic particles — present in many COVID-19 masks — in the lung tissue of 11 out of 13 patients undergoing surgery.

Polypropylene (PP) and polyethylene terephthalate (PET) were the most prevalent substances present in the lungs.

The microscopic plastic fragments and fibres were discovered by scientists at Hull York Medical School in the UK. Some of the filaments were two millimetres long in patients undergoing surgery whose lung tissue they sampled.

The plastic dust and microscopic debris comprises the same plastics used to manufacture the ubiquitous surgical masks worn by hundreds of millions of people around the world as mandated by governments in an attempt to halt the spread of COVID-19.

Video has emerged of dirtbag Trudeau and his family getting off a private airforce jet not wearing any masks. The entitlement of Trudeau and his family is un-fuckung-real. Meanwhile, moms in Canada are thrown off planes because their kid won't mask up.

I think it's pretty obvious that masks don't work, and it's been obvious for a long time.

I almost think we've REALLY been put through an obedience test, but there's a plus to this, I think people are less willing to be obedient the next time around. I believe many people are realizing they were bamboozled.

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.

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.

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.

The surprising reason why this L.A. boutique says it banned COVID masks: Crime


Wearing a mask in public should be ILLEGAL.

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.

Australia ends mask mandates on all flights. Why does Canada keep them? Trudeau and his cabinet minister never wear masks on a plane — that’s only for photo ops. At what point does Canadian politeness become embarrassing submissiveness?

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.
