I am seriously tired of the mask zombies š·š§āāļø š· š§āāļø , politicians and media who mask shame and pretend to know what they are talking about regarding masks preventing the spread of the big, bad evil Crayola Virus, aka COVID-19, let alone being totally ignorant of what they do to your health.
After replying to yet another mindless mask zombie yesterday, in what took four comment posts, I decided to finally put all the references Iāve found into one article: that way, next time ā one comment to one link. This is adapted from several letters to friends and businesses Iāve written regarding the subject at hand.
Here are the three problems with face masks:
Face masks literally do nothing to stop the spread of any virus.
Wearing a face mask makes a human hypoxic (decrease blood O2) and hypercapnic (increased blood CO2); both conditions markedly decrease brain and immune system response; in other words, they make you stupid and weak.
Wearing a face mask hinders communication.
The most poignant demonstration of why a mask wonāt stop viral transmission is shown in this video by Dr. Ted Noel, a 36 year anesthesiologist. While watching, keep in mind that the vape and smoke particles are far larger than the virus is. Yet the mask does nothing at all to stop the transmission of either nor would it stop the virus.
Most are not aware that on July 31, the CDC rolled back the mask recommendations. Since the CDC tends to update or change these recommendations, (https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/php/public-health-recommendations.html) etc. often, here is the verbiage as of that date:
The note in the middle column reads:
Note: This is irrespective of whether the person with COVID-19 or the contact was wearing a mask or whether the contact was wearing respiratory personal protective equipment (PPE).
From the ** note starting the 3rd line down:
While research indicates masks may help those who are infected from spreading the infection, there is less information regarding whether masks offer any protection for a contact exposed to a symptomatic or asymptomatic patient. Therefore, the determination of close contact should be made irrespective of whether the person with COVID-19 or the contact was wearing a mask. Because the general public has not received training on proper selection and use of respiratory PPE, it cannot be certain whether respiratory PPE worn during contact with an individual with COVID-19 infection protected them from exposure. Therefore, as a conservative approach, the determination of close contact should generally be made irrespective of whether the contact was wearing respiratory PPE, which is recommended for health care personnel and other trained users, or a mask recommended for the general public.
Next, are two articles, both written by medical doctors.
The first was published on June 26 by the same Dr. Ted Noel from the video above.
The second was published on May 11 by Dr. Russell Blaylock, a board-certified neurosurgeon, health practitioner, author, and lecturer. His article received considerable push-back in the media because it doesn't fit the narrative.
Both are well documented, and I pull some of the salient points from the research papers linked or references in each.
1) Beder, et al found that for surgeons wearing a surgical mask after one hour, pulse increased and arterial pulsations (SpO2) decreased. "... a very small decrease in saturation at this level, reflects a large decrease in PaO2 (partial pressure of O2),..." This was most pronounced in surgeons over the age of 35. Note that a decrease PaO2 can lead to hypoxic conditions.
(https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S1130147308702355 & https://airwayjedi.com/2015/12/09/difference-oxygen-saturation-pao2/)
2) Furthermore, hypoxia has a direct negative effect on the immune system, which raises the risk of infection.
3) There is not conclusive evidence that surgical masks wore in the Operating Room (OR) reduce infections of patients.
4) MacIntyre, et al, found that using cloth masks result in higher rates of infection and particle transmission when compared to medical masks. (https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/25903751/)
5) Because of low adherence (improper wearing of the masks, which is rampant), MacIntyre, et al, concluded, in separate study, that, "... household use of masks is associated with low adherence and is ineffective in controlling seasonal ILI. If adherence were greater, mask use might reduce transmission during a severe influenza pandemic." (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2662657/)
6) Davies, et al, concluded that while a homemade mask would be better than no protection, it should only be considered as a last resort to prevent droplet transmission from infected individuals. (https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/24229526/)
7) In a comprehensive review, Brosseau and Sietsema conclude, "Cloth masks are ineffective as source control and PPE, surgical masks have some role to play in preventing emissions from infected patients, and respirators are the best choice for protecting healthcare and other frontline workers, but not recommended for source control." Read this one for sure.
A third article, also by Dr. Noel, discusses hormesis, adaptive response of cells and organisms to a moderate (usually intermittent) stress.
Now keep in mind that viruses have existed since the beginning of time; we co-exist symbiotically with them, indeed we each walk around with about a pound of viruses in our guts, they are not going away. (https://www.heartland.org/news-opinion/news/the-real-threat-of-viruses)
Moving on to some other references, on June 21, 2020, the Ontario Civil Liberties Association (OCLA) sent a letter (http://ocla.ca/ocla-letter-who/) to the WHO Direct General, Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, requesting that that the WHO retract its recommendation to decision makers advising the use of face masks in the general population. It is extremely well documented, both from civil liberties and scientific perspectives. Over the next several days, the OCLA issued multiple letters (http://ocla.ca/opposing-mandatory-face-masks-in-ontario-municipalities/) to municipal authorities opposing mandatory face masks in Ontario municipalities, which culminated in a recommendation for civil disobedience against mandatory masking (http://ocla.ca/opposing-mandatory-face-masks-in-ontario-municipalities/).
And in this article, by Ms. Kristina Kristen from Aug 20 presents an excellent review of not only the mask issue but the entire, idiotic response to the Crayola Virus. Her article is well supported with over three dozen references (disclaimer, some may be the same as I've cited above): https://childrenshealthdefense.org/news/covid-response-is-all-cost-no-benefit/?cn-reloaded=1
As if all that is not enough, dentists are now reporting stinky breath and rotting teeth, coined, wait for it, ā¦ mask mouth! Yuck! https://nypost.com/2020/08/05/mask-mouth-is-a-seriously-stinky-side-effect-of-wearing-masks/
Finally, somewhere between 80% to 90% of communication between humans is non-verbal. This includes things such as intonation, tone, rhythm of speech, eye contact, posture, and other body language such as hand gestures, even pheromones. Not only do face masks muffled the human voice, they shield much of the human facial expression, and to a large degree our identity and God given humanity as well. https://vivipins.com/how-much-of-communication-is-really-nonverbal/
It is morally reprehensible, medically unethical, and illegal for politicians, bureaucrats and business owners to mandate the wear of face masks for all people without knowing the harmful effects, the particular medical condition of each individual, and without the due process of legislation, and even then it would be suspect due to the first two points.
So, to close on a light note, if all that hasnāt convinced the reader that this obsession by our so-called leaders over face masks is about control and submission, NOT health, then I suggest a performance of the Safety Mask dance is in order. Just follow along with Media Bear!
Now, please #TaketheMaskOff and get a #CranialRectalExtraction ASAP!

This was my fifth article on LinkedIn, originally published on September 01, 2020, and republished here on February 02, 2021. The original posting on LinkedIn had a different, although similar, header photo, which I neglected to save; however, the one here is just as fitting.
As with all things CDC, the data and postings are continually updated, flip-flopped, and the old postings are buried in the archives. The verbiage I have quoted above was current when I wrote the article, while the link points to the current "guidance."

Update April 20, 2021
I found this article by Pam Popper from October 5, 2020 buried in my email, which I think was one of her first, if not the first, of her "Forbidden COVID-19 Chronicles." I've left out the intro part, where she describes her video discussing masks being taken down by YouTube, and that going forward, she will post such "forbidden information" on a Bitchute channel. This is a summary of points from an article by Arthur Firstenberg (The Invisible Rainbow, A History of Electricity and Life), posted on August 11, 2020, which is reference 1 in the PDF below, and principally focuses on masking in operating rooms.

Update April 19, 2022
Lot's of development recently on getting rid of the mask mandates.
First, however, I found this about a month ago when I joined the Facebook Group Americans Against Mask Mandates:
228 Scientific Studies & Medical Articles Show Masks Donāt Reduce COVID-19 Spread But Harm Human Health
Sunday before last, April 10, Fauci Warns of Potential Return of Indoor Mask Mandate. Sundance's words are poignant in the least:
It is unnerving to realize how many people can be influenced to believe in something that lacks any logic or reason. Iām not sure how long, if ever, this tear in the social fabric will last or take to repair. Many of these COVID consequences have divided people permanently.
And as we know, Behind the Masks are frightened physically mature humans, who never grew up, matured, nor learned how to actually act as adults.
Yesterday, April 18, U.S. District Judge Kathryn Kimball Mizelle overturned Bidenās mask mandate. Finally! My comment on social media after reading her ruling:
The judge does an otherwise excellent job.
Her big error:
āThe Court accepts the CDCās policy determination that requiring masks will limit COVID -19 transmissionā¦ā
However, she otherwise reams them out for acting like a rouge agency in the conclusion:
āā¦ the mandates exceeded the CDCās statutory authority, improperly invoked the good cause exception to notice and commenting rule making, and failed to adequately explain its decision. Because āour system does not permit agencies to act unlawfully even in pursuit of desirable ends,ā the Court declares unlawful and vacates the mask mandate.ā
The puppet and his masters will appeal no doubt but her legal argument as far as how they came to implement the mask mandate and why it is illegal is ironclad.
She does leave them wiggle room if they follow the rules, but if they do, any arguments in favor of the mask will be shredded, which they know and is why the attempted to not follow the rules in the first place. Just like everything else, the criminals know their actions canāt stand on truth or any valid argument so they lie cheat and steal.

Update June 28, 2022
"In our sample of healthy individuals, at rest, after a few minutes of surgical masks use, the mean inhaled air CO2 approached the occupational exposure limit of 5000 ppm, and this threshold was largely exceeded when wearing FFP2 respirators. Notably, the CO2 concentration significantly increased with increasing respiratory rates, reaching around 5200 ppm in those breathing at 18 or more breaths per minute with surgical masks, and the minors showed substantially higher CO2 concentrations than adults."

Update March 1, 2023
The link on the Feb 4 update is to the recent update of the Cochrane Library's periodic review of the same title. The conclusions in the January 30, 2023 update, linked above are virtually identical to those in the November 20, 2020 study, when we were 9 months into this insanity.
From the Nov 20, 2020 review:
Authors' conclusions
The high risk of bias in the trials, variation in outcome measurement, and relatively low compliance with the interventions during the studies hamper drawing firm conclusions and generalizing the findings to the current COVIDā19 pandemic.
There is uncertainty about the effects of face masks. The lowāmoderate certainty of the evidence means our confidence in the effect estimate is limited, and that the true effect may be different from the observed estimate of the effect. The pooled results of randomized trials did not show a clear reduction in respiratory viral infection with the use of medical/surgical masks during seasonal influenza. There were no clear differences between the use of medical/surgical masks compared with N95/P2 respirators in healthcare workers when used in routine care to reduce respiratory viral infection. Hand hygiene is likely to modestly reduce the burden of respiratory illness. Harms associated with physical interventions were underāinvestigated.
There is a need for large, wellādesigned RCTs addressing the effectiveness of many of these interventions in multiple settings and populations, especially in those most at risk of ARIs.
And from the Jan 30, 2023 review:
Authors' conclusions
The high risk of bias in the trials, variation in outcome measurement, and relatively low adherence with the interventions during the studies hampers drawing firm conclusions. There were additional RCTs during the pandemic related to physical interventions but a relative paucity given the importance of the question of masking and its relative effectiveness and the concomitant measures of mask adherence which would be highly relevant to the measurement of effectiveness, especially in the elderly and in young children.
There is uncertainty about the effects of face masks. The low to moderate certainty of evidence means our confidence in the effect estimate is limited, and that the true effect may be different from the observed estimate of the effect. The pooled results of RCTs did not show a clear reduction in respiratory viral infection with the use of medical/surgical masks. There were no clear differences between the use of medical/surgical masks compared with N95/P2 respirators in healthcare workers when used in routine care to reduce respiratory viral infection. Hand hygiene is likely to modestly reduce the burden of respiratory illness, and although this effect was also present when ILI and laboratoryāconfirmed influenza were analysed separately, it was not found to be a significant difference for the latter two outcomes. Harms associated with physical interventions were underāinvestigated.
There is a need for large, wellādesigned RCTs addressing the effectiveness of many of these interventions in multiple settings and populations, as well as the impact of adherence on effectiveness, especially in those most at risk of ARIs.

June 4, 2023
Update Dec 7, 2023 - Pearl Harbor Day
Two more below, which are from that last few weeks. Despite the mounting evidence of the ineffectiveness, and often harmful effects of masking, people are still doing so. I flew home from DFW two days ago via CLT and there were far too many folks wearing them. In fact the woman who sat next to me on the DFW-CLT leg had hers on nearly the entire flight, save for when she was taking a sip of her drink. When she sat down, she proceeded to wipe the tray table and armrests off with alcohol wipes!! š¤¦āāļø
Here's the first one:
theincidenceofself-reportedCOVID-19 was33%(aRR1.33;95%CI1.03ā1.72)higher in those wearing face masks often or sometimes, and 40%(aRR1.40;95%CI1.08ā1.82) higher in those wearing face masks almost always or always, compared to participants who reported wearing face masks never or almost never.
And the second:
In this systematic review, we fail to find any evidence of benefit from masking children, to either protect themselves or those around them, from COVID-19. Harms of masking may include affected speech, language and emotional development, and physical discomfort contributing to reduced time and intensity of exercise and learning activities, and the long-term effects are too early to be measured. Adults who work with children should be educated about the lack of clear benefits and the potential harms of masking children, and there is no scientific evidence supporting a recommendation for masking in these professions.
In summary, child mask mandates fail a basic risk-benefit analysis. Recommending child masking to prevent the spread of COVID-19 is unsupported by current scientific data and inconsistent with accepted ethical norms that aim to provide additional protection from harm for vulnerable populations.
Take 'em off already folks.
