I am adamantly opposed to wearing face masks. I believe forcing children to wear them is really a form of child abuse. Children very rarely get Covid and when they do they recover. The physical and mental trauma from wearing one is taking a huge toll on children. All the research I've done says masks can't possibly protect from a virus because viruses are so small they can easily pass through the weave of a mask. The example I have seen is it is like trying to keep a mosquito out by using a chain link fence.
But I'm also opposed because common sense says inhibiting oxygen intake and retaining carbon dioxide is very bad for your health. Why have natural health doctors prescribed hyperbaric oxygen chambers to saturate unhealthy cells with oxygen? Oxygenating cells is one of the best ways to rid them of disease! How foolish to deprive cells of oxygen and think we are making ourselves healthier! I've seen people jogging with masks!! Fear has taken hold of so many! I've also seen many in cars wearing masks when they are the only person in the car! What insanity! What has happened to common sense?
This excerpt from a letter from Dr. Mercola should convince anyone who is still wearing a mask to stop immediately. You can read the entire article here.
Mask Use May Pose a Risk for Advanced Stage Lung Cancer
While it’s well-known that gut microbiota affect your immune system and risk of chronic diseases, it was long thought that lungs were sterile. Now it’s known that microbes from your mouth, known as oral commensals, frequently enter your lungs.19 Not only that, but researchers from New York University (NYU) Grossman School of Medicine revealed that when these oral commensals are “enriched” in the lungs, it’s associated with cancer.20
Specifically, in a study of 83 adults with lung cancer, those with advanced-stage cancer had more oral commensals in their lungs than those with early-stage cancer. Those with an enrichment of oral commensals in their lungs also had decreased survival and worsened tumor progression.
While the study didn’t look into how mask usage could affect oral commensals in your lungs, they did note, “The lower airway microbiota, whether in health or disease state, are mostly affected by aspiration of oral secretions, and the lower airway microbial products are in constant interaction with the host immune system.”21
It seems highly likely that wearing a mask would accelerate the accumulation of oral microbes in your lungs, thereby raising the question of whether mask usage could be linked to advanced stage lung cancer. The National Institutes of Health even conducted a study22 that confirmed when you wear a mask most of the water vapor you would normally exhale remains in the mask, becomes condensed and is re-inhaled.23
They went so far as to suggest that wearing a moist mask and inhaling the humid air of your own breath was a good thing, because it would hydrate your respiratory tract. But given the finding that inhaling the microbes from your mouth may increase advanced cancer risk, this hardly sounds like a benefit.
Not to mention, the humidity inside the mask will allow pathogenic bacteria to rapidly grow and multiply and, since the mask makes it more difficult to breathe, you’re likely to breathe heavier, thereby risking inhaling the microbes even deeper inside your lungs.
Masks Are Harming Children and Adults
The “new normal” of widespread masking is affecting not only the environment but also the mental and physical health of humans, including children. It’s largely assumed that face masks are “safe” for children to wear for long periods, such as during school, but no risk assessment has been carried out.24 Further, as evidenced by Germany's first registry recording the experience children are having wearing masks.25
Using data on 25,930 children, 24 health issues were reported that were associated with wearing masks that fell into the categories of physical, psychological and behavioral issues.26 They recorded symptoms that:27
“… included irritability (60%), headache (53%), difficulty concentrating (50%), less happiness (49%), reluctance to go to school/kindergarten (44%), malaise (42%), impaired learning (38%) and drowsiness or fatigue (37%).”
They also found 29.7% reported feeling short of breath, 26.4% being dizzy and 17.9% were unwilling to move or play.28 Hundreds more experienced “accelerated respiration, tightness in chest, weakness and short-term impairment of consciousness.”
It’s also known that microplastics exist in human placentas,29 and animal studies show that inhaled plastic particles pass through the placenta and into the heart and brains of fetuses.30 The fetuses exposed to the microplastics also gained less weight in the later part of the pregnancy.31
“We found the plastic nanoparticles everywhere we looked — in the maternal tissues, in the placenta and in the fetal tissues. We found them in the fetal heart, brain, lungs, liver and kidney,” lead research Phoebe Stapleton of Rutgers University told The Guardian.32
Dr. Jim Meehan, an ophthalmologist and preventive medicine specialist who has performed more than 10,000 surgical procedures and is also a former editor of the medical journal Ocular Immunology and Inflammation, also conducted an evidence-based scientific analysis on masks, which shows that not only should healthy people not be wearing masks but they could be harmed as a result.33
Meehan suggests that the notion of mask-wearing defies common sense and reason, considering that most of the population is at very low or almost no risk of becoming severely ill from COVID-19. He also compiled 17 ways that masks can cause harm:34
Medical masks adversely affect respiratory physiology and function | Medical masks lower oxygen levels in the blood |
Medical masks raise carbon dioxide levels in the blood | SAR-CoV-2 has a “furin cleavage” site that makes it more pathogenic, and the virus enters cells more easily when arterial oxygen levels decline, which means wearing a mask could increase COVID-19 severity |
Medical masks trap exhaled virus in the mouth/mask, increasing viral/infectious load and increasing disease severity | SARS-CoV-2 becomes more dangerous when blood oxygen levels decline |
The furin cleavage site of SARS-CoV-2 increases cellular invasion, especially during low blood oxygen levels | Cloth masks may increase the risk of contracting COVID-19 and other respiratory infections |
Wearing a face mask may give a false sense of security | Masks compromise communications and reduce social distancing |
Untrained and inappropriate management of face masks is common | Masks worn imperfectly are dangerous |
Masks collect and colonize viruses, bacteria and mold | Wearing a face mask makes the exhaled air go into the eyes |
Contact tracing studies show that asymptomatic carrier transmission is very rare | Face masks and stay at home orders prevent the development of herd immunity |
Face masks are dangerous and contraindicated for a large number of people with pre-existing medical conditions and disabilities |
Adding insult to injury, the first randomized controlled trial of more than 6,000 individuals to assess the effectiveness of surgical face masks against SARS-CoV-2 infection found masks did not statistically significantly reduce the incidence of infection.35
Considering the lack of evidence for their use, and the potential harms to human health and the environment, it’s no wonder that calls for peaceful civil disobedience against mandatory maskingare growing. The U.S. nonprofit Stand for Health Freedom has a widget you can use to contact your government representatives to let them know wearing a mask must be a personal choice.
