Please read and share. Study finds plastics entered human brains via the nose. Now, what have people been placing over their noses lately? 10/7/24...Undoubtedly, mask mandates during the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic have been generating an additional source of potentially harmful exposition to toxins with health threatening and carcinogenic properties at population level with almost zero distance to the airways. Read more. • Microplastics in the Olfactory Bulb of the Human Brain...9/16/24 • Wearing face masks as a potential source for inhalation and oral uptake of inanimate toxins – A scoping review...4/15/24 Mask mania claims a little boy’s life 2/4/24...an 11-month old boy has died after being forced to wear a face mask at nursery. The incident took place on January 24, despite the fact that mask mandates related to childcare in Taiwan were lifted over a year ago...‘According to surveillance video footage viewed by the parents, the incident happened when the boy became irritated and took off his mask, after which the teacher put it back on for him. At that point, the child burst out crying, which possibly saturated the mask with tears and mucus, causing it to stick to his nose and mouth and suffocate him. In the video footage, the child was then seen “struggling” and “falling over”. The teacher, however, apparently assumed he had become exhausted and fallen asleep, and only discovered that he was unresponsive 20 minutes later, when it was time to move the children to another room.’ Read more here and here. "Forcing people to wear masks has been a failure of public health and ‘the reason we are still having the mask debate is because authorities relied on trash studies to justify their use, and wanted to appear as if they were doing something. In a crisis, it is always more difficult to do nothing." Dr. Peter Gotzsche No ‘Evidence of Benefit’ From Masking Children: Multiple Study Review 12/6/23...Wearing face masks to counter COVID-19 provides no significant protective benefit to children...While there were no significant benefits in terms of transmission, hospitalization, and death rates among mask wearers, other reports revealed a worrying factor—harms to masked children. Read more. Child mask mandates for COVID-19: a systematic review Published 12/2/23...Mask mandates for children during the COVID-19 pandemic varied in different locations. A risk-benefit analysis of this intervention has not yet been performed. In this study, we performed a systematic review to assess research on the effectiveness of mask wearing in children....Real-world effectiveness of child mask mandates against SARS-CoV-2 transmission or infection has not been demonstrated with high-quality evidence. The current body of scientific data does not support masking children for protection against COVID-19. Read full study. Masks and Mandates...It’s Not About the Science 10/4/23...by Mark McDonald, MD & Dr. Jeff Barke...We are revisiting masks because apparently, we haven’t learned from history. The pores on a typical surgical mask and certainly all cloth and homemade masks are enormous compared to the size of an influenza or SARS-Cov2 (Covid) virus. It would be the approximate equivalent of trying to stop a mosquito using a chain-link fence. Read more.  AAPS Statement: Mask Mandates Do Not Prevent Spread of Respiratory Viruses, They Cause Harm, and Violate the Right to Informed Consent 9/12/23...Government recommendations and mandates regarding face coverings have been contradictory, provided to the public as authoritative without evidence, are in conflict with the available data, and neglect to mention any potential harm from use of coverings or masks. Read more. Mama Bears Project...Masks Masks serve many valuable purposes when used appropriately. They have a long history in many industries, and because of this, there are countless experts and a vast amount of data speaking to their value while also defining the suitable applications...We were told that masks were of no value in the beginning of covid. Then, overnight, the science was rewritten. But the facts have not changed. Prolonged use comes with numerous health risks, and prolonged use in children is worst of all...From decreased oxygen intake, leading to confusion and fatigue, to bacterial-laden environments causing respiratory problems. Worse than that, we are now getting a glimpse of the damages masking has caused to our children’s mental health, happiness and ability to thrive...Please review the information, listen to the experts and be aware of your own children’s struggles. Children need to breath, to see, to get dirty and to build a strong immune system. Watch videos. Lead Author of Cochrane Mask Review Responds to Fauci’s Dismissal of Evidence 9/8/23...Professor Tom Jefferson, who says he is committed to updating the Cochrane review as new evidence emerges, has responded to Fauci’s comments. “So, Fauci is saying that masks work for individuals but not at a population level? That simply doesn’t make sense,” said Jefferson.“And he says there are ‘other studies’…but what studies? He doesn’t name them so I cannot interpret his remarks without knowing what he is referring to,” he added. Read more.  More than 170 Comparative Studies and Articles on Mask Ineffectiveness and Harms 9/7/23...It is not unreasonable to conclude that surgical and cloth masks, used as they currently are being used (without other forms of PPE protection), have no impact on controlling the transmission of Covid-19 virus. Current evidence implies that face masks can be actually harmful. The body of evidence indicates that face masks are largely ineffective. Read more.

New Face Mask Harms and COVID Vaccines Approved Without Any Clinical Trials 4/26/23...There are a number of new papers out about face masks that are worth reading...The time is past for the CDC to come clean and admit that they were wrong about face masks. It is systemic child abuse by the US Government to continue to advocate that children wear masks. We have hard data that masks are ineffective at stopping the spread of COVID-19 and other respiratory diseases. We have hard data that the adverse events from mask wearing are significant and some of those may be permanent. We have hard data that mask mandates on children in schools did nothing to stop the spread of COVID-19. Their website needs to be updated immediately to reflect the science on face mask use.

Possible toxicity of chronic carbon dioxide exposure associated with face mask use, particularly in pregnant women, children and adolescents – A scoping review 3/3/23...During the SARS-CoV-2-pandemic, face masks have become one of the most important ubiquitous factors affecting human breathing. It increases the resistance and dead space volume leading to a re-breathing of CO2. So far, this phenomenon and possible implications on early life has not been evaluated in depth. Read more. The Mask Mandates Did Nothing. Will Any Lessons Be Learned? 2/21/23...The most rigorous and comprehensive analysis of scientific studies conducted on the efficacy of masks for reducing the spread of respiratory illnesses — including Covid-19 — was published late last month. Its conclusions, said Tom Jefferson, the Oxford epidemiologist who is its lead author, were unambiguous. “There is just no evidence that they” — masks — “make any difference,” he told the journalist Maryanne Demasi. “Full stop.” Read more. Cochran Review: Face Masks Are Useless In Stopping Covid-19 2/10/23...The Cochran Institute, a collaboration of international researchers recognized as the highest standard in evidence-based healthcare reviews, recently reported they found no reliable data to support that face masks prevent the spread of COVID-19. Led by Tom Jefferson, Senior Associate Tutor at the University of Oxford, the study highlights the haphazard and unsubstantiated manner in which the Biden administration and other governments around the world failed society by demanding—with no proof to back up their tyranny—that every man, woman, and child cover their faces, get an experimental mRNA injection, or risk killing their loved ones. Read more. Lead author of new Cochrane review speaks out "There is just no evidence that they (masks) make any difference. Full stop. My job, our job as a review team, was to look at the evidence, we have done that..." 2/5/23...Tom Jefferson, senior associate tutor at the University of Oxford, is the lead author of a recent Cochrane review that has ‘gone viral’ on social media and re-ignited one of the most divisive debates during the pandemic - face masks...The updated review titled “Physical interventions to interrupt or reduce the spread of acute respiratory viruses” found that wearing masks in the community probably makes little or no difference to influenza-like or covid-19-like illness transmission. Read more. Masking Children in the Name of Protection: The Dangers of Prolonged Use 2/2/23...Since 2020, when COVID-19 kicked off a flurry of rules in the name of public health, masking everyone—including young children—has been painted by authorities as a commonsense, risk-free measure to prevent the spread of infection among society. However, we must consider the downsides to concealing a major portion of children’s faces—especially when they’re prone to nearly zero risk of serious illness. Read more. Rigorous international study of N95 masks upends federal COVID narrative 12/2/22...a new peer-reviewed, randomized controlled trial (RCT) of N95s versus surgical masks, considered the midrange of protection, is undermining the late federal pivot to higher-quality masks and calls to reimpose mask mandates in schools, among other settings.

International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health Review published 4/20/21  Many countries introduced the requirement to wear masks in public spaces for containing SARS-CoV-2 making it commonplace in 2020. Up until now, there has been no comprehensive investigation as to the adverse health effects masks can cause. The aim was to find, test, evaluate and compile scientifically proven related side effects of wearing masks...The literature revealed relevant adverse effects of masks in numerous disciplines. In this paper, we refer to the psychological and physical deterioration as well as multiple symptoms described because of their consistent, recurrent and uniform presentation from different disciplines as a Mask-Induced Exhaustion Syndrome (MIES)…Extended mask-wearing by the general population could lead to relevant effects and consequences in many medical fields. Read more. See page 30 for adverse effects to pregnant women and children. A New Low in Mask Studies 8/1/22...Ian Miller, Author of Unmasked: The Global Failure of COVID Mask Mandates "What’s remarkable about this review is that the authors discredit their own work almost immediately. The poor quality writing is readily apparent, both from their repeated phrasing of “facemasks” as one word, and the fact that of 1,732 studies considered for inclusion, only 13 actually met the criteria." Read more. A Very Important New Study on School Masking 7/5/22...Ian Miller School masking has undoubtedly been one of the COVID’s most infuriating issues. The case for masking by the general public has quite obviously always been weak, considering there was no pre-pandemic planning that suggested masking would ever be beneficial...But the case to mask children has always been significantly worse.

Revisiting Pediatric COVID-19 Cases in Counties With and Without School Mask Requirements—United States, July 1—October 20 2021 5/25/22...Background: There has been considerable debate around mask requirements in schools in the United States and other countries during the Covid-19 pandemic. To date, there have been no randomized controlled trials of mask requirements in children. All analyses of the effectiveness of school mask mandates have relied on observational studies. The Centers for Disease Control in the U.S. have released multiple observational studies suggesting that school mask mandates significantly reduce case rates. However, there have also been numerous additional US and international observational studies finding no significant effect of school mask mandates on pediatric cases. Read more.

Read more.  Masking: More Harms than Good? Face masks make the disease worse, and have no impact on ocular infection risk 6/1/22...Robert W. Malone, MD, MS The Foegen effect A mechanism by which facemarks contribute to the COVID-19 case fatality rate The most important finding from this study is that contrary to the accepted thought that fewer people are dying because infection rates are reduced by masks, this was not the case. Results from this study strongly suggest that mask mandates actually caused about 1.5 times the number of deaths or ∼50% more deaths compared to no mask mandates...A rationale for the increased RR by mandating masks is probably that virions that enter or those coughed out in droplets are retained in the facemask tissue, and after quick evaporation of the droplets,[17] hypercondensed droplets or pure virions (virions not inside a droplet) are re-inhaled from a very short distance during inspiration. This process will be referred to as the “Foegen effect” because a review of the literature did not yield any results on this effect, which has not been described earlier. Read more.

Are masks effective for Covid-19? What the science says… Masking has become common in many places around the world during the Covid-19 pandemic. Many workplaces, public spaces, school districts, and even child care facilities have enacted mask mandates as a means of slowing the spread of the Covid-19 virus. At no time in history has the general population ever worn masks for extended periods of time and in such a variety of contexts. This raises many questions for parents, concerned citizens, and medical experts around the world as to whether masks are effective, safe, and necessary. In this article, we will address those questions using the latest scientific and medical data. Read more.  "God designed us to be as healthy as possible in our natural environment. When exhaling viruses, they would generally be exposed to sunlight or would land on surfaces which were not conducive to their continued existence. Besides concentrating viruses on masks, which we would then touch and handle, raising the level of viruses on our hands, we are also concentrating them on our faces, where they might easily be re-inhaled."

Why We Must Unmask by Jason Fertig, January 29, 2021 Over 80 percent of Americans covering their faces when leaving the home is a sign of submission to the one-party oligarchy that has replaced our constitutional republic. Masks are a symbol of fear, and a scared populace is more likely to obey mandates for the sake of safety. Masks are a sign that the American people will comply with a government violation of their personal liberty without proof of any personal or societal benefit. That last sentence is crucial. Throwing the masks away is not just an issue of political liberty, it needs to be done because masks don’t stop an airborne respiratory virus. Read more.

Literature research: Are there Risks associated with the use of a mouth-nose-cover (MNC1) in children and adolescents? Care4Truth – Interdisciplinary research team, December 2020 Posted on World Doctors Alliance In recent months there have been repeated discussions about the benefits and harms of a mouth-nose-cover2 (MNC). For example, the recommendation changed from “counterproductive for the general population” to “unnecessary”, to “possibly protective”, to “protective”, to “urgent recommendation” and finally to “compulsory wearing". It is not surprising that this discussion is not only scientific, but also political and emotional. The obligation to wear a mask has now been extended to students of different ages in many federal states. But what about the assessment of the proportionality and, above all, of the safety of the use of an MNC for children and young people? Read more. Click here for full PDF.  Danish Mask Study; No Benefit Published on Swiss Policy Research, November 18, 2020 The Danish randomized controlled trial on the real-world efficacy of face masks against coronavirus infection – the first of its kind – has now been published in the Annals of Internal Medicine. As expected, the trial found no statistically significant benefit of wearing a face mask. The study used “high-quality surgical masks with a filtration rate of 98%”. US researcher Yinon Weiss has meanwhile updated his charts on mask mandates and coronavirus infections in various countries and US states. The charts indicate that mask mandates have made no difference, or may even have been counterproductive. Read more.

Masks Delay Inevitable Acceptance of COVID-19 Reality Analysis by Dr. Joseph Mercola, November 14, 2020 The most recent evidence of all, which would bring us quite a bit closer to settling the argument about masks is a Danish randomized controlled trial of 6,000 people that sought to prove the usefulness of face masks against COVID-19 infection. The problem appears to be that it didn't, because the researchers can't get it published...According to the researchers, the study will be published as soon as "someone dares to do so." Considering the argument against mask wearing has been the lack of evidence, if this COVID-19 specific trial actually shows that it works, why would journals refuse to publish it?...A cursory translation of the study, which is currently only available in German, reveals that it found mask wearing resulted in tens of millions of contaminations that can occur each day as people use the masks inappropriately, touch their faces and neglect to wash their hands...Read more.
Is that Mask Giving You Lung Cancer? It’s Criminal to Force Children to Wear Masks all Day by Guy Crittenden, Posted on Health Impact News, October 27, 2020 I happen to know a thing or two about masks and safety. Why? Because for 25 years I was the editor of an award-winning trade magazine called HazMat Management that covered such topics as pollution prevention and compliance with health & safety laws. We routinely published articles on masks, gloves, respirators and other forms of personal protective equipment (PPE). Now let me tell you a few things about that mask you’re wearing. Read more.

Healthy People Should Not Wear Face Masks During the COVID-19 pandemic, public health experts began telling us to follow a number of disease mitigation strategies that sounded reasonably scientific, but actually had little or no support in the scientific literature. Community wearing of masks was one of the more dangerous recommendations from our confused public health experts. Read more. "If masks don't work, then why do surgeons wear them?" I'm a surgeon that has performed over 10,000 surgical procedures wearing a surgical mask…First, let's be clear. The premise that surgeons wearing masks serves as evidence that "masks must work to prevent viral transmission" is a logical fallacy that I would classify as an argument of false equivalence, or comparing "apples to oranges." Although surgeons do wear masks to prevent their respiratory droplets from contaminating the surgical field and the exposed internal tissues of our surgical patients, that is about as far as the analogy extends. Read more. No, the Science on Universal Mask Use is Not Settled by Jeremy R. Hammond, September 23, 2020 ...As a newly appointed member of the White House coronavirus task force, Atlas has “argued over the science of mask wearing.” ...the view expressed by Dr. Atlas is precisely the same as the mask guidance from no less authoritative a source than the World Health Organization, which likewise recommends the use of masks in certain circumstances when prolonged close contact with others is unavoidable while also observing that policies recommending or mandating the universal use of masks by the public are unsupported by scientific evidence.

Do facemasks protect against COVID‐19 Journal of Paediatrics and Child Health, June 2020 ...Surgical facemasks are designed to be discarded after single use. As they become moist they become porous and no longer protect. Indeed, experiments have shown that surgical and cotton masks do not trap the SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) virus, which can be detected on the outer surface of the masks for up to 7 days. Thus, a presymptomatic or mildly infected person wearing a facemask for hours without changing it and without washing hands every time they touched the mask could paradoxically increase the risk of infecting others.

Science showing the fallacy and inaccuracies of public health mandates to wear face masks Compiled by Dr. Alan Palmer Science Says Healthy People Should Not Wear Masks Peggy Hall, The Healthy American “How can a person be forced by any business or government entity to wear a mask (which affects the respiratory system) without having a physical exam by a licensed doctor who approves such an action?” Read more.

The Great Unmasking: Studies in the Medical Literature Show FEWER Infections in Surgery when Medical Staff Do NOT Wear Masks Posted on Health Impact News, August 15, 2020 Beliefs are interesting things. Those who make a conscious effort to look at why they believe something as true, will usually find that more than 90% of the time, we believe something to be true because someone we respect told us so, or such a large group of people believe it to be true that we just assume it to be true as well. Seldom is it because we took the time ourselves to do the actual research to see if our beliefs actually align with the data that is available. Read more. Horowitz: Exposing the maskerade: The questions every American should be asking about indefinite mask mandates by Daniel Horowitz · July 24, 2020 To this day, there has never been a clinical study with randomized controlled trials in non-health-care settings that vouch for the effectiveness of universal mask-wearing in public.

We've all heard the adage, "Your mask protects me. My mask protects you." For months we got daily reports from mainstream media that Covid-19 "cases" were on the rise and that masks, quarantines and lockdowns were necessary. From very early on, the long time truth seeker in me questioned the efficacy and safety of masks -- especially for our children -- and whether any possible benefit was greater than the physical, mental, emotional, psychological and even spiritual harm they can and do cause.
