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.
And please note that what I’m about to share was also stated in the most recent edition of Del Bigtree’s program The Highwire when two OSHA mask experts spoke to the fact that the kinds of masks people are wearing were never (never!) designed to be worn for long periods and doing so is very harmful.
The blue typical mask depicted in the photograph contain Teflon and other chemicals.
A Facebook friend reminds us:
1. Masks are “sterilized” with Ethylene Oxide — a known carcinogen. Many teachers in various school boards have been experiencing significant symptoms as a direct result of the effects of this chemical.
2. The masks contain (not sprayed with) PTFE which makes up Teflon along with other chemicals. I found and have posted the US patent to allow manufacturers to use PTFE as a filter in commercial masks… “breathing these for extended periods can lead to lung cancer.”
Don’t agree? Argue with the experts at OSHA, which is the main US agency, i.e., its Occupational Health & Safety Agency.
These masks are meant to be worn only for short periods, like say if you’re sanding a table for an hour and don’t want to inhale sawdust...

You don’t need a mask unless you are spending time with the same person for any length of time. Wearing a mask in a store is useless which is why they aren’t considered for contact tracing. You won’t hear of a Kroger closing because a customer had Covid.
The mask is mostly a virtue signal and a chance for bureaucrats to exercise control over you. If the masks worked, people in nursing homes wouldn’t be getting sick.
Yes. They are getting us used to being muzzled.
Keeping people’s faces covered will ultimately make us suspicious of each other. We all look like bank robbers. You can’t smile at a stranger passing by. We can’t read each other’s facial expressions which are *crucial* forms of communication. Nonverbal behavior speaks loudly.
We must stay physically separated. That’s useful for a government that plans to suppress any resistance. Don’t let people gather and talk to each other. And, most importantly, keep them out of CHURCHES!
Any word about mosques yet?
It has been horrifying to watch how eagerly Americans rolled over and showed their bellies. Now we have nitwits who are downright gleeful about masking. “We can wear them every time we have a cold or the flu!”
That’s a good little bot.
The longer we stay isolated
the weaker our immune system gets!
I do know they are worthless. I don’t wear them to protect myself. I protect myself by taking Vit. D, keeping slim, etc.
I wear them because they are mandatory and businesses can have their licenses taken away if I don’t.
Thanks for sharing the links.
Documented may not mean what you think it does.
I’ve seen nothing from you or anyone else that convinces me that my experiment doesn’t have relevance to how much of the virus reaches people at a distance, with and without a mask. Common sense tells me that feeling the air from a cough is worse than having so little air from the cough reach you that you don’t feel it.
Whether wearing masks have side effects more dangerous than the risk from COVID-19 itself is another matter, and I don’t know. That’s not as easy to confirm as what I did. I suspect those fears are exaggerated, though.
This is absolutely true. We cannot develop herd immunity during internment.
Do not listen to the paid liars denying the existence of herd immunity. If it didn’t exist, why are we still here? Some plague should have wiped out the human race eons ago.
What a boon for tyrants: a weak, sick, socially isolated population.
I am deeply concerned by the psychological damage they are doing to children. Kids *need* to interact with their peers if they are to develop normally and learn healthy empathy for others. This is especially alarming.
No one is talking about what the lack of healthy exercise is doing to kids. I certainly don’t want them doing anything aerobic while they suck in their own foul air; kids do not need to be muzzled. Absent underlying conditions, kids under 10 are low risk. They don’t have the receptors for CV-19.
Consider what those with evil intent can accomplish if they can block the development of normal empathy?
