Neurosurgeon Says Face Masks Pose Serious Risk to Healthy People
PJ Media ^ | MAY 14, 2020 6:09 PM EST | Megan Fox

Dr. Russell Blaylock, a neurosurgeon, has written an editorial addressing healthy people wearing masks to protect themselves from COVID-19 and his advice is: don’t.

First, Blaylock says, there is no scientific evidence that it is effective against COVID-19 transmission. Pro-science people should care about this.

Now that we have established that there is no scientific evidence necessitating the wearing of a face mask for prevention, are there dangers to wearing a face mask, especially for long periods? Several studies have indeed found significant problems with wearing such a mask. This can vary from headaches, to increased airway resistance, carbon dioxide accumulation, to hypoxia, all the way to serious life-threatening complications.

There is another danger to wearing these masks on a daily basis, especially if worn for several hours. When a person is infected with a respiratory virus, they will expel some of the virus with each breath. If they are wearing a mask, especially an N95 mask or other tightly fitting mask, they will be constantly rebreathing the viruses, raising the concentration of the virus in the lungs and the nasal passages. We know that people who have the worst reactions to the coronavirus have the highest concentrations of the virus early on. And this leads to the deadly cytokine storm in a selected number. There is another danger to wearing these masks on a daily basis, especially if worn for several hours.

South Korea,Taiwan,and Japan stopped Covid-19 in its tracks by stupidily, among other things, having widespread face mask use.

Good. All MSM people should wear them indefinitely.

When Judy Mikovits said this in the documentary Plandemic, that “misinformation” was part of the excuse for immediately scrubbing it from social media.

In other news, scientists warn “do not cover you mouth when coughing or sneezing”. New studies reveal covering your mouth when coughing is incredibly dangerous!

It’s the law.

If you’re out in public you must wear a mask.

Lol - good point. People have been wearing masks for a variety of reasons (working around dust, paint, etc., etc.) for ages and there’s been no warning about how “dangerous” they are.

You’re joking, right?

I've done this when leaving stores (which require they be worn here). Sometimes you just forget to take them off.

Not in Georgia.

Down here in the Deep South, we only have to wear masks when we hold up convenience stores.
