The eldest Kardashian daughter, Kourtney, 41, is catching flak for peddling eyebrow-raising claims about the supposed health risks of surgical masks to her 102 million Instagram followers.
On Halloween, the “Keeping Up With the Kardashians” star reposted an unattributed blurb that read in part, “Those Blue Masks Mandated at grocery stores & airplanes are made of PTFE, a carcinogen made of synthetic fluoride.”
The medical warning about PTFE, or polytetrafluoroethylene — a man-made chemical found in nonstick cooking coatings like Teflon — included a picture of a ubiquitous three-ply, single-use blue surgical mask. The post went on: “According to Cancer.Org it increases the risk of liver, testicle, pancreas, kidney & breast tumors + ulcerative colitis, thyroid disease, preeclampsia and high cholesterol. High exposure can cause influenza-like symptoms and hemorrhaging in the lungs, leading to suffocation.”

At least she didn’t tell everyone that a Mask won’t stop a virus, never has and nvere will or that continuous mask wearing may cause Bacterial Pneumonia
There would be a lot of dead doctors and nurses if that bullshit was true.
A decade or so down the line, billions of people will have lung and breathing problems due to these masks.
No doctors born before 1900 are currently alive.
I’ve watched KUWTK’s for years. Yes, they are liberal. I still like it. And my favorite is Kourtney. And Scott. Wish they were still together.
EXACTLY!
What a steaming pile of BS.
I wonder what the Chinese are putting on the masks?
EXACTLY!
What a steaming pile of BS.
” There would be a lot of dead doctors and nurses if that bullshit was true. “
Nope.
Those are not the masks that doctors and nurses wear.
And even if they did, her claim was not that they cause death but rather that they are unhealthful.
They are polyester, not PTFE.
It doesnt really matter if she is an idiot or how wrong she is, what matters is that she has 102 million idiot followers and they vote. If it scares a few into voting for Trump to get rid of the masks then I think its great. We can tell her/them afterwards.
