The range of acceptable opinion on COVID-19 mitigation efforts may be widening, with peer-reviewed medical journals recently publishing research finding that masks likely harm schoolchildren and questioning whether benefits from COVID-19 vaccines outweigh risks.
Measured carbon dioxide content in "inhaled air," observed in a study of masked German schoolchildren, was at least three-fold higher than German law allows, according to a research letter published this week in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) Pediatrics.
Last week, the journal Vaccines, affiliated with the American Society for Virology, published research that estimates every three COVID-19 deaths prevented by vaccination are offset by two deaths "inflicted by vaccination," using Israeli and European data.
The papers share a lead author, Harald Walach, a professor in Poznan University of the Medical Sciences' Pediatric Clinic in Poland and University of Witten/Herdecke's psychology department in Germany.
"Most of the complaints reported by children" in a Germany-wide register on mask-wearing, including irritability, headache and reluctance to go to school, "can be understood as consequences of elevated carbon dioxide levels in inhaled air," the JAMA Pediatrics paper said. It cited the "dead-space volume of the masks, which collects exhaled carbon dioxide quickly after a short time."
In light of "impairments attributable to hypercapnia," or the bloodstream buildup of CO2, policymakers should reconsider requiring children to wear masks, it said.
The study passed muster at the University of Witten/Herdecke's ethics board, given that it required each child to wear various masks for a total of 15 minutes, in contrast to the "several hours" they spend masked in school, the trial protocol said.
The authors tried out various masks, including KN95 respirators and surgical masks, on 45 healthy children ages 6-17 in southwest Germany. The room was "well ventilated several times" for each experiment, with CO2 content of ambient air kept...

A lower oxygen supply to the brain’s of young children helps make future democrats.
Pretty sure the parents forcing that on their kids are already indoctrinating them down the victim path anyway.
I want ot know where are the Republicans demanding that the left explain why they forced kids bja mandates sanctioned by the Biden admin, to do something that was harmful to them?
So disgusting. The mask is control item no different than the burka. Fauci’s cult will not give up because the power is that great. What scamdemic has done to these kids is sickening.
Seems to me there were a lot Freepers who thought kids should wear masks. Probably the usual present day vaxxer suspects.
