What can we say about the harms masks do to children? Is there any evidence that could inform parents about dangers of these masks, whose ineffectiveness we have established in Part 1?
We wish to raise some key issues. During April to October 2020 in the U.S., emergency room visits linked to mental health problems (e.g., anxiety) for children aged 5-11 increased by nearly 25% and increased by 31% for those aged 12-17 years old as compared to the same period in 2019. During the month of June 2020, 25% of persons aged 18 to 24 in the U.S. reported suicidal ideation. While some of this may be related to the pandemic, we suspect that it is largely a function of our response to the pandemic. Child suicides have escalated in the U.S. due to the lockdowns and school closures.
One of the most starkly revealing and troubling observations come from Margarite Griesz-Brisson, M.D., Ph.D., who is one of Europe's leading neurologists and neurophysiologists focused on neurotoxicology, environmental medicine, neuro-regeneration and neuroplasticity. She has gone on record stating: "The rebreathing of our exhaled air will without a doubt create oxygen deficiency and a flooding of carbon dioxide. We know that the human brain is very sensitive to oxygen deprivation." There are neurons, for example, in the hippocampus that cannot survive more than three minutes without an adequate supply of oxygen. Given that such cells are so sensitive to oxygen deprivation, their functionality must be affected by low oxygen levels.

They aren’t masks.
They’re muzzles.
And muzzling children is child abuse.
Eggs Zak Lee! I was pleased to see the kids walk out of their high school in protest the other day in, IIRC, Colorado. A glimmer of hope?

If you sweat a lot it’s like being waterboarded , had one on while taking apart an old mattress on a very humid day
Worst thing about masks is that people think they are preventing covid 19 infection when the only real way to do that is to get vaccinated against it.
As for the “science” 50-60 years ago the government was on a crusade to force the textile manufacturing industry (yes American once could make its own clothing) eliminate cotton fibers in the air of textile factories due to its harmful impact on the lungs. When you breathe through a cotton mask, tiny fibers separate from the threads and go directly into the lungs.
If the mask is made in China, who knows what chemicals were used in the bleaching and dying processes to manufacture the fabric. Dye and finishing operations in Chinese textile factories often use chemicals banned by the EPA in the United States decades ago. The federal government does not inspect fabrics or sewn products imported into the United States for substances federal regulatory agencies routinely looked for in domestic manufacturing facilities. Formaldehyde is one of the chemicals banned in US textile operations in 20th century yet is used in foreign fabrics.
Chinese factories have been the source of lead paint in children’s toys and tainted dog food in the past. Companies who import from China often find raw materials used in Chinese factories are often substituted without notice to the US purchaser and are not in compliance with specifications. In most cases US companies, if they discover the substitution, simply send the out of specification goods on to retail stores. Once the goods are in the US it is almost impossible to return the products to the Chinese factory. Forget legal recourse in Chinese courts.
If the federal government is really interested in the health of its citizens, why aren’t the goods imported from China inspected for the hazardous substances banned in US manufactured products? Fauci received $40 billion of Covid money for testing? Why no tests of masks?
Dust masks are very beneficial for people who are working or playing in dusty environments. After I have been sawing up a bunch of wood on my table saw or mowing down a bunch of weeds with a brush trimmer and I forget to wear a dust mask I usually end up hacking up for much of the following night and maybe even the next day. And I am always chastising myself... why didn’t I wear a dust mask?
But dust masks are far more effective at stopping dust than most of the pathetic face coverings people are currently wearing. And viral particulate is hundreds or thousands of times smaller than dust particles. The masks do almost nothing beneficial in a normal environment and as the article states they carry their own health risks. These mask mandates are utter stupidity and make our society look like a bunch of buffoons. And I actually consider that a benefit... sometimes we forget that a large percentage of the people around us are half wits. And this constant reminder is something that helps us not to take them seriously.
“... only real way to do that is to get vaccinated against it...” Did you forget your “/S” tag?
LOL! I saw the original the other day. This must be the new improved updated version.
“Worst thing about masks is that people think they are preventing covid 19 infection when the only real way to do that is to get vaccinated against it.”
Hahaha! That’s a good one!!! Are you here thru Thursday? Any matinee acts?
I used to do the same when we were in Florida with my riding lawn mower. But masking up in FLA in the summer (or most of the year)........... That would suck.
Masks don’t work period
No, sir. And I’m not the first person to have said that.
And you will NOT be the last to say it either. :-}
Does not prevent infection...just lowers the risk of dying...
It is like the flu shot...
Not a real vaccine. like smallpox
