Mask Study Published By NIH Suggests N95 Covid Masks May Expose Wearers To Dangerous Level Of Toxic Compounds Linked To Seizures And Cancer
The Daily Mail ^ | 08/27/23 | Emily Joshu

The surgical N95 mask has been held up as the gold standard when it comes to protecting against Covid.

But a study quietly re-shared by the National Institutes of Health in spring suggests the tight-fitting mask may expose users to dangerous levels of toxic chemicals.

Researchers from Jeonbuk National University in South Korea looked at two types of disposable medical-grade masks, as well as several reusable cotton masks.

The study found that the chemicals released by these masks had eight times the recommended safety limit of toxic volatile organic compounds (TVOCs).

Inhaling TVOCs has been linked to health issues like headaches and nausea, while prolonged and repeated has been linked to organ damage and even cancer.

Another conspiracy theory coming true.

And still...after TRILLION$ spent on Covid, not a single study about the efficacy of masks in preventing its’ spread.

Well, a few months ago there was a published study, IIRC from Europe, that found that masks cause brain damage and do so very quickly.

When required, I always wore the mask below my nose.

Never wore one effectively.

Lol. You may as well try to stop mosquitos with a chain link fence as trying to stop viruses with an N95 mask. Lolol

“Just shut up and put on your mask!”

We’ll be hearing that any day now.

A comment I’ve picked up is:

“Your mask is so awesome that if I pee through it the resulting cool, clear, spring water will be perfectly safe for you to drink, right?”

I used a folded handkerchief as it
Allowed fresh air around my chin.
Ticked off the Supervision but
I could Breathe!

Here’s the research publication:

Measuring the quantity of harmful volatile organic compounds inhaled through masks

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10112860/

Takeaways:

1. When the mask is first taken out of its pouch it has a very high levels of VOC’s.

2. Leave it out for a while and VOC’s drop to acceptable levels.

3. When it gets hot VOC levels are high.

If you do the math, you can just as well keep vehicles from driving onto your property by erecting yellow posts every 3 miles.

Great. Now the stuff the masks are made of are toxic to you.

If that is the case I RECOMMEND EVERY DEMOCRAT WEAR A MASK 24/7. We need to insure they are ALL 100% total Retards! Maybe they should wear TWO just to be sure!!!!

When required, I found a mask that was black with little glittery rhinestones that was more like netting than anything. I liked it!

I’ll keep it as a reminder of the world getting the Terminal Stupids overnight.

I couldn’t breathe in the other ones, so I mostly didn’t wear them unless I got glared at or told It Had To Be.

‘Face

;o]
