Many countries across the globe utilized medical and non-medical facemasks as non-pharmaceutical intervention for reducing the transmission and infectivity of coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19). Although, scientific evidence supporting facemasks’ efficacy is lacking, adverse physiological, psychological and health effects are established. Is has been hypothesized that facemasks have compromised safety and efficacy profile and should be avoided from use. The current article comprehensively summarizes scientific evidences with respect to wearing facemasks in the COVID-19 era, providing prosper information for public health and decisions making.
The study concludes (emphasis added):
The existing scientific evidences challenge the safety and efficacy of wearing facemask as preventive intervention for COVID-19. The data suggest that both medical and non-medical facemasks are ineffective to block human-to-human transmission of viral and infectious disease such SARS-CoV-2 and COVID-19, supporting against the usage of facemasks. Wearing facemasks has been demonstrated to have substantial adverse physiological and psychological effects. These include hypoxia, hypercapnia, shortness of breath, increased acidity and toxicity, activation of fear and stress response, rise in stress hormones, immunosuppression, fatigue, headaches, decline in cognitive performance, predisposition for viral and infectious illnesses, chronic stress, anxiety and depression. Long-term consequences of wearing facemask can cause health deterioration, developing and progression of chronic diseases and premature death. Governments, policy makers and health organizations should utilize prosper and scientific evidence-based approach with respect to wearing facemasks, when the latter is considered as preventive intervention for public health.

But,but two masks are better. Right? Riiiight.
Shout it from every mountaintop!
Let the Rams Horn blow!
I asked my doctor if he had done the same with his mask to measure the CFU's. He said that he hadn't seen any data on that.
The bottom like is IMHO it ain't good to breathe in your own CO2. That is for plants to do.
FWIW, this is not a Stanford study, it is an online opinion piece by an exercise therapist with a doctorate in Philosophy at the Palo Alto VA hospital.
And waddya bet all those “smart” Stanford students are walking around with masks.
Because they were told to by another “smart” expert.
Turns out co2 is bad to breathe in.
very poor writing... probably not native English speakers.
Lots of information collected. Did they actually DO anything?
Because it would be a career-ending move for an actual Stanford researcher to release a study so out of step with the prevailing zeitgeist.
After spending five hours wearing a mask as a guest of Our Favorite Airline last Friday, my sinuses are still in rough shape today. There is no doubt they lead to bacterial infection - even Fauci said so before it became profitable to switch his opinion.
“The CDC concluded that cloth masks and medical procedure masks substantially reduce exposure from infected wearers and reduce exposure of uninfected wearers...”
The CDC is full of crap.
‘it is an online opinion piece by an exercise therapist with a doctorate in Philosophy at the Palo Alto VA hospital.’
the author of the article has a PhD in Clinical Exercise and Pulmonary Rehabilitation and he is expostulating about the long term respiratory effects of impeding our only possible breathing method by wearing woven cloth fibers over our mouths and noses; is there something wrong with a respiratory expert discussing respiration...?
also were you trying a little trick with the ‘doctorate in Philosphy’ bit to describe a PhD...?
Here is the research study referenced in the article:

But why stop at only two masks?
Fallacy, “Keep wearing your damn masks and never remove them!”
That’s why I always got dizzy making out in the back seat of the car with the windows rolled up. Too much CO2.
“FWIW, this is not a Stanford study, it is an online opinion piece by an exercise therapist with a doctorate in Philosophy at the Palo Alto VA hospital.”
It’s worth a lot. Misrepresentation shouldn’t be tolerated.
... and they aren't going anywhere any time soon. Because they aren't about health.

They found that out during the Spanish Flu pandemic 100 years ago. Isn’t it funny how the truth doesn’t change?
