After 4 YEARS of wearing a COVID MASK, millions of Americans are now mentally and physically IMPAIRED, suffering brain fog, disease and immune system deficiencies

 Take note of the read on link of this article and is could well be another post that is chosen for removal due to community guidelines ....

+++++++++++++

Four years ago, most people had no idea what Covid-19 could bring, and so plenty of common sense, logic and even scientific basis flew out the window when trying to prevent ourselves from catching it, or worse, dying from it. 

We were all lied to about almost everything, but many of us caught on to those lies early on, especially when it came to the vaccines and the mask wearing. First off, you simply can’t breathe properly with a Covid mask on, of any kind, and there’s plenty of science (we’re talking over 150 studies) to back up the many BAD health outcomes that come from wearing a Covid face diaper regularly.

Pay it forward 4 years now, and some germophobic fanatics are STILL wearing their Covid face diapers 24/7/365, even when they are alone in the car, or walking outside alone. It’s insanity on top of insanity, but you see it all around you every day. These folks never read REAL science about the dangers of wearing these masks all the time. For instance, not only do the masks breed bacteria in the mouth, throat and lungs, but they limit proper oxygen intake, while recycling what you already breathed in and used. This is very bad folks. Follow the bouncing ball...<<<Read More>>>...

COVID-19 mask mandates RETURN in U.S. hospitals amid spread of JN.1 variant

 MORE MEDIA BS TO SCARE THE WITLESS AND THE SLEEPERS ....

+++++++++++++++++++++++

Hospitals across the U.S. are reinstating Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19) mask mandates as the JN.1 variant becomes the dominant strain spreading throughout the country.

Medical facilities in some East Coast states – Wisconsin, Illinois, Massachusetts, New York and Delaware – have all reinstated face covering rules, mandating that people wear them in certain medical settings.

In one example, the New York City Health and Hospitals Corporation (NYC Health + Hospitals) announced the return of mask mandates at its hospitals. "Due to an uptick in respiratory illnesses like COVID-19, flu & RSV in our communities & our hospital, we must return to mandatory masking," the hospital operator wrote on X. "Please wear a mask when you visit us."

A separate NYC Health + Hospitals post also announced the return of "mandatory masking" at the Jacobi Medical Center in the Bronx. The mask mandate was brought about by "the prevalence of COVID-19 in our communities," the post added.

UMass Memorial Medical Center in Worcester, Massachusetts also confirmed that mask mandates for staff members would return on Jan. 2 and last for a month. However, patients and visitors won't be mandated to mask up. A spokesperson for the hospital said after the month-long mandate, the necessity of masks in the hospital "will be reevaluated based on current trends."

The Mass General Brigham health system in the Bay State also announced the return of mask mandates, saying in a statement that the policies "are based on the current respiratory illness rates in our communities."....<<<Read More>>>....

N95 masks expose wearers to dangerous levels of toxic cancer- and seizure-causing compounds, study finds

The National Institutes of Health (NIH) has re-shared a study emphasizing the fact that wearing an N95 face mask for any reason can expose wearers to dangerous levels of deadly chemicals.

Researchers from Jeonbuk National University in South Korea evaluated two different types of disposable medical-grade masks, as well as several types of reusable cotton masks, of the sort worn during the Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19) "pandemic." They discovered that the chemicals released by these masks occurred at levels eight times the recommended safety limit for toxic volatile organic compounds (TVOCs).

The inhalation of TVOCs is linked to health problems like headache and nausea in the short term, and organ damage and even cancer in the long term. The side effects of masking up are much worse than the diseases people who wear them aim to prevent, in other words...<<<Read More>>>....

Were masks in hospitals a waste of time? Hated NHS policy made 'no difference' to Covid infection rates, study finds

 Masks made 'no discernible difference' to Covid transmission rates in hospitals, new research suggests.Infection rates didn’t soar when mask mandates were removed in NHS facilities during the middle of an Omicron surge.

Experts today said the findings did not mean face coverings are ‘worthless’.

But they called for ‘rational and proportionate’ masking policies in hospitals during future Covid flare-ups because the benefits are ‘at best, modest’.

Governments around the world — including the UK — made it mandatory (ALID Comment: in Legalese means you have a choice. Funny that ) to wear a face covering in indoor public spaces...<<<Read More>>>...

The mask mandates did nothing. Will any lessons be learned?

The most rigorous and comprehensive analysis of scientific studies conducted on the efficacy of masks for reducing the spread of respiratory illnesses — including Covid-19 — was published late last month. Its conclusions, said Tom Jefferson, the Oxford epidemiologist who is its lead author, were unambiguous.

"There is just no evidence that they" — masks — "make any difference," he told the journalist Maryanne Demasi. "Full stop."

But, wait, hold on. What about N-95 masks, as opposed to lower-quality surgical or cloth masks?

"Makes no difference — none of it," said Jefferson.

What about the studies that initially persuaded policymakers to impose mask mandates?

"They were convinced by nonrandomized studies, flawed observational studies."

What about the utility of masks in conjunction with other preventive measures, such as hand hygiene, physical distancing or air filtration?

"There's no evidence that many of these things make any difference."

These observations don't come from just anywhere. Jefferson and 11 colleagues conducted the study for Cochrane, a British nonprofit that is widely considered the gold standard for its reviews of health care data. The conclusions were based on 78 randomized controlled trials, six of them during the Covid pandemic, with a total of 610,872 participants in multiple countries. And they track what has been widely observed in the United States: States with mask mandates fared no better against Covid than those without.

No study — or study of studies — is ever perfect. Science is never absolutely settled. What's more, the analysis does not prove that proper masks, properly worn, had no benefit at an individual level. People may have good personal reasons to wear masks, and they may have the discipline to wear them consistently. Their choices are their own.

But when it comes to the population-level benefits of masking, the verdict is in: Mask mandates were a bust. Those skeptics who were furiously mocked as cranks and occasionally censored as "misinformers" for opposing mandates were right. The mainstream experts and pundits who supported mandates were wrong. In a better world, it would behoove the latter group to acknowledge their error, along with its considerable physical, psychological, pedagogical and political costs....<<<Read More>>>...

Massive Peer-Reviewed Mask Study Shows ‘Little To No Difference’ In Preventing ‘Covid’ and Flu Infection

 A massive international research collaboration that analyzed several dozen rigorous studies focusing on “physical interventions” against COVID-19 and influenza found that they provide little to no protection against infection or illness rates.

The study, published in the peer-reviewed Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, is the strongest science to date refuting the basis for mask mandates worldwide.

And of course, the CDC still recommends masking in areas with “high” rates of transmission (fewer than 4% of US counties, as Just the News notes), along with indoor masking in areas with “medium” rates of transmission (27%).

Masks are still required in educational institutions in Democratic strongholds such as New York, New Jersey, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, Washington and California, according to the Daily Mail. Boston Public Schools denied its “temporary masking protocol” in early January was a “mandate,” following a public letter against the policy by student Enrique Abud Evereteze. South Korea is still requiring masks on public transport and in medical facilities after dropping COVID mandates in most indoor settings, including gyms, Monday, Reuters reported....<<<Read More>>>....

Masks Never Went Away – Now they’re coming back Big-time

Masks never went away. They should have, of course, because there was never any evidence that they did any good at all though there was plenty of evidence that they caused massive amounts of harm to those wearing them and to babies and small children who, instead of seeing human faces, saw scary eyes and faces covered in masks.

Masks never went away because compliant, conforming, collaborating idiots ignored the medical and scientific evidence proving that they (like the covid-19 jabs) did no good but much harm and obeyed the Government advisors, mixed celebrities and assorted members of the royal family, and kept on wearing them.

Now, governments are advising citizens to start wearing masks if they go outside with a cold or the flu. It is, so the insane conspirators claim, the non-wearing of face masks which is threatening the health service. They are presumably unaware that GPs appear to have downed stethoscopes and gone on permanent holiday somewhere warm (leaving patients with little alternative but to try to call an ambulance or to make their way to hospital) and equally unaware that union leaders are organising NHS strikes which are, I believe, precipitating a population-culling programme of genocide. Just why strike organisers haven’t been arrested for inspiring an apparently coordinated programme of national manslaughter is a mystery only the conspirators can answer. Why is it acceptable for health professionals to abandon their responsibilities and to refuse to provide treatment for those in desperate need?

In the old, sensible, pre-madness days, people were wisely advised to stay at home, indoors, and to keep warm and away from other people, if they had a cold or the flu.

Such wise advice is, apparently, now considered passé.

As is the advice (also eminently sensible) to cover your mouth and nose with your handkerchief (or a hand) if you sneeze or cough....<<<Read More>>>....

Nature Has Provided the Perfect Air Filtration System and Face Masks Render It Ineffective

Mask Usefulness Myth: Nature has already given us an air filtration system that is optimised for our bodies and for respiration. Fooling around with it is lunacy. And the only masks we should be wearing, particularly kids, are for Carnaval or Halloween!

The mask narrative is taking off again in many geographies. Given how coordinated it is in the media, one doesn’t need to be a “conspiracy theorist” to see it is being orchestrated and timed by a dark force, either influencing public health authorities or within public health leadership, possibly a combination of both.

Is it political? Is it a collective dystopia? Is it corruption? It doesn’t really matter … it’s a dark force not bringing positive to our world. We need to fight it with all our soul as ultimately it is uselessly destroying the fabric of our community and – more importantly – our children’s health – mental and physical – and development.

One can understand that people would trust their doctors on vaccine-induced immunity versus natural immunity (Natural immunity is much better!). Immunity is a complex topic, not easily accessible, and prevalent but invisible. But it is utterly incomprehensible that people continue to believe that masks work, notably simply given that: masks haven’t stopped the pandemic at any moment in time during this pandemic
they experience the flow in and out, and are fully aware that the virus can come in and out on the sides
the discomfort for the vast majority of the population who are absolutely not at risk is an enormous toll on society, and on children in particular

All the signs are there that masks are ineffective, and that they are possibly unhealthy: headaches, rashes…and continued infections.

Instincts and reflexes of self-preservation – we once had – are being eroded … possibly by technology, certainly by nudging and scare tactics. Self-preservation, sense of observation, the experience of reality… all tell us masks are utterly useless in the general population and are possibly dangerous. But many are oblivious. Worse, some have become religious about masks, cult-like going as far as changing their social media picture!? … Many are using masks as a way to self-importance, to virtue signalling; this has nothing to do with saving lives....<<<Read More>>>....

Plastics Used in Face Masks Have Been Found in Patients’ Lungs

[The Expose]: Some of the microscopic plastic fragments and fibres discovered – in patients undergoing surgery whose lung tissue they sampled – were two millimetres long.

The research used samples of healthy lung tissue from next to the lung region targeted for surgery. It analysed particles as small as 0.003mm in size and used spectroscopy to identify plastic types.  It also used control samples to account for the level of background contamination.

The plastic dust and microscopic debris comprise the same plastics used to manufacture the ubiquitous surgical masks worn by hundreds of millions of people around the world as mandated by governments to halt the Covid “pandemic.”

The material most commonly used to make these masks is PP.  PP fabric is made from a “thermoplastic” polymer, meaning that it’s easy to work with and shape at high temperatures.

Blue surgical masks can also be made of polystyrene, polycarbonate, polyethylene, or polyester, all of which are types of fabrics derived from thermoplastic polymers.

Disposable blue masks are to be found littering almost every city street in the developed world after, in some places, two years of Covid mandates ruled that masks should be worn in most indoor environments much of the time. Healthy adults, children, the immunocompromised, and the elderly have all been subject to mask mandates.

Microplastics were detected in human blood in March 2022, showing the particles can travel around the human body and may become embedded in organs. The impact on health is still to be determined.

“Our study is the first indication that we have polymer particles in our blood – ​it’s a breakthrough result,” said Prof Dick Vethaak, an ecotoxicologist at Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam in the Netherlands.  “We also know in general that babies and young children are more vulnerable to chemical and particle exposure,” he said. “That worries me a lot.”

A further study published on 5 April found specific types of harm – cell death, allergic response, and damage to cell walls – were caused by the levels of microplastics that people ingest.  The researchers are concerned because microplastics cause damage to human cells in the laboratory at the levels known to be eaten by people via their food....<<<Read More>>>...

Public Health Child Abuse: Masks, fear and harmful vaccines

 [SOTT]: As Stephen Petty, certified professional engineer, industrial hygienist and safety professional, points out in this short 11-minute podcast, the truth about masks and the Plandemic is slowly leaking out. However, since mainstream media are not universally covering these stories, it is incumbent on us to ensure that our friends and family are informed.

January 2, 2022, Dr. Scott Gottlieb, who had served as the commissioner of the Food and Drug Administration until 2019 and is now a special partner at Pfizer, was interviewed on Face the Nation. When asked about cloth masks, Gottlieb said they "aren't going to provide a lot of protection, that's the bottom line. This is an airborne illness. It could protect better through droplet transmission ... but not something like this coronavirus."

Despite documentation from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention as of January 26, 2022 that just 770 children aged 17 and under had died in two years, between 2020 and 2022, from COVID-19 — 0.00023369% of the U.S. population — Gottlieb continues to promote the idea that COVID-19 may be a serious threat to young children...<<<Read More>>>....

Mask Asphyxiation Disease “M.A.D.” now sweeping across America and the World

 [Natural News]: Hypercapnia occurs when CO2 levels become elevated in the body. This happens when we rebreathe the gaseous waste air coming out of our mouths and noses, imposing harmful and dangerous effects on the mind and body. Rebreathing CO2 increases your blood pressure and leads to rapid heart rate, chest pain, confusion, twitches, headaches, fatigue, panic attacks and mass formation psychosis. Once this becomes perpetual, organ damage and asphyxiation probability increases. About two hundred million Americans are suffering from this relatively new syndrome resulting from being deprived of proper amounts of oxygen. It’s slow suffocation, and the Covid masks are to blame for all of it, whether homemade or N95.

Asphyxiation occurs when carbon dioxide interferes with the oxygenation of tissue. The long-term end result is death. Perpetual mask-wearing zombies are limiting the oxygen that enters the lungs, thus reducing oxygen in their blood, and therefore diminishing the oxygen and nutrients that are carried to body tissues, including the brain. Research reveals that prolonged use of Covid masks, homemade or N95, can cause anywhere from five percent on up to 20 percent loss of oxygen.

Go out in public right now and you will notice one major concurrent theme that is different from when Covid began. People wearing masks are acting very strange, erratic, anxious, and aggressive. Some people are having panic attacks in stores, fighting to get to products first. Others are having vertigo and double vision attacks while driving, sometimes causing “vaccidents” (from the combination of vaccine and mask side effects).

Concentration is being slowed as well as their reaction time. They are suffering from MAD – Mask Asphyxiation Disease. Road rage is much more common now since the vaccine and mask apocalypse. People’s blood chemistry has changed, according to doctors and scientists, which has led to changes in level of consciousness. Oxygen deprivation by prolonged use of Covid masks is causing permanent neurological damage in some people, according to German neurologists....<<<Read More>>>...

Court strikes down outdoor mask mandate

[David Icke]: An outdoor mask mandate in France’s Paris region has been struck down by a judge, who called the rule a major violation of citizens’ liberties just two weeks after it was reimposed.

The Paris Administrative Tribunal ruled against the masking policy on Thursday, according to AFP, rejecting the mandate as “an excessive, disproportionate and inappropriate infringement… of personal freedom.” The ruling applies not only to the city of Paris and its 2.1 million residents, but to seven other departments in the broader Paris region, or some 12 million people in total.

The outdoor mask rule was struck down less than a month after officials revived it in late December, citing the rapid spread of the Omicron variant, which has helped to drive a spike in Covid-19 cases across Paris in recent days. Though all of France has experienced a similar surge, Paris has seen its infections grow to some 3,899 infections per 100,000 residents over the past seven days, according to Reuters, compared to 3,002 per 100,000 for the whole country....<<<Read More>>>...

The Only Study Claiming Surgical Masks Work Has Just Fallen Apart

[Humans Are Free]: The main study that media outlets and the government used to prove that surgical masks are effective has just completely fallen apart.

In the initially published piece, the authors did not post the raw number of seropositive cases in their study, preventing anyone from computing standard statistical analyses of their results. Many experts also objected to the number of statistical regressions run to pull signals out of their very complex intervention.

Recently, the authors finally released their code and data.

Following the release of their data, statistical analyses were able to be conducted. There were 1,106 symptomatic individuals confirmed seropositive in the control group and 1,086 such individuals in the treatment group. The total difference between the two groups was miniscule: only 20 cases out of over 340,000 individuals over a span of 8 weeks.

In a post by one author who ran an analysis following the release of the data, he described several other issues with the study:

“The intervention was highly complex and included a mask promotion campaign and education about other mitigation measures including social distancing. Moreover, individuals were only added to the study if they consented to allow the researchers to visit and survey their households.

“There was a large differential between the control and treatment groups here, with 95% consenting in the treatment group but only 92% consenting in control. This differential alone could wash away the difference in observed cases. Finally, symptomatic seropositivity is a crude measure of covid as the individuals could have been infected before the trial began.”...<<<Read More>>>...

Comprehensive Review of Face Mask Studies Finds No Evidence of Benefit

[David Icke]: The Cato Institute has published its latest working paper, a critical review of the evidence for face masks to prevent the spread of COVID-19. Entitled “Evidence for Community Cloth Face Masking to Limit the Spread of SARS‐​CoV‑2: A Critical Review” and written by Ian Liu, Vinay Prasad and Jonathan Darrow, the paper is an admirably thorough and balanced overview of the published evidence on the efficacy of face masks. While even-handedly acknowledging and summarising the studies that show benefit, the authors’ overall conclusion is that: “More than a century after the 1918 influenza pandemic, examination of the efficacy of masks has produced a large volume of mostly low- to moderate-quality evidence that has largely failed to demonstrate their value in most settings.”

At 61 pages in length, however, not everyone will make it through to the end, so here’s a TL;DR, with some key quotes to serve as a handy overview. The paper is, of course, worth reading in full, though.

Here’s the authors’ own summary from the abstract:

The use of cloth facemasks in community settings has become an accepted public policy response to decrease disease transmission during the COVID-19 pandemic. Yet evidence of facemask efficacy is based primarily on observational studies that are subject to confounding and on mechanistic studies that rely on surrogate endpoints (such as droplet dispersion) as proxies for disease transmission. 

The available clinical evidence of facemask efficacy is of low quality and the best available clinical evidence has mostly failed to show efficacy, with fourteen of sixteen identified randomised controlled trials comparing face masks to no mask controls failing to find statistically significant benefit in the intent-to-treat populations. Of sixteen quantitative meta-analyses, eight were equivocal or critical as to whether evidence supports a public recommendation of masks, and the remaining eight supported a public mask intervention on limited evidence primarily on the basis of the precautionary principle. 

Although weak evidence should not preclude precautionary actions in the face of unprecedented events such as the COVID-19 pandemic, ethical principles require that the strength of the evidence and best estimates of amount of benefit be truthfully communicated to the public....<<<Read More>>>...

Areas with mask mandates seeing highest number of covid deaths

[Natural News]: ) In every place where wearing a mask is “required” by the government, the number of people dying with the Wuhan coronavirus (Covid-19) is substantially higher compared to places where people have returned back to living their normal, pre-covid lives.

In Oregon, for instance, where wearing a mask is something of a fetish, the number of “active cases” of the Chinese Virus is skyrocketing. Since August 24 when Gov. Kate Brown reinstated a statewide mask mandate, Wuhan Flu cases have soared by 73 percent.

“Cases and hospitalizations are at a record high,” Brown admitted in a statement while also praising masks for being really progressive.

“Masks are a quick and simple tool we can immediately deploy to protect ourselves and our families, and quickly help stop further spread of COVID-19,” she added without providing a shred of proof to back these claims.

The situation is similar in South Korea, another mask haven. Despite 99 percent mask compliance, Fauci Flu cases in the Asian country have seen record highs for the past three months straight.

Singapore is also seeing a spike in new cases thanks to its mask mandate. That country is on day 527 of a continuous mask mandate and 82 percent of its population is now “fully vaccinated,” and yet sicknesses and deaths are higher than they have ever been since the beginning of the plandemic.

“Pretty incredible feat of media gaslighting that no one is asking politicians and experts how they can continue justifying mandates,” tweeted a person who shared these and other statistics for the world to see....<<<Read More>>>...

Doctor: “Those Who Won’t Wear A Mask Don’t Care Who They Kill!”

 Dr Peter English is clearly paid large sums of money to lie through his psychotic teeth. What a first rate moron and utter bullshitter. 

There are literally dozens of reports by doctors more reputable than this piece of paid garbage will ever be, that state categorically masks are useless for stopping viruses. 

It's quite amazing that these paid morons are appearing out of the woodwork when our puppet rebel government are close to forcing the gullible to wear useless face nappies again. 

[Richie Allen]:The former chairman of the BMA Public Health Committee said today that those who refuse to wear masks are “callous” and “don’t care who they kill.”

Dr. Peter English was appearing on Ian Collins Talk Radio Show. He said:

“Facemasks are effective at preventing you from infecting others. So all these people who go on the tube saying “I’m not gonna wear a mask,” what they’re saying is, I don’t care who I kill if I happen to be infectious without knowing it.” It’s callous and I think people ought to be required to wear masks when case levels are above a threshold.

He’s right you know. I was on a bus this morning. There was a guy sitting opposite me. He had no mask on. He was muttering away to himself. I leaned over and said “Sorry mate, did you say something there?” He replied; “Yes pal. I was just saying that I’m not gonna wear a mask and I don’t care who I kill if I happen to be infectious without knowing it.”

“You’re very callous” said I.

In a tetchy exchange, presenter Collins pointed out the need to balance draconian and arbitrary measures with people’s freedoms. He also reminded English that most people don’t become ill with covid and that the average age of a covid related fatality is 83. He was wasting his time. I learned one immutable truth throughout the course of my career in broadcasting.

You cannot win an argument with an idiot.

Public health trials show events packed with mask-free attendees are as safe as eating out, shopping

 [Natural News]: Early trials done in the U.K. have suggested that events with mask-less attendees and devoid of social distancing are as safe as eating at a restaurant or going shopping. The findings by a technical group allayed earlier fears that such large gatherings could result in COVID-19 outbreaks. The group emphasized that health and safety measures helped lower the risk of pathogen transmission in these gatherings.

The Events Research Program (ERP) looked at a number of ways to reopen large venues by testing out measures at a number of events. An April 19 government statement said the ERP “aims to examine the risk of [COVID-19] transmission from attendance at events.” It added that the program explored “ways to enable people to attend a range of events safely” – with an emphasis on testing and non-pharmaceutical interventions.

The ERP implemented COVID-19 measures in a number of pilot events, including the May 15 Football Association (FA) Cup Final. Around 21,000 football fans – all devoid of masks – attended Wembley Stadium to witness Leicester City win against Chelsea. The crowd at Wembley was the biggest in the U.K. in more than a year. Furthermore, the ERP also put these measures in place during the May 11 Brit Awards 2021 ceremony which saw 4,000 attendees.

COVID-19 test results from attendees five days after the events showed a minimal risk of transmission However, the ERP clarified that this would definitely be possible as long as health guidelines such as pre-attendance testing, temperature checks and good ventilation of indoor spaces were followed. The program’s findings also downplayed concerns by scientists that such events could trigger COVID-19 outbreaks.

A U.K. government source described the ERP results as “very encouraging.” They added: It will help make the case that these large events are not inherently more risky than other parts of the hospitality sector. [Also,] it shows that there are things that you can do to make these settings as safe as other daily activities.” The group’s findings will then be sent to government ministers....<<<Read More>>>...

NHS hospitals warned over infection risks of masks and respirators brought in during pandemic

 [David Icke]: NHS hospitals have been warned about the risk of wearing the wrong kind of face mask during surgeries following a number of serious infections.

Respirator masks have been acquired by the millions during the coronavirus pandemic but sometimes have been deployed in inappropriate settings, according to a patient safety alert issued by NHS England.


Masks of the FFP3 type which have exhalation valves do not filter the air being expelled, and nor do the powered hoods (PAPRs) provided to medics who cannot achieve a tight seal with the ordinary masks, the alert said.

The document is a warning to any staff involved in “surgical and invasive procedures” or undertaking a task that requires sterility.

It follows reports that condensation dripping from exhalation valves has led to one “extensive” brain infection and three heart infections in surgical patients, NHS England said.

It added: “These incident reports and feedback from services suggest that the risks of valved respirators and PAPRs for surgical and invasive procedures is not well recognised, and that their use may have become routine in some theatre environments.”

Contamination of a body part being operated on can lead to disability or death, regulators warned.

Hospital bosses should introduce clear labelling in areas where FFP3 masks are stocked to inform staff of the situations in which they should not be used, they added. The valved versions should also be removed from areas where they are not needed.

Big Pharma’s Worst Nightmare: Global Rebellion Against Fake ‘Vaccine’ Mandates Explodes

 [David Icke]: Since coronavirus pandemic lockdowns were implemented by many governments in 2020, people around the world have held largely peaceful protests against unprecedented social distancing restrictions that are devastating global economies and ruining people’s lives.Now, faced with being ordered to obey new laws that require them to be injected with COVID-19 vaccines in order to enter public spaces or hold a job, on July 24, 2021—World Freedom Day—hundreds of thousands of people of all ages took to the streets in Australia, United Kingdom, France, Italy, Greece and Germany to publicly challenge oppressive public health laws.

The messages on the signs they held were diverse but they were united in pushing back against government overreach. The brave determination of people, in democracies around the world who are publicly defending civil liberties—freedom of thought, speech, conscience and assembly—and the human right to informed consent to medical risk taking, demonstrates that the spirit of freedom lives in the hearts and minds of people everywhere. Both those who gather in the public squares of cities big and small and those who are watching are inspired by this commitment to defending liberty....<<<Read More>....

Study finds high carbon dioxide levels in kids who wear face masks, concludes: 'Children should not be forced to wear face masks'

[SOTT]: Many concerned parents are asking, "Should children wear masks?" A new scientific study may provide an answer. The newly released study found that kids shouldn't be forced to wear face masks because they can inhale unacceptable carbon dioxide levels after only three minutes of mask-wearing.

The findings, which were were published in The Journal of the American Medical Association, examined the carbon dioxide levels of 45 children in good health, ranging in age from 6-17, and with an average age of 10 years old. The clinical trial, titled "Experimental Assessment of Carbon Dioxide Content in Inhaled Air With or Without Face Masks in Healthy Children," claimed that the case for governments to mandate schoolchildren to wear masks is "weak."

The authors of the study noted that normal open air has approximately 0.04% carbon dioxide by volume (400 parts per million), and the German Federal Environmental Office states that the limit for closed rooms is 0.2% (2,000 ppm), and anything higher is unacceptable, Fox News reported.

The study found that the carbon dioxide levels of children wearing masks after three minutes averaged between 13,120 and 13,910 parts per million, more than six times the maximum carbon dioxide exposure.

"This is because of the dead-space volume of the masks, which collects exhaled carbon dioxide quickly after a short time," the study said. "This carbon dioxide mixes with fresh air and elevates the carbon dioxide content of inhaled air under the mask, and this was more pronounced in this study for younger children."

The results of the clinical trial said carbon dioxide levels tended to increase the younger the children were, and a 7-year-old's levels measured at 25,000 ppm.

The researchers said that high carbon dioxide levels can lead to impairments attributable to hypercapnia, which is a buildup of carbon dioxide in your bloodstream. WebMD says acute hypercapnia can cause delirium, paranoia, depression, and confusion. Severe hypercapnia can cause hand tremors, sudden muscle jerks, seizures, headaches, nausea, vision problems, varicose veins, and a coma if left untreated.

The participating children were wearing surgical and filtering facepiece 2 (FFP2) masks. The authors noted that children wear masks in school for about 270 minutes on average, or 4.5 hours.

"We suggest that decision-makers weigh the hard evidence produced by these experimental measurements accordingly, which suggest that children should not be forced to wear face masks," the researchers concluded....<<<Read The Original Article Here>>>....
