Twenty Reasons Mandatory Face Masks Are Unsafe, Ineffective, and Immoral

Nine
Potential and Proven Dangers to Muzzling Yourself
1. Cavities: New
York dentists are reporting that half their patients are
suffering decaying teeth, receding gum lines and seriously sour
breath from wearing masks. “We’re seeing inflammation in
people’s gums that have been healthy forever, and cavities in
people who have never had them before,” Dr. Rob Ramondi told FOX
News.
2. Facial Deformities: Masking
children triggers mouth breathing which as been shown to cause
“long, narrow faces, narrow mouths, high palatal vaults, dental
malocclusion, gummy smiles, and many other unattractive facial
features,” according to the Journal
of General Dentistry.
3. Acne Vulgaris: Moisture
and germs collecting in the mask cause “facial skin lesions,
irritant dermatitis… or worsening acne” (according to Public
Health Ontario) which stresses the immune system, can lead to
permanent scarring and has been linked to depression and
suicidal thoughts (according to the Journal
of Dermatologic Clinics).
Children also develop impetigo, a bacterial infection that
produces red sores and can lead to kidney damage (according to
the Mayo
Clinic).
4. Increased Risk of COVID-19: “Mask
use by the general public could be associated with a theoretical
elevated risk of COVID-19 through… self-contamination,” states
Public Health Ontario in Wearing
Masks in Public and COVID-19.
“By wearing a mask, the exhaled viruses will not be able to
escape and will concentrate in the nasal passages, enter the
olfactory nerves and travel into the brain,” theorizes
nationally recognized board-certified neurosurgeon, Dr. Russell
Blaylock, MD (in an article at The
Centre for Research on Globalization).
5. Bacterial Pneumonia: At
an Oklahoma Press Conference, Dr. James Meehan, MD testified:
“Reports coming from my colleagues all over the world are
suggesting that the bacterial pneumonias are on the rise” as a
result of moisture collecting in face masks.
6. Immune Suppressing: Masks
are often worn by criminals trying to hide their identity while
perpetuating an offence (theft, violence, rape, murder, etc.).
They produce subconscious anxiety and fear. Fear and anxiety
activate the fight-or-flight nervous system which down-regulates
the immune system, as shown in a study by the American
Psychological Association.
7. Germophobia: Masks
create an irrational fear of germs and a false sense of
protection from disease, leading to antisocial (or even hostile)
behavior towards those not wearing a mask. (See the paper in
the Journal
of Obsessive-Compulsive and Related Disorders titled
“COVID-19, obsessive-compulsive disorder and invisible life
forms that threaten the self”).
8. Toxic: Many
(if not most) masks and face coverings (including cloth) are
made with toxic and carcinogenic chemicals including fire
retardant, fiberglass, lead, NFE, phthalates, polyfluorinated
chemicals and formaldehyde that will outgas and be inhaled by
the wearer. (See “5 main hazardous chemicals in clothing from
China named” by Fashion
United).
9. Psychologically Harmful: “I
believe the real threat right now is what we’re doing to
sabotage the mental, emotional and physical health of… our
children, whose development is dependent on social interactions,
physical contact and facial expressions,” writes Dr. Joseph
Mercola of Mercola.com. “Between mask wearing and social
distancing, I fear the impact on children in particular may be
long-term, if not permanent.”
Six Proofs Masks
Do Not Reduce Infections
1. Insubstantial: A CDC-funded
review on masking in May 2020 came to the conclusion: “Although
mechanistic studies support the potential effect of hand hygiene
or face masks, evidence from 14 randomized controlled trials of
these measures did not support a substantial effect on
transmission of laboratory-confirmed influenza… None of the
household studies reported a significant reduction in secondary
laboratory-confirmed influenza virus infections in the face mask
group.” If masks can’t stop the regular flu, how can they stop
SAR-CoV-2?
2. Unreasonable: “Evidence
that masking as a source [of] control results in any material
reduction in transmission was scant, anecdotal, and, in the
overall, lacking… [and mandatory masking] is the exact opposite
of being reasonable,” ruled a hospital arbitrator in a dispute
between The Ontario Nurses’ Association and the Toronto Academic
Health Science Network.
3. Ineffective: “Oral
masks in healthy individuals are ineffective against the spread
of viral infections,” write Belgian medical doctors in an open
letter published in The
American Institute of Stress,
September 24, 2020.
4. Unsanitary: “It
has never been shown that wearing surgical face masks decreases
postoperative wound infections,” writes Göran Tunevall, M.D. in
the World
Journal of Surgery.
“On the contrary, a 50% decrease [in bacterial infection] has
been reported after omitting face masks.”
5. No Protection: “There
were 17 eligible studies.… None of the studies established a
conclusive relationship between mask ⁄ respirator use and
protection against influenza infection,” concludes a research
review in the journal Influenza
and Other Respiratory Viruses.
6. Unproven: Dutch
Minister for Medical Care, Tamara van Ark, asserted that “from a
medical perspective there is no proven effectiveness of masks”
after a review by the National Institute for Health on July 29,
2020 (according to Reuters).
Five Ways Forced
Masking is Immoral
1. Reckless: “By
making mask-wearing recommendations and policies for the general
public, or by expressly condoning the practice, governments have
both ignored the scientific evidence and done the opposite of
following the precautionary principle,” writes Denis Rancourt,
PhD in his 2020 paper Masks
Don’t Work.
2. Manipulative: Dr.
Andreas Voss, member of the World Health Organization expert
team and head of microbiology at a Dutch hospital in Nijmegen,
on July 24, 2020, told I
Am Expat that
masks were made mandatory “not because of scientific evidence,
but because of political pressure and public opinion.”
3. Fear-Mongering: “In
fact, there is no study to even suggest that it makes any sense
for healthy individuals to wear masks in public,” write Drs.
Karina Reiss, PhD and Dr. Sucharit Bakdi, MD in Corona,
False Alarm? “One
might suspect that the only political reason for enforcing the
measure is to foster fear in the population.”
4. Totalitarian: “If
you look at the history of totalitarian regimes… they all do the
same thing, which is they try to crush culture, and crush any
evidence of self-expression…” explains Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.
in an interview regarding face masks. “And what is the ultimate
vector for self-expression? It’s your facial expressions…. [Yet]
we’ve all been told to put on the burqa and be obedient.”
5. Virtue-Signaling: “Masks
are utterly useless,” testified Dr. Roger Hodkinson, a
pathologist, certified with the Royal College of Physicians and
Surgeons of Canada, at a city council meeting. “…masks are
simply virtue-signaling… It’s utterly ridiculous seeing these
unfortunate, uneducated people — I’m not saying that in a
pejorative sense — walking around like lemmings, obeying without
any knowledge base, to put the mask on their face.”
