More Bad News For Mask Wearers
Mandating children to wear facemasks for long periods of time while at school and participating in other activities is an unprecedented move, one that was put into place despite no research showing the practice is safe. It’s not simply a case of “something is better than nothing,” because the act of mask wearing comes with a risk of adverse effects.
Now that the pandemic is more than a year behind us, evidence is starting to accumulate showing that the use of face masks in children may cause more harm than good. One of the latest studies noted that the evidence base for making face masks compulsory in schoolchildren is “weak,” and looked into their effects on carbon dioxide in inhaled air.1
Masks Increase Carbon Dioxide Inhalation
Your body produces carbon dioxide (CO2) as a byproduct of cellular function.2 This odorless, colorless gas is then transported via your blood to your lungs, where it is exhaled from your body. Normally, the CO2 then dissipates into the air around you before you take another breath. In the open air, carbon dioxide typically exists at about 400 parts per million (ppm), or 0.04% by volume.
The German Federal Environmental Office set a limit of CO2 for closed rooms of 2,000 ppm, or 0.2 percent by volume. If you’re wearing a facemask, the CO2 cannot escape as it usually does and instead becomes trapped in the mask. In a study published in JAMA Pediatrics, researchers analyzed the CO2 content of inhaled air among children wearing two types of masks, as well as wearing no mask.3
Children in the study ranged in age from 6 to 17 years, with a mean age of 10.7. While no significant difference in CO2 was found between the two types of masks, there was a significant elevation when wearing masks compared to not wearing them.
CO2 in inhaled air under surgical and filtering facepiece masks came in between 13,120 ppm and 13,910 ppm, “which is higher than what is already deemed unacceptable by the German Federal Environmental Office by a factor of 6,” the researchers noted.4 Also important, this level was reached after only three minutes, while children wear masks at school for a mean of 270 minutes at a time.
Even the child who had the lowest measured CO2 level had a measurement threefold greater than the closed room CO2 limit of 0.2 percent. However, younger children appeared to have the highest CO2 values; a level of 25,000 ppm was measured from a 7-year-old wearing a facemask.5
The study attracted criticism and calls for retraction by those questioning mask risks to children, but in a thoughtful synopsis by Dr. Vinay Prasad, a hematologist-oncologist and associate professor of medicine at the University of California San Francisco, it’s noted that there are both benefits and risks to forcing children to wear masks.6
While large, empirical studies could answer the question of whether masks help or harm children, “we did literally zero of them,” Prasad said, and the CO2 study is attempting to add some clarity. He added:7
“Here is the real answer to the question of whether it’s worth it to mask kids: No one has any clue. During the last year and half, the scientific community has failed to answer these questions. Failed entirely.
We have no idea if masks work for 2-year-olds and above, 5 and above, 12 and above. No idea if they only work for some period of time. No idea if this is linked to community rates. No idea if the concerns over language loss offset the gains in reduced viral transmission, and if so, for what ages.”
Children’s Mask Complaints Could Be Caused by Elevated CO2
A German study using data from 25,930 children showed that 68% reported adverse effects from wearing facemasks.8 Among them, 29.7% reported feeling short of breath, 26.4% being dizzy and 17.9% were unwilling to move or play.9
Hundreds more experienced “accelerated respiration, tightness in chest, weakness and short-term impairment of consciousness.” Additional symptoms were also reported among the children, who wore facemasks for an average of 270 minutes a day:10
|
Irritability (60 percent) |
Headaches (53 percent) |
|
Difficulty concentrating (50 percent) |
Less happiness (49 percent) |
|
Reluctance to go to school/kindergarten (44 percent) |
Malaise (42 percent) |
|
Impaired learning (38 percent) |
Drowsiness or fatigue (37 percent) |
Signs of mild to moderate hypercapnia, which is a buildup of CO2 in your bloodstream, include shortness of breath, daytime sluggishness, headache, daytime sleepiness and anxiety.11
Hypercapnia is often associated with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), which makes it harder for you to breathe, but it can also be caused by activities that limit you from breathing fresh air, such as scuba diving or being on a ventilator.12,13 The researchers of the featured study believe, however, that the use of facemasks could lead to “impairments attributable to hypercapnia,” adding:14
“Most of the complaints reported by children can be understood as consequences of elevated carbon dioxide levels in inhaled air. This is because of the dead-space volume of the masks, which collects exhaled carbon dioxide quickly after a short time.
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 … 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.”
Nanoparticles, Pollutants Detected in Facemasks
Disposable plastic facemasks pose another risk in terms of the pollution they contain. A study by Swansea University researchers noted that 200 million disposable plastic facemasks are produced in China daily, and “improper and unregulated disposals” have led to a significant plastic pollution problem.15
The researchers submerged seven disposable facemask brands in water to simulate what happens with littering, when masks end up in waterways. Micro- and nanoscale fibers and particles and heavy metals, including lead, antimony and copper, were detected, raising significant environmental and public health concerns. According to a university news release:16
“The findings reveal significant levels of pollutants in all the masks tested — with micro/nano particles and heavy metals released into the water during all tests.
Researchers conclude this will have a substantial environmental impact and, in addition, raise the question of the potential damage to public health — warning that repeated exposure could be hazardous as the substances found have known links to cell death, genotoxicity and cancer formation.”
Not only are masks not being recycled, but their materials make them likely to persist and accumulate in the environment. Most disposable face masks contain three layers — a polyester outer layer, a polypropylene or polystyrene middle layer and an inner layer made of absorbent material such as cotton.
Polypropylene is already one of the most problematic plastics, as it’s widely produced and responsible for large waste accumulation in the environment. Leading researchers from the University of Southern Denmark and Princeton University also warned that masks could quickly become “the next plastic problem.”17
A performance study published in the June 2021 issue of Journal of Hazardous Materials18 also highlighted the little talked about fact that wearing masks poses a risk of microplastic inhalation, and reusing masks increases the risk.
The Link Between Masks and Advanced Stage Lung Cancer
A National Institutes of Health study19 published in February 2021 confirmed that when you wear a mask, most of the water vapor you would normally exhale remains in the mask, becomes condensed and is re-inhaled.20 They went so far as to suggest that wearing a moist mask and inhaling the humid air of your own breath was a good thing, because it would hydrate your respiratory tract.
But researchers from New York University (NYU) Grossman School of Medicine revealed that when oral commensals — microbes that live in your mouth — are “enriched” in the lungs, it’s associated with cancer.21
Specifically, in a study of 83 adults with lung cancer, those with advanced-stage cancer had more oral commensals in their lungs than those with early-stage cancer. Those with an enrichment of oral commensals in their lungs also had decreased survival and worsened tumor progression.
While the study didn’t look into how mask usage could affect oral commensals in your lungs, they did note, “The lower airway microbiota, whether in health or disease state, are mostly affected by aspiration of oral secretions, and the lower airway microbial products are in constant interaction with the host immune system.“22
It seems highly likely that wearing a mask would accelerate the accumulation of oral microbes in your lungs, thereby raising the question of whether mask usage could be linked to advanced stage lung cancer.
Masks Developed That Test for COVID-19
Adding further support that masking leads to an accumulation of breath droplets, which you can then re-inhale, engineers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Harvard University developed a face mask that tests such droplets for the presence of COVID-19.23
The facemasks contain tiny, freeze-dried sensors surrounded by water. When the wearer pushes a button, the water is released, hydrating the sensor, which then begins the test.
Reportedly, the mask can diagnose COVID-19 within 90 minutes and is “as sensitive as the gold standard, highly sensitive PCR tests,“24 which have been fraught with trouble since the beginning of the pandemic.
CDC Study Finds Masks in Schools Had Little Effect on COVID
If children are risking inhalation of excessive levels of CO2 to wear masks at school, what benefit are they receiving in exchange? Very little, if any, according to a CDC study that compared the incidence of COVID-19 in Georgia kindergarten through grade 5 schools that were open for in-person learning in fall 2020 with various recommended prevention strategies, such as mandatory masks and improvements to ventilation.25
The study revealed that COVID-19 incidence was 37 percent lower in schools that required teachers and staff members to use masks and 39 percent lower in schools that improved ventilation, compared to schools that did not use these strategies.26
Because the COVID-19 incidence at the schools was extremely low to begin with, even with a 37 percent reduction in incidence from staff members wearing masks, that only reduced COVID-19 incidence by about one case in the entire school. When students were masked, it also made virtually no difference. Further, ventilation led to better outcomes, reducing incidence by 39 percent.
Dilution methods, which work by diluting the number of airborne particles, include opening windows and doors or using fans. This led to a 35 percent lower incidence of COVID-19, while methods to filter airborne particles, such as using HEPA filtration systems with or without ultraviolet germicidal irradiation, led to a 48 percent lower incidence.
More States Ban Mask Mandates in Schools
While the CDC continues to recommend “universal and correct use of masks and physical distancing” in kindergarten through grade 12 schools,27 a number of states, including Texas, Iowa, South Carolina and Arkansas, are defying the CDC’s nonsensical advice and proceeding to ban mask mandates in public schools or at least make mask usage optional.28
In addition to the physical risks, experts have warned that masks are likely to be causing psychological harm to children and interfering with their development.29 All of these risks come at little benefit to children, as, one expert report noted, “Figures illustrate that the risk of death from this disease for this age group is negligible … To introduce these [compulsory face covering measures] without detailed, thorough and meticulous risk assessment, is potentially reckless.“30
Mass, peaceful protests are often effective at compelling change, so if you’re unhappy with the facemask policies at your child’s school, contact your local district and let them know.

Humans are without doubt, the most idiotic species I’ve ever encountered.
The only species that actively devolves and degenerates.
It even nearly instantly attacks its offspring, its future with toxins that can (and does) only harm the infants, with degenerate, damaging effects for the rest of their lives.
Humans are the only species I know of which is absolutely guaranteed to be extincted, by its own actions.
I’m glad I’m not human.

Well, when in doubt, look to the obvious.
So then, what do masks actually do?
Control/imposition/compliance
Mental and physical health deterioration, dehumanization, degeneration.
Extra pollution from manufacturing.
As you can see, those are “anti-life” measures.
So I’ve experienced lots of “supernatural” stuff. I gu ess this is the part where people might think I’m insane, and trust me, I am.
So I keep on having to stress this point, we’re dealing with QLIPPOTH. I’m not even kidding. Like, the actual representatives of the tree of death, a collective of hollow, soulless husks that happen to be “possessed” after they “souled out”, so to say.
Go ask the “freemasons” about that. Oh that’s right, they won’t/can’t admit that, because that’s what their institutions are for, stripping away your soul until you are possessed.

Here’s someone else who noticed the Qlippoth, like it doesn’t matter what you call it, but those aspects…
https://thefreedomarticles.com/aluminum-fluoride-glyphosate-emf-deliberate-concoction-pineal-gland/
“People have severely calcified pineal glands. I show the anatomy in some of my courses. It is very clear that the pineal gland is a receiver for higher fields of energy and translates them into thought and into controlling our immune system, our endocrine system … and so, it is astounding that the telecommunications industry has selected the frequencies out of the huge spectrum of frequencies that are absolutely destructive to our cells, and especially to the pineal gland. They couldn’t have made any better choices than 2.4 GHz … the end point when you inhale aluminum as we do from the geoengineering program, and have glyphosate in the food chain … the glyphosate and aluminum combine in the blood, in the gut and in the bloodstream to form 6 different chemical compounds where aluminum and glyphosate are hooked up together, and the end point of that compound is the pineal gland … what is needed for this compound to actually enter the brain is to open up the blood brain barrier, and the current frequencies in the wi-fi world are exactly doing that.”
There must have been an ultra intelligent group of scientists who have designed this protocol to fluoridate the drinking water, to put nanonized-aluminum in the air, to put glyphosate in the food, and then activate it – spark it with the right frequencies. It almost – it took me 20 years to figure out the perfect storm it has created – and it’s either a coincidence, which is possible (that enough dumb people made the wrong choices along the years [I’m still hoping that … is partially true]), or it’s orchestrated by a very intelligent group of destructive minds, or, what I also believe is very possible, that there’s some higher fields of consciousness that can be both tuned into the light (life-affirmative action) and can be absolutely destructive … the phenomena Adolf Hitler and others, the people that come under the influence of something absolutely dark and destructive … and I do believe it’s possible that enough scientists and politicians have come under the influence of those higher fields and are acting according to it, actually not knowing on a human level why they’re doing what they’re doing.”
And I mentioned some other very specific interactions too, that shit is NOT coincidental. There is evil anti-life shit, and it is very obvious.

Did you for instance know glyphosate’s cytotoxicity is about an order of magnitude more in the presence of “background” ionizing radiation?
I mentioned the fluoride and aluminum interaction (also compounded by EMF) earlier, relating to cAMP and ATP function, mitochondrial damage.
None of that stuff is coincidental. There are enormous amounts of these very specific sort of effects and “peculiarities” in every aspect of “freemason” society.

Hi Sir-i So like to comment to much,
Glyphosates are designed to be weed killers that quickly decompose in the soil. Most people do not eat dead weeds. The only reason it is in food is because farmers used it on their grain crops to keep the seed heads from falling off the stalks. Do not blame the product for its deliberate misuse. I will continue to use it to kill weeds in my garden but not on the vegetables or flowers.

Hi Osiris,
I do not mind your comments what I am questioning is your method. There is limited room on the COMMENTS list and every new comment pushes some other comment off the list. If you would say what you want to say in one comment instead of multiple posting you could freely say whatever you want without monopolizing the comments list and removing others.
I live in Pennsylvania where there is a large Amish population. Their beliefs tell them to avoid things modern, like electricity, cars, and basically anything invented after the mid 19th century. That is their choice but they need to have warning lights and turn signal on their horse and carriages for other peoples safety. I choose to take advantage of any invention that will help me accomplish my goals, like insecticides, hybrid seeds, rototillers, chemical fertilizers, plastic netting, and even one of those wind scarecrows to keep the deer from destroying my corn. I am sure that there are plenty of people who disagree with these practices but when I put excess vegetables out by the road for anyone to take, no-one asks if they are organic.

That’s a pretty weak point. But maybe they should, considering.
Just saying, it’s so bad, some people might even assume it’s “natural” for things to be toxified, homogenized, inbred, monopolized gmo crops.
But hey, if you give people a bunch of free opioids they’ll probably not complain either. At least though probably won’t expect the opioids to be nutritious, like food.

https://www.organicconsumers.org/news/monsantos-roundup-enough-make-you-sick
“Eager to sell more of its flagship herbicide, Monsanto also encouraged farmers to use Roundup as a dessicant, to dry out all of their crops so they could harvest them faster. So Roundup is now routinely sprayed directly on a host of non-GMO crops, including wheat, barley, oats, canola, flax, peas, lentils, soybeans, dry beans and sugar cane.
Between 1996 – 2011, the widespread use of Roundup Ready GMO crops increased herbicide use in the U.S. by 527 million pounds—even though Monsanto claimed its GMO crops would reduce pesticide and herbicide use.
Monsanto has falsified data on Roundup’s safety, and marketed it to parks departments and consumers as “environmentally friendly” and “biodegradable,” to encourage its use it on roadsides, playgrounds, golf courses, schoolyards, lawns and home gardens. A French court ruled those marketing claims amounted to false advertising.”
There’s a LOT to say about monsanto, bayer, glyphosate (and the other toxins in say, roundup, far more toxic with compounding effects). You might also mention the damage to soil itself, animals, etc.
Some other random factors would be “background” ionizing radiation, increasing cytotoxicity by around an order of magnitude. And there are more compounding factors, like non-ionizing EMF.
How about some genotoxicity?
https://dailyhealthpost.com/research-roundup-diluted-by-450-fold-still-remains-toxic/
Btw, glyphosate was initially patented as a metal chelator (binds and strips minerals). It was also “repurposed” as an antibiotic and weed killer, because it’s toxic synthetic garbage.
It has quite interesting functions in glycine metabolism (which is fairly important), other than chelating minerals which your body may need, being toxic by itself and destroying gut microbes.
Usage was also incredibly marketed and promoted by the likes of bayer/monsanto, for say, dessication (spraying it on crops to dry them, and much more than just wheat).

Since I’m an ancient alchemist/farmer/necromancer…
I figure I should random speculate about something regarding the function of the pineal gland.
So a lot of blood travels through it, it has some peculiar high-frequency functions. Rather sensitive to certain things.
Anyway, consider the pineal gland’s overall influence on metabolic, hormonal and other processes, particularly relating to timing, its geometric centrality…basically speaking, I think the pineal gland effectively helps “clean” the body with perhaps sort of piezoelectric function.
Like imagine say, an ultrasound cleaning device, or maybe other specific EM sort of “filters” or “sanitation” devices.

And don’t you think it’s peculiar that magnetite is found in proximity?
And that some have suggested say, aluminum, fluoride, glyphosate effects compound, quite important to (though not only) the pineal gland..but those effects are also compounded by EMF?
With respect to the magnetite in your brain, did you know that it has basically unparalleled absorption in the 100mhz to 10ghz range (that’d be the vast majority of wireless radiation, at around a quintillion times higher than natural)?
Isn’t that peculiar.
Oh btw, that magnetite, as well as the combination of the aforementioned glyphosate etc compound effects happen to be related to things like bee colony collapse disorder, too. As they bees use the magnetite for navigation and those factors interfere with that.

“I disagree. I feel that’s a nice oppressive attempt though. “Oh just forget about it”.

Perhaps it’s only oppressive to those who believe they are more than their place allows them.
“basically speaking, I think the pineal gland effectively helps “clean” the body with perhaps sort of piezoelectric function.”

How I hate the sight of the insane face masks? God, or great Nature, gave us a nose. The nose has a specific function. We exhale carbon dioxide – clearly we are not meant to inhale it, we leave that to green plants. The worse part of masks is that it gives some people what is now aptly called ‘virtue signalling’. Keep up the good work PSI!

Terry, that is nothing compared to what I saw last week when London had a heatwave of over 32C. A family of three all wearing black face coverings standing in full sunlight OUTSIDE on a wide enough platform that allowed plenty of meters between others, at around 1pm. When the child walked past I thought he was going to pass out and fall on the train tracks, as he was wobbling. Only after 15 mins of standing there in the heat they moved to a more shaded area. I was perplexed and so sorry for the child who looked no older than 10 years to be subjected to such abusive conditions.

If we needed masks to protect us from the vast number of viruses in the natural environment, we would have been born with one on our face. Evolution would have ensured that. The fact is that we have evolved with a respiratory system and immune system to deal with unwanted particles such as viruses. Reportedly this system works very well unless compromised by vaccination or mask wearing.

First, how are most of the comments above listed with times that are in the future. It is July 23, 1:58 pm and the comment above is July 23, 5:18 pm. What’s with that?
“Normally, the CO2 then dissipates into the air around you before you take another breath”
This is simply not true, it does not dissipate. One’s warm moist exhalant is directed AWAY from your face as it flows at fair speed from nose or mouth. Then, it likely rises, being lower density warm, moist air, which is one way mosquitoes find us, looking for the warm moist CO2-laden plum that they follow down to us.
When you inhale, air flows in all directions toward the low pressure opening(s) of your mouth or nose and is air that is local to your face. This is why astronauts on the space station do not suffocate in their own breath.
What masks do are stop your outward breath, forcing a general flow in all directions through or around the mask. The exhaled breath is now local to your face and comprises an significant amount of one’s next inhale. When you inhale the local air follows the same but reversed routes, from all directions through or around the mask. This is much like breathing into a paper bag with a few holes in it, but you are indeed recycling your breath with a mask, which is patently unhealthy.
I wore a mask for 10 minutes to get a haircut. Within 5 minutes, my pulse, heart rate, and blood pressure were all elevated and it was very disconcerting. These are three physiological symptoms of the flight or fight response and creates a feeling of anxiety and being threatened. People and particularly students who are trying to learn do not do well under such stress.
This is ignoring all of the other problems with long mask wearing, including the moist mask being a breeding ground for pathogens picked up from the air, a means of aerosolizing mask pathogens, and possible mask compositional chemicals that are toxic.
Developing brains indeed need full available oxygen to work well and having children use masks is tantamount to purposely mentally impairing their brain development, not to mention the stress produced, as described above. But, then again, the globalists do not want smart students, just ones that can takes order and do simple tasks. Looks like they are right on the mark here.

No mask can detect Covid, this is idiocy, but the public will believe it. The freaking “gold standard” PCR is nonspecific and detects coronaviruses, rhinoviruses, and influence indiscriminately. Since Covid or Covid-19 has never been isolated, cultured, and purified, the PCR test is bogus at every level. I just wonder what bogus science in involved in a passive test on a mask that takes only 90 minutes. Yeah, right.
