Dear Reader,
The wearing of a face mask to protect against a respiratory virus is an act of grand deceit. It is a behavior that defies research on the topic. Wearing a face mask, as this article (one of many) points to — is unsafe to do and is ineffective.
Until the narrative around mandatory masking has changed, each day by 6am Eastern, I will both post here and send out a science-based reason why no one should wear a face mask.
I ask that you help me circulate these pieces to those around you who you believe could most benefit from them. It is important not to remain silent on this topic. These are important discussions to be having with friends, family members, business owners, healthcare practitioners, public servants, and others in the community.

Not only is a face mask not helpful in preventing the spread of a respiratory virus, exercising in a face mask may actually increase infection rates.
In the Medical Hypotheses article, “Exercise with face mask; Are we handling a devil's sword? — A physiological hypothesis,” Baskaran Chandrasekaran and Shifra Fernandes write:1
“Though, moderate exercise, in the long run, is found to increase natural killer cell count and downregulate inflammatory factors such as tumor necrosis factors, acute bouts of vigorous exercise over a while may influence these changes negatively. Exercising with face masks induces an acidic environment, and thus mobility of hypoxic natural killer cells to the target cells would be affected, aggravating the chances of infection during the pandemic. A further change in humidity and temperature in the upper airway causes immotile cilia syndrome predisposing individuals to lower respiratory tract infections by deep seeding of oropharyngeal flora”2
Here we have another reason face masks should not be worn — not at rest and not during physical exertion, not by you and not by your child. Doing so may increase your risk of infection.

The bestselling book "Face Masks In One Lesson" by Allan Stevo describes how to never wear a face mask again. The follow-up to the book, "Face Masks Hurt Kids," describes why to never wear a face mask again. We must defeat the awful, narrative around the mandates.
Examples of how face masks hurt kids will be posted to the Lockdown Land Substack each morning by 6am Eastern until the narrative around this ineffective and harmful medical intervention has shifted. Face masks are, in fact, not just harmful to children. Face masks are harmful to everyone. Thank you so much for helping me circulate this research.
