Face Masks Are So Bad For You That The Vast Majority Of Healthy People Get Headaches From Wearing Them
Reason #94 that Face Masks Hurt Kids
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.

It is worth noting that headaches in face masks are not suffered just among the sick. They are suffered among the healthy too. How much more harmful of an impact, then, can be expected among the sick, children, and the elderly.
“Well, I do not get a headache from wearing a face mask,” some may say. That indicates, for some that others have no reason to complain. However, absence of evidence is not evidence of absence. Keep wearing a face mask if you find it the right fit for you. One day you will likely come to regret that decision. Do not, however, force a face mask upon others.
Face masks should not be forced on others, no should other types of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE).
According to Jonathan J.Y. Ong, in the article “Headaches Associated With Personal Protective Equipment – A Cross-Sectional Study Among Frontline Healthcare Workers During Covid-19:”1
“Most healthcare workers develop de novo PPE-associated headaches or exacerbation of their pre-existing headache disorders.”
Breaking those numbers down further, study authors observed:
“A total of 158 healthcare workers participated in the study. Majority [126/158 (77.8%)] were aged 21-35 years. Participants included nurses [102/158 (64.6%)], doctors [51/158 (32.3%)], and paramedical staff [5/158 (3.2%)]. Pre-existing primary headache diagnosis was present in about a third [46/158 (29.1%)] of respondents. Those based at the emergency department had higher average daily duration of combined PPE exposure compared to those working in isolation wards [7.0 (SD 2.2) vs 5.2 (SD 2.4) hours, P < .0001] or medical ICU [7.0 (SD 2.2) vs 2.2 (SD 0.41) hours, P < .0001]. Out of 158 respondents, 128 (81.0%) respondents developed de novo PPE-associated headaches. A pre-existing primary headache diagnosis (OR = 4.20, 95% CI 1.48-15.40; P = .030) and combined PPE usage for >4 hours per day (OR 3.91, 95% CI 1.35-11.31; P = .012) were independently associated with de novo PPE-associated headaches. Since Covid-19 outbreak, 42/46 (91.3%) of respondents with pre-existing headache diagnosis either ‘agreed’ or ‘strongly agreed’ that the increased PPE usage had affected the control of their background headaches, which affected their level of work performance.”
Many are harmed by face mask policies — both the wearer and those around the wearer are harmed. Face masks should not be forced upon anyone. They should instead be widely ridiculed in society.
The truth is, they are not “forced” on anyone. There are numerous ways around wearing a face mask and around having a face mask worn in front of you. You can skip to the end of the book or sign up at www.RealStevo.com to learn some of the techniques that work so well. What it really comes down to, though, is resolving to never wear a face mask again. It is also about figuring out how to live as unimpeded as possible while others slowly open their eyes to how nonsensical face mask policies are and themselves work up the courage to also resolve to never again wear a face mask.

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.
