Face Masks Reduce The Ability For A Child To Bond And Reduce The Ability For A Child To Learn
Reason #84 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.

From a young age, American children are taught to look others in the eye, to smile, and to give a good handshake. It sends signals to the other person that you are a capable person worthy of his time many similiarly expressive traditions are taught.
Important social bonds are formed in these first seconds of interaction as rapport is developed, largely on a non-verbal level, overwhelmingly reliant on the face and its cues.
Suddenly, we have done away with that and suggested the face is so irrelevant, social bonds are so irrelevant, that all must be masked without so much as a societal conversation about the harm done to a child when a face is masked.
I am here to start that conversation and mean to win it with your help.
In the article “Review of scientific reports of harms caused by face masks,” Manfred Spitzer, writes:1
“Covering the lower half of the face reduces the ability to communicate, interpret, and mimic the expressions of those with whom we interact. Positive emotions become less recognizable, and negative emotions are amplified. Emotional mimicry, contagion, and emotionality in general are reduced and (thereby) bonding between teachers and learners, group cohesion, and learning — of which emotions are a major driver. Face masks block emotional signaling between teachers and students:”
Children should not be masked, and no one in the presence of children should be masked.

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.
