Mayo Clinic: Face Mask Wearing Is Leading To An Increase In Staph Infections, As Can Be Expected As They Help Bacteria Access Deeper Quarters Of The Body
Reason #74 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.

Oral bacteria accessing deep tissue in the body can lead to harmful infections. Boris Borovoy et al write in “Microbial challenges from masks:”1
“When oral bacteria gain access to blood and deep tissues, they may cause pneumonia, abscesses in lung tissue, subacute bacterial endocarditis, sepsis and meningitis. It is important to consider that endocarditis can be a lifelong infection. Strep pyogenes bacteria has been observed for decades to cause irreversible fibrosis in heart tissue long after the bacteria were no longer found. This bacteria is known by many as ‘flesh eating strep.’ Former Streptococcus infections that had seemingly resolved a long time ago may still be positive in an Antistreptolysin O test. For years afterward, flares of toxins can be released in the body at times of stress or secondary infection and cause debilitating symptoms.”
Additional diseases may be caused by oral bacteria reaching deep tissue. Borovoy writes:
“Additionally Type 2 diabetes, hypertension, and cardiovascular diseases have been the result of oral bacteria gaining access to deeper tissue. These are among the diseases reported as co-morbidities associated with an increased risk of death attributed to Covid-19. COPD and in this enormous study, cancer can also result simply from the access of oral bacteria to deeper tissue.
“Immune-mediated inflammatory disorders, commonly known as auto-immune diseases are correlated with oral dysbiosis. We know that transient bacteria from an oral infection or a dental procedure can gain access to the blood for systemic circulation. Those bacteria can produce toxins that trigger tissue damage or other pathological changes. These molecules may react with antibodies that produce large complexes, which are associated with acute and chronic inflammatory changes. Such auto-immune diseases as rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus and Sjogren’s syndrome all have features of oral dysbiosis.”
Brain tissue can even be reached by such infections. Borovoy writes:
“Autoimmune encephalitis occurs when microbes access brain tissue, triggering neurological or psychiatric symptoms. This complex of diseases include basal ganglia encephalitis, and can be triggered by bacterial, viral and fungal infections. Some of the most pernicious of this group of diseases is pediatric autoimmune neuropsychiatric disorders associated with streptococcal infections (PANDAS). Group A Streptococcus (GAS) is a very common illness, and the most common bacterial infectious agent of sore throat, ‘strep throat,’ and is one of the microbial agents involved in PANDAS. GAS causes one million to 2.6 million cases of strep throat each year.
“Repeated infections in the nasal cavity can lead to Th1 and Th17 lymphocytes in the surrounding nasal tissue. These are pro-inflammatory and target host cells in a misdirected immune response. The Th17 cells travel into the brain along the olfactory nerves, through the cribriform plate from the nose or throat or palate and into the brain. These in turn stimulate cytokines, which then stimulate microglia. The endothelial cells in the blood brain barrier are broken down by damaging both the tight junctions in the endothelium, and by increasing transcytosis of auto-antibodies that are circulating in the blood to access the brain. This mechanism has been shown to lead to the abrupt onset of neurological and psychiatric symptoms associated with the PANDAS diagnosis.”
Borovoy cites the Mayo Clinic, tying mask wearing to a new prevalence of deadly infections:
“Our nasal passages are colonized by Staphylococcus bacteria, among other organisms. Under typical circumstances, these pose no threat to the individual; however, Mayo Clinic has warned, (although this statement has now been erased from their site.) ‘A growing number of otherwise healthy people are developing life-threatening staph infections because of mask wearing:’”
A convincing explanation for why this sensible, early warning has been removed from the Mayo Clinic website has not been provided. How many have suffered from life-threatening infections as a result of the removal of such a warning? Who removed this warning? Can that person ever be allowed in a position of public trust again? These are questions that will one day need to be answered.
Mask wearing may cause these infections to be more likely because of their ability to colonize oral bacteria outside the body’s defenses, but close enough to impact the body by forming part of the respiratory “dead space.” As Borovoy points out:
“One of the risks of mask wearing is that masks maintain bacteria in greater numbers and for a longer period of time. This increases the risk of those bacteria entering the respiratory system and/or blood stream through micro wounds.”
Borovoy lists some of these conditions:
“The following are some of the diseases and conditions that may result. Bacteremia is a condition in which bacteria can travel to internal organs, muscle, bone and prosthetic devices. Toxic shock syndrome is a condition in which some strains of Staphylococcus produce toxins that create high fever, nausea, vomiting and other symptoms. Septic arthritis occurs when staph bacteria infect the joints, which may result in pain, swelling and fever.
“The risk of pericarditis caused by staphylococcus has been known since at least 1945. This life-threatening disease has been treated with prolonged antibiotic therapy and aggressive drainage of the pericardium, and, in severe cases, surgical resection of the pericardium. Purulent pericarditis is the most serious consequence of bacterial pericarditis, and is always fatal if untreated. Even in treated patients the mortality rate is 40%.
“Streptococcus is a commensal organism of the oral mucosa, and is the most common infective agent causing endocarditis. It is not so unusual for oral Streptococci to gain access to the bloodstream, and oral Streptococci comprise more than half of colonies cultured from blood following dental procedures. ‘Oral streptococcal bacteremia is frequently associated with the development of septic shock and death.’”
Borovoy demonstrates a long-term concern for deeper tissue infection by oral bacteria:
“Cardiovascular and rheumatological outcomes from mask-wearing are unlikely to be realized in the United States for at least several months due to the recentness of mask wearing; although we can learn from the history of prevalence of cardiovascular disease many years after the 1918-1919 forced masking pandemic described previously. These are enormous concerns on the horizon for future public health considerations.”
While Borovoy predicts a several month lag time as possible, in discovering these newfound symptoms and conditions resulting from face mask wearing, the lag time may be significantly longer.
In a free and open environment for scientific discussion, Borovoy’s prediction would be sensible. However, in the heavily censorious environment we are in, in which a lack of public discourse and a lack of scientific debate exists on this topic, the usual channels are not able to effectively work. Accordingly, the scientific method is unable to be applied as easily in the absence of robust research and debate.
That only further illustrates the need for brave sentinels such as Borovoy. Deep tissue infection from oral bacteria represents another reason not to 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.
