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.

The harm done to a dialysis patient by the wearing of an N95 respirator is significant and can be lethal to some who are critically ill. As the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons write:1
“A 2004 observational study of end stage renal disease patients during dialysis for 4 hours, 39 patients, mean age, 57 years. 70% had decreased PaO2 (from 100 to 92); 19% had hypoxemia (PaO2 <70); all patients had increased respiratory rate 16 to 18; chest discomfort (3 baseline patients to 11 patients); respiratory distress (1 baseline patient to 17 patients).”2,3
This data comes from a study entitled “The physiological impact of wearing an N95 mask during hemodialysis as a precaution against SARS in patients with end-stage renal disease.”
N95 masks can be life threatening to some who are critically ill. The AAPS report continues:
“Stanford engineers discovered that N95 masks cause a reduction in O2 intake so significant that it can be life threatening to someone [with] lung disease or respiratory distress.
“Stanford engineers estimated that N95 masks cause a 5% to 20% reduction in O2 intake. This can cause dizziness and lightheadedness. This can be life-threatening for someone with lung disease or with respiratory distress.”4
Face mask wearing is harmful for the healthy and sick. N95 wearing is even more harmful for the healthy and sick. Not only should a face mask never be forced onto your child, an N95 mask should not either.

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.
Absolutely love all these posts on the harms of masks.
