Cloth Face Masks Are So Awful That They Should Never Be Recommended To Prevent The Spread Of A Virus
Reason #133 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.

Scientists can be very staid in their writing style. Within the bounds of staid C. Raina MacIntyre, in “A cluster randomized trial of cloth masks compared with medical masks in healthcare workers,”1 dismantles the narrative that cloth masks work:
“In many parts of the world, cloth masks and medical masks may be the only options available for Healthcare Workers (HCWs.) Cloth masks have been used in West Africa during the Ebola outbreak in 2014, due to shortages of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE.) The use of cloth masks is recommended by some health organizations, with caveats.2,3,4 In light of our study, and the obligation to ensure occupational health and safety of HCWs, cloth masks should not be recommended for HCWs, particularly during Aerosol-Generating Procedures (AGPs) and in high-risk settings such as emergency, infectious/respiratory disease and intensive care wards. Infection control guidelines need to acknowledge the widespread real-world practice of cloth masks and should comprehensively address their use.”
Wearing a cloth mask is pure idiocy. Do not do it. A giant lie is being told to you. If you believe it, it is not the liar’s fault that you are so gullible.

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.
