Face Mask Material May Be Teratogenic — Which Means They May Cause Birth Defect
Reason #57 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.

Much effort is made to protect developing fetuses from chemicals that may harm them. This practice has been dispensed with in the case of face masks. Pregnant mothers need to be aware that the medical community and public health establishment are unlikely to point out these risks.
In an April 20, 2021 article entitled “Is a Mask That Covers the Mouth and Nose Free from Undesirable Side Effects in Everyday Use and Free of Potential Hazards?”1 Kai Kisielinski writes that toxic chemical used in the manufacturing of face masks may cause birth defects:
“In addition, it is unclear whether the substances contained in industrially manufactured masks that can be inhaled over longer periods of time (e.g., formaldehyde as an ingredient of the textile and thiram as an ingredient of the ear bands) are teratogenic.”2,3
There is nothing surprising about this. Toxic chemicals are regularly used all around us. Many of them are unstudied for their effects on the fetus and their ability to cause birth defects.
The legitimate concern that masks add to the toxic load on a mother and child represent another reason not to wear a face mask. This is especially true if you are sensitive to chemicals or if you are one who takes extra precautions to avoid toxic chemicals.
The contents of face masks are not well studied for their teratogenic effects. That is even more the case for cloth face masks, for which there is virtually no study of the harm done by the many chemicals used to create that fabric, to treat that fabric, and to dye that fabric. A great deal of effort goes into studying the toxicity of chemicals on the skin and avoiding overly toxic chemicals in the manufacturing of clothing. These chemicals, however, have not been studied for use in a cloth face mask. Chemicals that are relatively safe on the skin may not be safe to inhale.

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.
Allan, I broke my foot, went to an xray office. No mask, no xray. I said no way.... they said take it up with Marin County. There were adamant. I was in intense pain. I wanted the xray. I took their piece of disgusting toxic thing and put it over one ear and despite having a doctor's note, they told me to get out of mask up. I didn't have the energy to fight, but I did tell them it was not legal, etc. They were two young girls, and no one had told them anything about the dangers of masks. Marin is Moronic again. or still.
