Face Masks Cause Unstudied Psychological Harm To Children
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.

Based on our knowledge of psychology to date, face masks likely have tremendous psychological impacts upon children and upon the population as a whole.
This topic has been very lightly studied, a shocking detail given the tremendous amount of research in child psychology often touted as being so necessary for the wellbeing of children.
Major researchers in child psychology have been surprisingly quiet and obedient in what has been a travesty visited upon children.
You will forever know who in child psychology is worth reading and who is not worth the time to even consider based on whether or not they were vocal about the need for research on face masks in 2020 and beyond.
As Denis Rancourt points out in “Review of scientific reports of harms caused by face masks:”1
“One research focus area that appears to be entirely lacking, in examining the harms of masks, is the broad psychological (and therefore social) impact of mandatory masking policies applied to the general population.”
Denis Rancourt continues:
“There can be little doubt that forced masking of the general population has a significant potential to deteriorate the three fundamental psychological needs of the individual: autonomy, competence, and relatedness. This harm to individuals and the societal implications have not been studied. The impact may be gargantuan.
“Only infants and school children have so far been considered using the perspective of psychological and developmental impact (as described below).
“The 11 August 2020 Commentary of Scheid et al. is not helpful, because it incorrectly disregards physiological impacts and examines psychology solely from the perspective of mask compliance.2
“When considering whether a world of masked adults and children, at a crucial period in a baby’s or child’s life, can have long-term detrimental psychological and development impact, I propose that the following hierarchical sequence of thought experiments is useful:
• “Would babies and children entirely raised by mechanical robots be adversely affected?
• “Would babies and children entirely raised by masked adults, and themselves forced to be masked beyond two years of age, be adversely affected?
• “What periods, durations and circumstances of masking, distancing and shielding could have long-term psychological or developmental negative consequences?”
Did they use that platform to stand in defense of children? Did they stay silent? In those two simple questions, so much about the character of a person in that position can be answered.
We all can be grateful to the brave researchers cited in this book who stuck their necks out to stand up for children and adults alike in the face of bad science and tyrannical masking orders.
Ultimately, however, it comes down to your ability to say “No!” in your own life and to never wear a face mask again and to never mask your child again — no matter what the penalty is. Once you know the truth about how harmful masks are, it becomes hard to justify doing otherwise.

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.
