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 outer ear, or auricle, is made of cartilage and skin. Cartilage and skin are flexible materials. Like all parts of our body, they are able to be shaped by long-term pressure.
The three parts of the outer ear are the lobule (ear lobe), tragus (the piece of flesh that sticks out next to your ear canal), and the helix (the remainder of the ear). All three parts are subject to change under long-term pressure.
The loops of face masks most notably impact the shape of the helix — the major portion of the external ear. This may distort a person’s appearance over the long-term and may also have lasting functional impact on the process of hearing, even long after the individual has stopped wearing a mask.
In the August 20, 2020 article “Review of scientific reports of harms caused by face masks,” Dina Karvounides writes:1,2
“Among those on the market, surgical masks with elastic loops are the ones most chosen by parents for their children. These elastics cause constant compression on the skin and, consequently, on the cartilage of the auricle, leading to erythematous and painful lesions of the retroauricular skin when the masks are used for many hours a day. Pre-adolescent children have undeveloped auricular cartilage with less resistance to deformation; prolonged pressure from the elastic loops of the mask at the hollow or, even worse, at the anthelix level can influence the correct growth and angulation of the outer ear. In fact, unlike when using conservative methods for the treatment of protruding ears, this prolonged pressure can increase the cephaloauricular angle of the outer auricle. It is important for the authorities supplying the masks to be aware of this potential risk and for alternative solutions to be found …”
Do not wear a face mask, because it will deform your developed ears, but even worse, it will deform your child’s undeveloped ears. It has far more impact on the correct growth of a child’s ears. Poorly formed ears may look strange, a concern worth considering, but may also cause hearing impairment that otherwise would not exist. We do not know how badly this impact occurs. We only know that it occurs.
Again, here we are, experimenting on our children. If we do not know the answers to questions of harm — both long-term and short-term — then we are conducting an experiment on children — on a societal level, but also on an individual level — every time you put a face mask on your child.
Additionally, it leads to painful lesions. Why would anyone put their child through pain with no benefit to the child or anyone else? Such sadism visited upon a child is demented.

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.
