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.

Theory abounds on the topic of how a child’s mind develops. Researchers do not know exactly how a child’s mind develops, but researchers have useful metrics to explore that realm of possibility, and conversely to observe harm and stress placed upon a child that puts a distracting burden upon the developing mind.
Masks appear to harm developing children as they experience neurological symptoms far above baseline. Though it should not require a study to tell us so, we are likely to one day see that the impositions from March 2020 onward were a repeated onslaught against the developing mind of a child.
In the article “Review of scientific reports of harms caused by face masks,” from December 2020, Silke Schwarz writes:1
“Background: Narratives about complaints in children and adolescents caused by wearing a mask are accumulating. There is, to date, no registry for side effects of masks.
“Methods: At the University of Witten/Herdecke an online registry has been set up where parents, doctors, pedagogues and others can enter their observations. On October, 20, 2020, 363 doctors were asked to make entries and to make parents and teachers aware of the registry.
“Results: By October, 26, 2020 the registry had been used by 20,353 people. In this publication we report the results from the parents, who entered data on a total of 25,930 children. The average wearing time of the mask was 270 minutes per day. Impairments caused by wearing the mask were reported by 68% of the parents. These included irritability (60%), headache (53%), difficulty concentrating (50%), less happiness (49%), reluctance to go to school/kindergarten (44%), malaise (42%) impaired learning (38%) and drowsiness or fatigue (37%).”
More than two-thirds of parents reported visible impairment in their child from wearing a mask. This begs a question. How many more children experienced difficulty from the mask, but their parents did not notice or were unwilling to notice?
Through more careful observation, we may one day realize that number is near 100% of children who have cognitive effects from mask wearing.

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.
I remember reading this study when it came out. In fact, I think I printed it to have in hard copy.
Putting masks on our kids (and on our elderly) has been deeply egregious and thoughtless. I am appalled when I see them out in public with their faces covered. Words are not adequate to describe the depth of sorrow and anger that I feel on behalf of those children. They have been deeply harmed and it will take years of remediation to address, if it is ever possible, since at this point anyone still putting masks on their children is unlikely to stop anytime soon.
I'm with Copernicus big time!...
