Face Masks Reduce The Ability For A Child To Bond And Reduce The Ability For A Child To Learn
Reason #84 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.

From a young age, American children are taught to look others in the eye, to smile, and to give a good handshake. It sends signals to the other person that you are a capable person worthy of his time many similiarly expressive traditions are taught.
Important social bonds are formed in these first seconds of interaction as rapport is developed, largely on a non-verbal level, overwhelmingly reliant on the face and its cues.
Suddenly, we have done away with that and suggested the face is so irrelevant, social bonds are so irrelevant, that all must be masked without so much as a societal conversation about the harm done to a child when a face is masked.
I am here to start that conversation and mean to win it with your help.
In the article “Review of scientific reports of harms caused by face masks,” Manfred Spitzer, writes:1
“Covering the lower half of the face reduces the ability to communicate, interpret, and mimic the expressions of those with whom we interact. Positive emotions become less recognizable, and negative emotions are amplified. Emotional mimicry, contagion, and emotionality in general are reduced and (thereby) bonding between teachers and learners, group cohesion, and learning — of which emotions are a major driver. Face masks block emotional signaling between teachers and students:”
Children should not be masked, and no one in the presence of children should be masked.
Rancourt, D.G. Review of scientific reports of harms caused by face masks, up to February 2021. Children's Health Defence. 2021. DOI: 10.13140/RG.2.2.14294.37448. Retrieved from https://childrenshealthdefense.org/wp-content/uploads/5thsciencereview-masksharm-1.pdf.
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.

TRANSCRIPT

DR. JEFF HORAK: They call the surgeon in when there's trauma, alright? Look around, this community is in trouble. Alright? I wore a mask for 38 years. I'm in a position for just that long. Everything I do, put a mask on and I can tell you when I put that N95 mask on and just stood there and operated I got headaches. I got headaches. I'm used to wearing masks. I'm not even trying to do without running or playing a gym or all the other stuff. These masks? You want to stop the virus? The example of it is like trying to stop a mosquito with a chain-link fence. Good luck, alright? Yes, I sneeze. These masks are designed to toss shit behind me [laughter from audience] That's all they're designed for. So I'm still not sure why I'm here.
Yes, I take care of people. I feel like what this is about, this is about fear. This is about fear. I'm going to say it right out [thumps podium with fist], this is about death. Everybody around here is scared that a kid might die in this community and I'm terrified of it, too. But I've been the guy there who pronounced the kids when they died. We all remember, I'm not gonna say her name, but an 18 month little girl who got hit by a car. Her mom was a nurse, [inaudible] was her primary doctor. And we tried to keep her going as long as we could, but it was time, and I pronounced her because nobody else ever could.
Because why? Because it's not about our science. You can find anything you want about science. You can go read any— I can prove either side of this anytime, looking anywhere I want, I can find the data that'll show what you think is right.
You heard that from people out here. Social media? You heard it. Tom [inaudible] did an excellent job. I'll grow my social media thing [inaudible].
So what do I do when I have to make life death decisions? Because effectively that's what you're being tasked to decide. Somewhere along this [inaudible] you're going to have to decide and your decision is going to make a life or death decision for some kid, or an adult, or like my partner said, her kid's home because that kid might have brought that to that uncle and he got it and he died.
We all are going to die. It's a given. You cannot change it. Who do you believe? What is your foundation? This city has 17 Lutheran churches. [laughter from audience] It, it's environment, you can't turn without seeing a church. Detroit, Michigan, you can't turn without seeing a liquor store! [laughter from audience] I am blessed to be in this community, as are all of you, but now you're put in a position to make a decision.
How do I make my decisions with my experience of 35, 38 years with what I've seen? You know what really magic is of what surgery does? You take, and one of you might need my services tonight because chances are, y'all are going to get an ulcer. [laughter from audience] When you perforate your ulcer you're gonna call, and I'm gonna show up, and I'm gonna give you information, real quick. And I'm the expert, I'm going to tell you what you need, and 99 percent of the time you're going to believe it. Most of [inaudible] are hurting so bad they have no choice.
But these people are hurting and they have no choice and aren't sure where to look. They're looking to you to make a decision. How do I make those decisions? I pray. I pray on the way in. Any one of you shows up tonight I'm praying on the way in. When I walk in I pray for you. I pray with you. I pray for the team. I ask for guidance.
Fixing your ulcer? Well this is the part [inaudible]. I don't take any responsibility for that, I just put the two sides together. Just little strings anybody can do it, monkeys can do it. [laughter from audience] Monkeys do it in a [inaudible] [laughter from audience]. God heals you. He mends that, in 24 hours it's watertight and won't leak anymore. I take you through those places but I give Him credit. I'm a tool by the Maker.
Look to your Maker. Do what you need to do for the people who have entrusted this to you. Put yourself in their shoes. I don't know how you can put yourself in that woman whose child has to wear a mask yet can't do her physical therapy or her speech therapy. I don't know how you do that decision.
You mandate this across the board, that's a tough place to go. I would suggest, and it's just a suggestion, pray about it. Come real close to God, find out what He wants you to do, and then I would ask you to say, Who does God put in charge of these kids? Their parents, right? God gave each one of these kids to their child, I'm sorry, each one of these kids their parents, and they speak for them. They may be wrong, they may be dumb, they may be imperfect in their decisions, but it's still their responsibility. It's not yours. God gave it to them. Honor their wishes, either side of the fence, and then let them decide if they want to go to school here or not. They'll go to another school in [inaudible] so be it! If they want to stay here and not wear a mask, so be it!
Take care of your people. OK that's why I'm here. God wins. And a lot of these people don't give their consent. They do not give their consent, it's against the constitution. But that's another story. Thank you.
FEMALE VOICE: Thank you, Dr. Horak.

Minnesota surgeon fired after criticizing mask mandates at school board meeting
A rally was held in support of Dr. Jeff Horak on Monday morning and hundreds of supporters reportedly showed up.

Evan Stambaugh, October 26, 2021
A surgeon for Lake Region Healthcare in Fergus Falls, Minnesota, was recently fired after speaking about mask mandates at a school board meeting.
Valley News Live reported Friday that Dr. Jeff Horak was let go from his job not long after giving remarks at a Fergus Falls School Board meeting on Oct. 11. "The explanation I have that was given is that my views and the views of my group were no longer congruent," he told the station.
Dr. Horak, a 40-year veteran of the medical field, said his employer presented him with two options: resign voluntarily or be fired. He did not choose to resign and was thus fired.
“We live in America where freedoms are held close. I am a man who believes individuals have the right to do their research and decide what is best for them and their children when it comes to their health. I don’t believe governments or institutions should dictate that. It’s a position I’ve always taken. And when the science doesn’t make sense it’s hard for me to go along,” Horak said in a statement on Facebook.
