Increased Dead Space Increases Breathing Resistance, Leading To Decreased Gas Exchange Of The Respiratory System — And A Cascade Of Other Physiological Side Effects
Reason #147 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.

Face masks make it harder to breathe, cause less gas to be exchanged during the breathing process, and decrease breathing depth and volume.
Kai Kisielinski, 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?” writes:1
“When breathing, there is an overall significantly reduced possible gas exchange volume of the lungs of minus 37% caused by the mask2 according to a decrease in breathing depth and volume due to the greater breathing resistance of plus 128%3 (exertion when inhaling greater than when exhaling) and due to the increased dead space volume of plus 80%,4 which does not participate directly in the gas exchange and is being only partially mixed with the environment.”
Face masks should not be worn.

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.
