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 very basics of science are being ignored with masking. Data is being supplanted by interpretation.
Examples of data may include:
The sky is illuminated.
The air is 73OF.
My tongue has taste buds.
Interpretation may start the same way as the above examples, but contain a term like these after that phrase:
Because …
Therefore …
That is why …
Which means …
Terms like these indicate the insertion of an interpretation or opinion and are separate from pure data.
The face mask debate is full of interpretation by officials and is very, very light on the necessary predecessor to interpretation: study, feedback, data collection, and further study. The scientific method is built upon this. Unwarranted interpretation, politicization, politically or financially motivated interpretation, as well as manipulation and threats towards those who disagree, are not part of the scientific method.
Lots of empty talk, very few useful numbers are at the heart of face masks policies.
This, on its face, presents an objection to all who attempts to interpret data to you, especially those who interpret it with an intent to convince you to behave a certain way. Such behavior is outside of the bonds of science and should be flatly rejected as incredible and dishonest.
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.
Thanks for keeping at this. It is important. I long ago concluded that the masks are a bovine-shale piety-to-"the-narrative" display, promoted by those who do not have anyone's good health as their goal, and by ignoramuses.

TRANSCRIPT – EXCERPT
1:15
PEGGY HALL [unmasked, at podium, addressing masked supervisors sitting on dais]: This is Peggy Hall. I'm the former director of teacher education at the University of California Irvine. I'd like to educate you on some of the laws that are very important that you have been elected to uphold.
Today on agenda item 13 you're going to be speaking with Health Officer Chao* and getting an update. You are required by law, which is California Code 101080 to terminate, and Mr. [inaudible] knows this very well because we've had conversations about it, you are required by law to terminate the local health emergency at the earliest possible date. This is a law. And I just want to know if we have the assurance that we can rely upon the law in this county or whether they're just words on a piece of paper. So Health Code 101080 gives authority to the Health Officer to call an emergency. In California we have a definition of the word emergency–
And none of you are looking at me. Gosh, that's so disconcerting.
Hello?
Supervisors? Yes, thank you, thank you very much I do appreciate the courtesy. Um, I've waited to speak and I would appreciate the courtesy of your attention.
Supervisor Bartlett** has replied to my concern. Supervisor Wagner*** hasn't. Chairman Do**** congratulations on your position. And I would like you today when you speak to Supervisor Chao* to add an additional exemption to the unlawful health orders.
I just snapped a photo here on the door because it says what the exemptions are. [reading from the photo on her smartphone] It says that the cloth face covering shall not apply to any of the following persons: Children under the age of 2, anyone who has trouble breathing or who is unconscious, incapacitated or otherwise unable to remove the face cloth covering without assistance, or persons with a medical or mental health condition.
You need to add a religious exemption. Tens of thousands of Christians are being persecuted in this county. I am not Muslim, I do not veil my face. I was made in the image of God. You started this meeting with a prayer, are those just empty words? I was made in the image of God, I am an image-bearer of God, and I do not veil my face, that is a Muslim practice.
Let me tell you the law in California is California Government Code 129262. Please write this down and please research it. 129262. It's a definition of my religious liberty as protected that you have taken an oath to uphold.
[reading from paper] Religious dress practice shall be construed broadly to include the wearing of face coverings.
That means I have the ability to not wear a face covering.
I am calling on you today to have this conversation with Health Officer Chao and within 10 days I want to see that added to this exemption. If not, there will be a file of a notice of claim for legal action against you for not upholding your oath of office. Thank you.
