Years Of Masking Precautions Meant To Bene-fit The Wearer Were Thrown Out The Window Suddenly In 2020
Reason #135 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.

Germany’s Social Accident Insurance (DGUV) has long had safety standards for masks on workers. 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
“The standards and norms prescribed in many countries regarding different types of masks to protect their workers are also significant from an occupational health point of view.2 In Germany, for example, there are very strict safety specifications for masks from other international countries. These specify the requirements for the protection of the wearer.3 All these standards and the accompanying certification procedures were increasingly relaxed with the introduction of mandatory masks for the general public. This meant that non-certified masks such as community masks were also used on a large scale in the work and school sectors for longer periods during the pandemic measures.4 Most recently, in October 2020, the German Social Accident Insurance (DGUV) recommended the same usage time limits for community masks as for filtering half masks, namely, a maximum of three shifts of 120 minutes per day with recovery breaks of 30 minutes in between.
“In Germany, FFP2 (N95) masks must be worn for 75 minutes, followed by a 30-minute break. An additional suitability examination by specialized physicians is also obligatory and stipulated for occupationally used respirators.”5
Though it took them months to apply those standards to the general population, they finally did. In this regard the US is far behind. In the United States there is near silence from the institutions meant to protect people from dangerous masking orders. Though Germany is applying these more relaxed masking orders to the whole population and allowing people rest in between prolonged periods of masking, that approach is still not good enough. Face masks are unsafe and ineffective. They should not be forced on anyone, even if the person is given a long break.

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.
