Yes, Data From The Council On Foreign Relations Even Says Face Masks Do Not Work
Reason #5 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 deifies 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 Council on Foreign Relations, an organization dedicated to making others live less free lives, even found it important to conduct a study on face mask effectiveness and compliance.
It is an organization imbued through and through with a spirit of control and most certainly not a spirit of charity. When the CFR is studying masks, one can almost be certain that the study is not about a charitable interpretation of helping others live more helpful and prosperous lives.
In a September 2020 paper entitled: “Microbial challenges from masks,” Boris Borovoy et al. uses the CFR study alongside readily available public data to demonstrate the ineffectiveness of face masks:”1
“In July 2020, the Council of Foreign Relations conducted a survey of 25 countries, with the following question to their citizens:
“‘Have you always worn a face mask outside the home in the last seven days?’ The ‘Yes’ responses ranged from 1% in Finland and Denmark, to 93% in Singapore.2
“We then examined each of the same 25 countries for prevalence of mask use versus Covid-19 deaths per 1 million population. This data was gathered from Worldometers statistics.3 That data is shown in Table 1, also represented in Graph 1.”
Table 1
* % mask use over Jul 6-12, 2020 from CFR survey
** Covid deaths per 1M pop, at 10/7/2020 from Worldometers

Borovoy identifies in this data no correlation between Covid death rates and face mask use (Emphasis added):
“As we see from the above data, there was no significant correlation with mask use and either increase or reduction of deaths from Covid-19; thus, masking could not have caused a significant reduction in deaths. In fact, two of the countries with the highest Covid-19 deaths also had high rates of mask use: Spain at 87% mask use and Brazil at 90% mask use. Again, masking could not have caused a significant reduction in deaths.”
While there is no correlation between mask use and deaths, Borovoy identifies a correlation between mask use and PCR test rates that is counter to the mainstream narrative:
“Another table presented from Worldometers data also demonstrates the rate of positive Covid-19 PCR tests per one million population in the same 25 countries surveyed. This data is reported in Table 2 and Graph 2.”
Table 2

Graph 2
Borovoy identifies a trend in this second set of data (Emphasis added):
“Contrary to data in table 1, we do see a significant trend in table 2. Curve-fitting a trend line, we see a positive slope for this line of 37.536. That is, for every increased percentage point of mask use in a country, there were an average of 37.536 additional positive PCR tests per one million population. This shows that masking has not accomplished the advertised function of reducing the number of positive PCR tests, but rather seems to be correlated with an increased number of positive PCR tests for Covid-19.”
To allow Borovoy to state this even more clearly:
“Mask use does not decrease the number of positive PCR tests, mask use actually INCREASES the number of positive PCR tests.”
Are you starting to see a trend here?
If you scratch the surface a little, it becomes evident that face masks have been known to not work against the transmission of a respiratory virus. All anyone needed to do to figure that out was to turn off the media, stop listening to politicians, and to find some quality research. That research has been readily available.

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.
