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.

As an adult, you have skills to handle emotions. You can take a deep breath and box them up for later or chose to let them all out now. You have a lot more ability to manage those emotions.
Children do not.
Children feel emotion 100%. Sad is felt 100%. Mad is felt 100%. Frustration is felt 100%. Betrayal is felt 100%.
Children do not know who to trust and intuitively know they need safety: not just physical safety, but also emotional safety. They are very intuitive on how to find that. It is a protective sixth sense of theirs.
Adults, after decades of learning to push down their natural and protective feelings tend to miss this about kids.
Whether or not you are empathetic enough to recognize this does not change this fact about your child.
Each time you put a child in a face mask, you wear away at their certainty that they are safe with you.
At least this is true, unless you can really do a number on them and brainwash them into believing one of the many lies around face masks.
That is unlikely. Eventually, they will catch on and it will come to harm the relationship. Everyone is entitled to mistakes, but you cannot let mistakes continue endlessly and still pretend they are mistakes. That too is a lie and one rooted in malice.
The quicker realized truth can be brought in, the better it is for the parent-child bond, and the better it is for the child’s wellbeing.
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.
