What did most updated research on harms & toxicity of face masks (face diapers), blue surgical masks, white cloth masks & man-made face coverings show? That it's harmful & DEADLY! N95 better? No!
Researchers are reporting now that these masks made 'no difference' to Covid infection rates & they knew this for we/I told them with relentless science day in, day out; CDC/NIH etc. did not care!
Before you proceed, see my prior reviews in Brownstone, as they related to masks:
Now see this recent piece of research below (I will expand upon) by Kisielinski et al. on the physio-metabolic and clinical consequences of wearing face masks.
To begin, we even know that the N95 masks (see Horowitz) are no more useful than the blue surgical masks. We were sold a bill of goods by all involved, just purely misled and IMO, these blue masks, white cloth masks, all these surgical masks were ineffective on day one and never worked and will never work on these types of respiratory viruses. We even had CDC research evidence that they were ineffective (I think approximately May 2020) and thus even CDC knew it was advocating for failure and that they were lying to the public. Fauci was the biggest fraudster of them all as to the masks.
IMO, take them off, all of these fraud masks, make a pile, and burn them all.

So what did Kisielinski et al. find?
Overall, they found serious Physio-metabolic and clinical consequences of wearing face masks.

The U.K. Daily Mail also reported on this Kisielinski study.
Overall, researchers found that mask mandates had no effect (statistically significant change) on reducing hospital-acquired COVID infection.
Researchers conducted a systematic review of 2,168 relevant studies on the adverse effects of medical surgical masks; the review resulted in 54 publications suitable for review synthesis (summarization) and also 37 studies met eligibility for meta-analysis.
Researchers reported stunning and very troubling impacts of the medical surgical and N95 masks, ‘with a greater impact of the second.’
‘These effects included
i)decreased SpO2 (overall Standard Mean Difference, SMD = −0.24, 95% CI = −0.38 to −0.11, p < 0.001) and minute ventilation (SMD = −0.72, 95% CI = −0.99 to −0.46, p < 0.001),
ii)simultaneous increased in blood-CO2 (SMD = +0.64, 95% CI = 0.31–0.96, p < 0.001),
iii)increased heart rate (N95: SMD = +0.22, 95% CI = 0.03–0.41, p = 0.02),
iv)increased systolic blood pressure (surgical: SMD = +0.21, 95% CI = 0.03–0.39, p = 0.02), and
v)increased skin temperature (overall SMD = +0.80 95% CI = 0.23–1.38, p = 0.006) and humidity (SMD +2.24, 95% CI = 1.32–3.17, p < 0.001).’
In addition, researchers reported ‘Effects on exertion (overall SMD = +0.9, surgical = +0.63, N95 = +1.19), discomfort (SMD = +1.16), dyspnoea (SMD = +1.46), heat (SMD = +0.70), and humidity (SMD = +0.9) were significant in n = 373 with a robust relationship to mask wearing (p < 0.006 to p < 0.001). Pooled symptom prevalence (n = 8,128) was significant for: headache (62%, p < 0.001), acne (38%, p < 0.001), skin irritation (36%, p < 0.001), dyspnoea (33%, p < 0.001), heat (26%, p < 0.001), itching (26%, p < 0.001), voice disorder (23%, p < 0.03), and dizziness (5%, p = 0.01).’
Researchers concluded that the masks ‘interfered with O2-uptake and CO2-release and compromised respiratory compensation.’
‘Though evaluated wearing durations are shorter than daily/prolonged use, outcomes independently validate mask-induced exhaustion-syndrome (MIES) and down-stream physio-metabolic disfunctions. MIES can have long-term clinical consequences, especially for vulnerable groups. So far, several mask related symptoms may have been misinterpreted as long COVID-19 symptoms. In any case, the possible MIES contrasts with the WHO definition of health.’
The overall conclusion:
Luckily I was already retired when the Scandemic hit. I did, however, have to wear a mask if I wanted to get food from the grocery store. I purposely bought the black ones and punched about 50 small holes around the nose and mouth area with one on my smallest sewing needles. You couldn't see them and I could breathe. The maximum time I had one on was 2 hours in a whole week.
It was all about shaming the ones of us that did not wear the face diapers and this is not to mention the use of same to instill fear in people .OBEY ! Had to chuckle to see some people ,alone in their cars, driving and wearing the mask .Like who do they think they could possibly catch the virus from .Never came to mind I guess ,so eager to obey . It pains me to remember the damage that was done .
