Study Makes Claim That Masks are ‘Ineffective’, Have ‘Devastating Health Consequences’
Baruch Vainshelboim, a clinical exercise physiologist, published a study in November that recirculated on the internet recently hypothesizing that masks are ineffective and could have long-term health consequences.
“Although, scientific evidence supporting facemasks’ efficacy is lacking, adverse physiological, psychological and health effects are established,” the article states.
…the researcher … says not only are masks ineffective, but could also be causing long-term health problems.
“Both medical and non-medical facemasks are ineffective to reduce human-to-human transmission and infectivity of SARS-CoV-2 and COVID-19,” the article details. “Wearing facemasks has adverse physiological and psychological effects … [and] long-term consequences of wearing facemasks on health are detrimental.”
The research suggests that the long-term practice of wearing facemasks has the “strong potential for devastating health consequences,” and states that masks should be “avoided from use.” …
“The existing scientific evidences challenge the safety and efficacy of wearing facemask as preventive intervention for COVID-19,” the article reads. “The data suggest that both medical and non-medical facemasks are ineffective to block human-to-human transmission of viral and infectious disease such SARS-CoV-2 and COVID-19, supporting against the usage of facemasks. Wearing facemasks has been demonstrated to have substantial adverse physiological and psychological effects.”
Physiological and Psychological Effects of Wearing Facemask and Their Potential Health Consequences.
“Enough with the masks! Enough with the masks! We are a free country, and this is America, home of the free, land of the brave. Enough with the masks. They don’t work. They’re tyranny. They’re micromanaging us. You give me two politicians, one of them saying ‘you better wear your mask’ and another one saying ‘I will not wear my mask.’ I’m going with the politician who’s courageous and standing up to the tyranny. Enough with the masks!”

Claiming 3 million masks used globally every minute, researchers warn of environmental catastrophe
March 12, 2021
Researchers in the U.S. and Denmark estimated in a study in Frontiers in Environmental Science that “an astounding 129 billion face masks [are] being used globally every month,” a number that works out to three million every minute. “Most are disposable face masks made from plastic microfibers,” the researchers note.
Report: Over 1.5 Billion Masks to Pollute Ocean This Year
29 Dec 2020
Over one billion of the 52 billion masks produced in 2020 will pollute the world’s oceans, warns a report published by an environmental group out of Hong Kong. …
“Single-use face masks are made from a variety of meltblown plastics and are difficult to recycle due to both composition and risk of contamination and infection,” OceansAsia’s report states. …
The report estimates nearly 7,000 tons of plastic could pollute the ocean and may take roughly 450 years to break down.
“This plastic does not ‘go away,’ but rather accumulates, breaking up into smaller and smaller pieces. Annually, it is estimated that marine plastic pollution kills 100,000 marine mammals and turtles, over a million seabirds, and even greater numbers of fish, invertebrates, and other marine life,” the report says. “Plastic pollution also profoundly impacts coastal communities, fisheries, and economies. Conservative estimates suggest that it could cost the global economy $13 billion USD per year, and lead to a 1-5% decline in ecosystem services, at a value of between $500 to $2,500 billion USD.”
The report also highlights various animals that have died due to masks.
This could be the Anchorage Assembly, ruling by emotion instead of facts. Mat-Su (Wassila and Palmer) has half the deaths and hospitalizations that Anchorage has (the facts that really matter. PCR tests have up to 90% false positives – NY Times), yet has an older population and no mandates.
The Alaska comparisons are in brackets:
[Minute-9:25] LOGICAL PAUL: “So how does Madison [WASILLA] have school five days a week and not have masks and not have spikes in Covid?”
EMOTIONAL ELIZABETH: “You know what, I don’t know, Paul. I don’t know, and I frankly don’t particularly care. I want to make a decision for District 91 and Idaho Falls [ANCHORAGE]…. And Madison [WASILLA] school district and their trusties can make what is best for them.”
LOGICAL PAUL: “I think we can take the data, though, that’s from Eastern Public Health and learn from it.”
Sadly, a school district recall effort to remove Elizabeth Cogliati failed 40.2% to 59.8%. But they tried!

“The biggest lost message on this entire pandemic is vitamin D.”
Slide from Dr. Cole’s presentation: If one has a D level of 50ng/ml (range 20-100) one cannot develop a “cytokine storm” (that which kills in covid)
MY NOTES
Average Covid-19 age of death: 78.6. Average annual US age of death historically: 78.6.
4:40 “The biggest lost message on this entire pandemic is vitamin D. … There is no such thing as ‘flu and cold season.’ There is only low vitamin D season.”
“It is the master key to your immune system. If one has a level in midrange you cannot develop a cytokine storm, data shows. What kills people? Cytokine storm. If you are in midlevel range, you cannot die from Covid because you cannot get a cytokine storm.”
70-80% of Americans are vitamin D deficient. 82-88% of nursing home patients, 83% of African Americans, 70% of Latinos, 72% of Native Americans, 47% of Caucasians are vitamin D deficient. 96% of ICU patients are vitamin D deficient.
“The best mask of all is a healthy immune system, and a healthy immune system doesn’t occur if you don’t have D in normal range.”
Above the 35th parallel, WE CANNOT make natural vitamin D from the sun in winter for 4-5 months.
“Obesity drastically reduces your ability to get vitamin D into your circulation.”
9:35 “Normal D levels decrease your risk for Covid symptom severity risk for hospitalization by 90%. That’s the world data now. There have been a lot of placebo controlled trials that show this, all around the world. It is scientific fact.”
10;25 “That’s why the hospitalizations and the death rates in the darker skinned populations. It is not social disparity. It is plain and simple biology.”
“The RDA, the recommended daily allowance: that was after WWII to sustain basic life. … It is absolute nonsense.”
Fauci said in an interview in November, 2020 he takes 8,000-9,000 iu per day, but then doesn’t make this a public health message.
13:00 CONFLICT OF INTEREST: If there’s a treatment [like HCL or Ivermectin], by rule, the FDA cannot give [fast-track] approval for a vaccine.
14:00 Treatments that don’t work by the time people are in the hospital: Remdesivir at $3,000 and still used by hospitals does NOT add survival benefit. Convalescent plasma and monoclonal antibodies only work early. Steroids at the right point in the disease do add benefit.
Ivermectin works, and is safe. Over 4 billion people have taken it since 1980! “There is blood on the hands of bureaucrats in Washington who have suppressed this lifesaving medication.” In India, Ivermectin packets costing only 2 cents have been given out, and have brought life in India back to normal. In the U.S., it’s less than $30 for an entire treatment.
20:30 The experimental mRNA vaccines are not vaccines. Long term safety is highly suspect.
23:15 “Masks don’t do anything.”
We are in an endemic right now. We are not in a pandemic.”
26:00 Cytokine storm explained, which vitamin D stops.
Both video I posted originally (below this one) were censored, which is tantamount to murder, blocking vital information that would have saved thousands of lives, so Big Pharma can make their $billions on their not thoroughly tested, experimental vaccines.

First 30 minutes of this YouTube version:
Sadly, Rand pushes the experimental, dangerous vaccines, but also states the cloth masks don’t really work at all (minute-5:30).
Mask statements start at 4:50:
“As the rise of infections went up, everyone was wearing masks.”
“…I don’t think people should be tricked into thinking the mask is the answer.”
“The cloth masks don’t really work at all.”
Six Proofs Masks Do Not Reduce Infections
1. Insubstantial: A CDC-funded review on masking in May 2020 came to the conclusion: “Although mechanistic studies support the potential effect of hand hygiene or face masks, evidence from 14 randomized controlled trials of these measures did not support a substantial effect on transmission of laboratory-confirmed influenza… None of the household studies reported a significant reduction in secondary laboratory-confirmed influenza virus infections in the face mask group.” If masks can’t stop the regular flu, how can they stop SAR-CoV-2?
2. Unreasonable: “Evidence that masking as a source [of] control results in any material reduction in transmission was scant, anecdotal, and, in the overall, lacking… [and mandatory masking] is the exact opposite of being reasonable,” ruled a hospital arbitrator in a dispute between The Ontario Nurses’ Association and the Toronto Academic Health Science Network.
3. Ineffective: “Oral masks in healthy individuals are ineffective against the spread of viral infections,” write Belgian medical doctors in an open letter published in The American Institute of Stress, September 24, 2020.
4. Unsanitary: “It has never been shown that wearing surgical face masks decreases postoperative wound infections,” writes Göran Tunevall, M.D. in the World Journal of Surgery. “On the contrary, a 50% decrease [in bacterial infection] has been reported after omitting face masks.”
5. No Protection: “There were 17 eligible studies.… None of the studies established a conclusive relationship between mask ⁄ respirator use and protection against influenza infection,” concludes a research review in the journal Influenza and Other Respiratory Viruses.
6. Unproven: Dutch Minister for Medical Care, Tamara van Ark, asserted that “from a medical perspective there is no proven effectiveness of masks” after a review by the National Institute for Health on July 29, 2020 (according to Reuters).
Five Ways Forced Masking is Immoral
1. Reckless: “By making mask-wearing recommendations and policies for the general public, or by expressly condoning the practice, governments have both ignored the scientific evidence and done the opposite of following the precautionary principle,” writes Denis Rancourt, PhD in his 2020 paper Masks Don’t Work.
2. Manipulative: Dr. Andreas Voss, member of the World Health Organization expert team and head of microbiology at a Dutch hospital in Nijmegen, on July 24, 2020, told I Am Expat that masks were made mandatory “not because of scientific evidence, but because of political pressure and public opinion.”
3. Fear-Mongering: “In fact, there is no study to even suggest that it makes any sense for healthy individuals to wear masks in public,” write Drs. Karina Reiss, Phd and Dr. Sucharit Bakdi, MD in Corona, False Alarm? “One might suspect that the only political reason for enforcing the measure is to foster fear in the population.”
4. Totalitarian: “If you look at the history of totalitarian regimes… they all do the same thing, which is they try to crush culture, and crush any evidence of self-expression…” explains Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. in an interview regarding face masks. “And what is the ultimate vector for self-expression? It’s your facial expressions…. [Yet] we’ve all been told to put on the burqa and be obedient.”
5. Virtue-Signalling: “Masks are utterly useless,” testified Dr. Roger Hodkinson, a pathologist, certified with the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada, at a city council meeting. “…masks are simply virtue-signalling… It’s utterly ridiculous seeing these unfortunate, uneducated people — I’m not saying that in a pejorative sense — walking around like lemmings, obeying without any knowledge base, to put the mask on their face.”

Did Anchorage’s Emergency Orders work?
Let’s take a look at the numbers that matter. Cases alone are irrelevant, as testing is unreliable (lots of false positives because cycle thresholds were too high), and most people just have the sniffles. The important metrics are deaths and hospital capacity (which is what we were told in the beginning, that the intent behind mandates was to protect hospital capacity and save lives).
In Anchorage, with extremely restrictive orders, a mask mandate, and no in-person school, there have been 242.12 hospitalizations / 100,000 people and 55.2 deaths/ 100,000. (Using a population of 288,000)
In the Mat Su, which has had no health powers nor mandates in place since May, and kids in school since August, there have been 92.7 hospitalizations / 100,000 people and 32.7 / 100,000 people. (Using a population of 110,000)

Once you realize the personal ethical standards of policy makers like Dr Fauci and many of those at the CDC lead them to comfortably misrepresent scientific data in order to achieve public policy goals, it is not just your prerogative to question their “science,” it is your duty.

How far have the goal posts moved?
The words “vaccine” and “efficacious” have been redefined.
The words “died with” now mean the same thing as “died from.”
Uninflected people who can’t spread the virus are called monsters if they don’t cover their faces.
There’s no end date.

Facebook’s “fact check” claims that the virus particles don’t come through the mask because they’re always spread through respiratory droplets? No doubt, anything going around the mask gets out as if there were no mask, and if droplets do encounter the mask, trying to get through, if they didn’t evaporate and get through the mask, all masks would be soaking wet, dripping on the person from the massive amounts of water vapor people exhale.
Water vapors do go through the mask, just not in large, individual droplets, which cannot travel six feet anyway, when someone accidentally spits while talking, for example.
A doctor friend online who posted this video says “some of the Covid particles are not on droplets, but are free floating,” so are independent of droplets, and are tiny enough to go through the much larger fabric pores.
And regarding the particles that are on droplets, they can move through the mask material and be pushed out the other side with future exhalations that send water vapor away from the mask.

FREEDOM WINS IN COURT

Michigan Supreme Court Confirms Whitmer’s Orders Are Out
October 13, 2020
CBS Detroit – After the Michigan Supreme Court ruled that Governor Whitmer’s executive orders were unconstitutional under the 1945 Emergency Powers Act, the Governor appealed for clarification that she had a transition window until October 30 to work with the legislature before the court’s orders took effect.
Now Michigan’s highest court has spoken again and as reported by The Detroit News, ruled in a 6-1 decision that the orders had an immediate effect and denied her time to develop further legislation. …
The initial decision by the court ruled the 1945 Emergency Powers of the Governor Act was unconstitutional and “are of no continuing legal effect.” The 4-3 decision by Justices Markman, Zahra, Viviano, and Clement who represented the majority said the 1945 law gave legislative authority to the governor’s office.
Immediately after the October 2 ruling, the governor reissued mask and public gathering orders through the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services under state health statutes already on the books.
DOUBLE MASKING FOR DUMMIES
After Fauci admitted last week there’s no science to support “double masking,” the CDC has now officially ruled that wearing two masks can decrease exposure to infectious aerosols by up to 95%…after lab testing on dummies.
Masks start at minute-5:
So basically the many control trial, reliable RCT studies show no benefit. So those who push masks ignore them, and cite the biased observational studies that are full of errors. And 13 harmful effects from mask wearing are listed, which probably none of these studies researched.
The article states we’re in uncharted territory. This is a mass social experiment on humans for which the results are unknown and could be disastrous.

Masking: A Careful Review of the Evidence
– February 11, 2021
The question on whether to wear a face mask or not during the Covid-19 pandemic remains emotional and contentious. Why? This question about the utility of face coverings (which has taken on a talisman-like life) is now overwrought with steep politicization regardless of political affiliation (e.g. republican or liberal/democrat).
Importantly, the evidence just is and was not there to support mask use for asymptomatic people to stop viral spread during a pandemic. While the evidence may seem conflicted, the evidence (including the peer-reviewed evidence) actually does not support its use and leans heavily toward masks having no significant impact in stopping spread of the Covid virus.
In fact, it is not unreasonable at this time to conclude that surgical and cloth masks, used as they currently are, have absolutely no impact on controlling the transmission of Covid-19 virus, and current evidence implies that face masks can be actually harmful. All this to say and as so comprehensively documented by Dr. Roger W. Koops in a recent American Institute of Economic Research (AIER) publication, there is no clear scientific evidence that masks (surgical or cloth) work to mitigate risk to the wearer or to those coming into contact with the wearer, as they are currently worn in everyday life and specifically as we refer to Covid-19.
Study: Long-Term Mask Use May Contribute To Advanced Stage Lung Cancer

A recent study in the journal Cancer Discovery found that inhalation of harmful microbes can contribute to advanced stage lung cancer in adults. Long-term use of face masks may help breed these dangerous pathogens.
‘Maskne’: How To Prevent Acne Breakouts Due To Face Mask
Joshua Tresvalles 6/12/2020
As a result of the coronavirus pandemic, many of us have to wear a face mask when going out to lessen the chances of getting infected by COVID-19. At some point, you may have noticed some acne breakouts around your face caused by a sweaty, sticky feeling you get after wearing one. That feeling breeds pore-clogging, breakout-causing oil and bacteria. This effect, it turns out, is what is increasingly referred to as “maskne.”

Dr. Fauci Backtracks on Wearing Multiple Face Masks After Pushing It Just One Week Ago
On March, 8 2020 — Dr. Anthony Fauci advised healthy Americans against wearing face masks.
In April 2020 — The CDC said Americans should be wearing face masks for the COVID.
In May 2020 — Dr. Anthony Fauci and the New England Journal of Medicine have admitted that masks are little more than symbols. Virtue signaling.
On January 25, 2021 — Dr. Fauci told healthy Americans to wear two masks instead of one.
And now, one week later…
On January 31, 2021 —This weekend Dr. Fauci backtracked on that insane idea of wearing multiple masks.
