We know that wearing a mask outside health care facilities offers little, if any, protection from infection. Public health authorities define a significant exposure to Covid-19 as face-to-face contact within 6 feet with a patient with symptomatic Covid-19 that is sustained for at least a few minutes (and some say more than 10 minutes or even 30 minutes). The chance of catching Covid-19 from a passing interaction in a public space is therefore minimal. In many cases, the desire for widespread masking is a reflexive reaction to anxiety over the pandemic.
A mask alone will not prevent health care workers with early Covid-19 from contaminating their hands and spreading the virus to patients and colleagues. Focusing on universal masking alone may, paradoxically, lead to more transmission of Covid-19 if it diverts attention from implementing more fundamental infection-control measures [like taking vitamins D and C plus zinc – editor].
It is also clear that masks serve symbolic roles. Masks are not only tools, they are also talismans that may help increase health care workers’ perceived sense of safety, well-being, and trust in their hospitals.
So instead of recommending what actually does protect people from Covid (vitamins D and C plus zinc), Big Pharma pushes masks, giving people a false sense of protection, which Big Pharma admits can “lead to more transmission,” spreading covid by contaminating their hands each time they touch their masks and don’t wash them.
A 25-years nurse said in her experience, doctors and nurses do not wash their hands after touching their masks. And certainly, the public being mandated to wear masks will also mostly not. And the public rarely change out their masks, wearing the same moist, bacteria laden device over and over, or for entire 8-hour shifts, making them even more bacterial and virus laden than the masks discussed in this journal.

What if millions of medical diagnoses, procedures, and treatments were based on, at best, questionable scientific evidence, but still performed daily, the world over, in the name of saving patients lives or reducing their suffering? A new JAMA review indicates this may be exactly what is happening.
‘Mask mouth’: Dentists coin new term for smelly side effect of wearing a mask
8/10/20
The new oral hygiene issue — caused by, you guessed it, wearing a mask all the time to prevent the spread of the coronavirus — is leading to all kinds of dental disasters like decaying teeth, receding gum lines and seriously sour breath. …
“We’re seeing inflammation in people’s gums that have been healthy forever, and cavities in people who have never had them before,” says Dr. Rob Ramondi, a dentist and co-founder of One Manhattan Dental. “About 50% of our patients are being impacted by this, [so] we decided to name it ‘mask mouth’ — after ‘meth mouth.’ ” …
While mask mouth isn’t quite as obvious, if left untreated, the results could be equally harmful.
“Gum disease — or periodontal disease — will eventually lead to strokes and an increased risk of heart attacks,” says Dr. Marc Sclafani, another co-founder of One Manhattan Dental.
He says the stinky syndrome is triggered by face coverings since wearing a mask increases the dryness of the mouth — and a buildup of bad bacteria.
“People tend to breathe through their mouth instead of through their nose while wearing a mask,” says Sclafani. “The mouth breathing is causing the dry mouth, which leads to a decrease in saliva — and saliva is what fights the bacteria and cleanses your teeth.” …
People’s tendency to drink less water while masked up, as well as consume more coffee and alcohol during lockdown, have also added to the widespread dehydration he’s seeing.
“The fact that we’re constantly adjusting and touching it means that we’re actually at risk of becoming infected at a greater rate than not wearing a mask at all. That’s what the science says.” – Ben Swann
“There are studies that show that wearing a mask when you have cancer is terrible for you because cancer thrives in a low oxygen setting, and does poorly when there is more oxygen in your system.” – Ben Swann
5 NIH studies from 2004-2020 all finding verifiable health effects from wearing a face mask, including scientifically verified reduction in blood oxygen level:
“The darker the colored skin, the more slowly the vitamin D is produced. The reason I bring this up is because it can save people’s lives….” – Dr. John Campbell
About 42% of the US population is vitamin D deficient 82% in black people 70% in Hispanics
RDA amount minimum enough to not get Rickets. We want optimum. John takes 2,000 iu/day
Adam and Eve were dark skinned. Whites happened over time to make vitamin D more quickly in northern climates.
Vitamin D is an immunomodulator: turns down the immune system not attack the body and turns it up to attack viruses. Cytokine storm.
Association with low blood levels of 25-hydroxyvitamin D Several immune-related diseases and disorders: Psoriasis, Type 1 diabetes Multiple sclerosis Rheumatoid arthritis Tuberculosis Sepsis (cytokine storm) Respiratory infection COVID-19
A reference nutrient intake (RNI) of 10 micrograms (400 units) of vitamin D per day, throughout the year, for everyone in the general population aged 4 years and older
The RNI and safe intakes were developed to ensure that the majority of the UK population has enough vitamin D to protect musculoskeletal health, all year round.
SACN did not take account of sunlight exposure in making recommendations because of the number and complexity of factors that affect skin synthesis of vitamin D.

Worldwide on average approximately 40% of children and adults have circulating levels of 25(OH)D less than 20 ng/mL (50 nmol/L)
It is therefore reasonable to institute as a standard of care to give at least one single dose of 50,000 of vitamin D to all COVID-19 patients as soon as possible after being hospitalized
Members of the public could be putting themselves more at risk from contracting coronavirus by wearing face masks, one of England’s most senior doctors has warned.

SOY INFANT FORMULA – BIRTH CONTROL PILLS FOR BABIES
Babies fed soy-based formula have 13,000 to 22,000 times more estrogen compounds in their blood than babies fed milk-based formula. Infants exclusively fed soy formula receive the estrogenic equivalent of at least five birth control pills per day.
New Research Study of Vaccinated and Unvaccinated Children in Three U.S. Medical Practices
PR Newswire
REDDING, Calif., June 1, 2020
Results indicate better health outcomes of developmental delays, asthma, and ear infections in children who did not receive vaccines within their first year of life
REDDING, Calif., June 1, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — A new peer-reviewed study in the journal SAGE Open Medicine detailing the health outcomes of vaccinated versus unvaccinated children concludes that unvaccinated children have better health outcomes than their vaccinated peers within the conditions examined and suggests that further study is necessary to understand the full spectrum of health effects associated with vaccination.
Dr. Richard Bartlett is using an inhaled steroid to treat Covid-19 plus zinc, and has a 100% success rate; though, has a small number of covid patients. “What I’m using is Budesonide, it’s an inhaled steroid that doesn’t have the side effects of total body steroids but it has the benefits.”
He says it’s the main reason why Japan, Taiwan, Singapore and Iceland have had so few deaths. [What about vitamins A, C and D there, and the minerals selenium, zinc and iodine? Not mentioned. Icelanders are probably especially good at taking enough vitamin D. The Japanese people are so healthy, eating vitamin and mineral rich foods that few died after getting hit with severe radiation from Fukushima.]
“A rapidly mutating virus: a vaccine is not going to be the solution. 243 mutations in a study in Ireland, already.”

Dr. Jeffrey Barke: masks do lower O2 pulse oximeter readings in healthy people — when exercising, by a lot. Masks don’t work. Not much worse than a bad flu. Children less affected than flu and should be in schools with no masks. HCQ works. Writing a book, “Covid-19: My Prescription For Liberty!”
“Dr. Jeffrey Barke: Cases are rising, but the fatality rate is dropping. The average age of new cases is 31—fatality is so low for that age group that it’s hard to even calculate.
Host: “By wearing a mask, you could be putting yourself at even more risk.”
Doctor: “an illusion of protection.” “People don’t use their masks correctly. They play with it. They wear it too long. They rub their nose underneath it.”
GrassrootsHealth recently conducted a review of an observational study involving 212 patients who had COVID-19, identifying a correlation between vitamin D levels and disease severity. Those with the mildest disease had the highest vitamin D levels, and vice versa
A second study [ from Indonesia] found those with a vitamin D level between 20 ng/mL and 30 ng/mL had a sevenfold higher risk of death than those with a level above 30 ng/mL. Having a level below 20 ng/mL was associated with a 12 times higher risk of death, compared to having a level above 30 ng/mL
The color of your skin has correlations to your vitamin D level, and we’re also seeing racial disparities in COVID-19. In Detroit, Michigan, where blacks account for 14% of the population, they account for 40% of COVID-19 deaths
It’s important for people with darker skin to realize that the more melanin you have, the more sun exposure you require to make sufficient amounts of vitamin D, and many may need to take a supplement
According to the research done by GrassrootsHealth’s panel of 48 vitamin D researchers, 40 ng/mL is the lower edge of optimal, with 60 ng/mL to 80 ng/mL being ideal for health and disease prevention
People have PTSD, have been mass traumatized from the long-term isolation, force-quarantine, while being fed fear-porn disinformation 24/7: “Be afraid, be afraid.” Many are in fight-or-flight, in the fetal position, lashing out. Concerns about the economy compounds the fear.
7:15 Her lungs are permanently damage from not wearing a mask correctly as a painter.
8:00 Doctors and nurses have been trained how to wear masks correctly: change them every hour; don’t touch them at all. Dr. Cutler, their director of health said people are not wearing masks correctly, which leads to more health risks than not, and masks give people a false sense of security.
She’s been attacked by the media for telling the truth, and has lost many friends simply for telling the truth.
