DANGERS OF FACE MASKS

PDF OF LETTER - Engineered nanomaterials in masks claimed as protection against COVID-19

We write to urge you to use your authorities and competencies to ban the import and sale of medical masks and civilian equivalents in the United States and its territories that incorporate certain nanoscale materials.

Imports of Shengquan Group masks – Shengquan masks incorporating nanographene “heal fiber”are not always advertised as such, so it is impossible to determine what percentage of the masks incorporate nanographene.

Recent events concerning masks that incorporate antimicrobial nanomaterials provide evidence of the urgent need for you to take precautionary actions for imported masks that have not undergone pre-market safety reviews and post-market surveillance.

On April 2,HealthCanada issued an advisory, “Face masks that contained graphene may pose health risks” due to the inhalation of nano-scale graphene particles.

On April 6, five weeks after Belgian authorities recalled masks containing nano-scale titanium dioxide and silver particles, four European and Canadian non-governmental organizations wrote to the President of the European Union Commission, the European Parliament, the Executive Director of European Chemical Safety, and the Commissioner of the Directorate General of Health and Food Safety to urge them to ban the import and sale (physical or electronically mediated) of the masks labeled as containing nanographene or biomass graphene.

On April 13, the city of Nancy and Nancy urban district in France recalled millions of products containing nanographene, following Canadian authorities’ decision.

On April 15, the Spanish Agency for Medicines and Health Products issued a report calling for the cessation of marketing and use of graphene IIR surgical masks manufactured by Shandong Shenquan New Materials Co. Ltd, China.

We believe that the scientists in your agencies are fully aware of thepotential toxicity of nanosilver, nanocopper and nanographene as used in masks. Still, we would point you to a 2018 review of studies on the toxicity of nanographene in ACS Nano. The authors conclude that “based on the scarce available evidence, it cannot be excluded that some forms of graphene will be as potent a toxicant as carbon nanotubes”.

Grey and blue SNN200642 masks should no longer be used, warn Quebec and Ottawa: Radio-Canada has obtained documents showing Health Canada warned of the potential for "early pulmonary toxicity" from the SNN200642 masks which are made in China and sold and distributed by Métallifer, a Quebec-based manufacturer.**

Belgium gave pharmacists 15 million Toxic Facemasks:

It's best to use precaution and not fall for all the "protection hype"

(Especially because the so-called experts can't prove masking offers any real protection; but many experts say face-masks are in fact dangerous – see list of Defending-Gibraltar Posts below).

It looks like face-masks mandates are coming back:

Mask-Mandates and Contact Tracing RE-IMPLEMENTED in Schools and Businesses Across the U.S.

Reports out of the United States confirm the rumours: Covid restrictions are coming back. Businesses, Local government institutions and college campuses across the U.S. are imposing mask-mandates and contact tracing right now.

Incredibly, the new measures are being imposed despite there being no new cases of the virus reported. T he Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported Monday that Morris Brown College, a black private liberal arts college, has reinstated the measures as part of a “precautionary step.” Continues.

"This study is the first RCT of cloth masks, and the results caution against the use of cloth masks. This is an important finding to inform occupational health and safety. Moisture retention, reuse of cloth masks and poor filtration may result in increased risk of infection. Further research is needed to inform the widespread use of cloth masks globally. However, as a precautionary measure, cloth masks should not be recommended for HCWs, particularly in high-risk situations, and guidelines need to be updated.” A cluster randomised trial of cloth masks compared with medical masks in healthcare workers - PMC

Cloth masks can increase infection
Advice on the use of masks in the community, during home care and in healthcare settings in the context of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak From the WHO: There is limited evidence that wearing a medical mask by healthy individuals in the households or among contacts of a sick patient, or among attendees of mass gatherings may be beneficial as a preventive measure.14-23 However, there is currently no evidence that wearing a mask (whether medical or other types) by healthy persons in the wider community setting, including universal community masking, can prevent them from infection with respiratory viruses, including COVID-19.

Prolonged wearing of the surgical mask causes loss of intellect potential and cognitive performance due to a decrease in blood oxygen and subsequent brain hypoxia.

COVID masks linked to cancer and seizures, says NIH

But a study quietly re-shared by the National Institutes of Health in spring suggests the tight-fitting mask may expose users to dangerous levels of toxic chemicals.

Researchers from Jeonbuk National University in South Korea looked at two types of disposable medical-grade masks, as well as several reusable cotton masks.

The study found that the chemicals released by these masks had eight times the recommended safety limit of toxic volatile organic compounds (TVOCs).

Inhaling TVOCs has been linked to health issues like headaches and nausea, while prolonged and repeated has been linked to organ damage and even cancer.

Study Shows: Mask-Induced Exhaustion Syndrome May Be Misinterpreted as “Long COVID”

Mask-induced exhaustion syndrome (MIES) may have been misinterpreted as “long-term COVID”...

The research scientists of a systematic review, argue that the effectiveness of masks in all healthcare settings was debatable even before 2020 (source, source). In 2020, many scientists and leaders started to believe that the use of masks could also provide protection against viral transmission, although evidence for the effectiveness of this measure was only weak (source).

... the question needs to be addressed as to the long-term effects widespread mask-wearing may have on normal breathing.

Just recently we have been observing individuals who have been calling for a return of the facemasks to “prevent the transmission of Eris, or EG.5.1, a new “wave” of the yet-to-be-isolated virus. For example:

In the UK – the Independent cited Dr Trisha Greenhalgh, a University of Oxford healthcare expert and also an Independent Sage (iSage) member, who wrote on social media: “My various science WhatsApp groups are buzzing… I understand little of the detail, but it looks like it’s once again time to MASK UP.” (source)

The research concludes “This systematic review comprehensively revealed ample evidence for multiple adverse physio-metabolic and clinical outcomes of medical face masks, with worse outcomes in the case of N95 masks. This can have long-term clinical consequences, especially for vulnerable groups e.g., children, pregnant, older adults, and the ill.”

Norwegian Researchers Find Masks Linked With Covid Infections

A new peer-reviewed study by Norwegian researchers has recently been published titled “Association between Face mask use and Risk of SARS-CoV-2 Infection – Cross-sectional study”. In case you didn’t already know, a cross-sectional study “is a type of observational study that analyses data from a population, or a representative subset, at a specific point in time”, in this case early 2022. However, the data were collected during an RCT of wearing glasses. So what kind of association did they find?

We examined the association between face masks and risk of infection with SARS-CoV-2 using cross-sectional data from 3,209 participants in a randomized trial of using glasses to reduce the risk of infection with SARS-CoV-2. Face mask use was based on participants’ response to the end-of-follow-up survey. We found that the incidence of self-reported COVID-19 was 33% (aRR 1.33; 95% CI 1.03 – 1.72) higher in those wearing face masks often or sometimes, and 40% (aRR 1.40; 95% CI 1.08 – 1.82) higher in those wearing face masks almost always or always, compared to participants who reported wearing face masks never or almost never.

The Gibraltar Hospital recently announced that anyone entering has to mask up - despite real science saying they don't work.

Now Spain has mandated masks - and me thinks it's a bit of punishment for those who didn't get jabbed and a bit of fearmongering - as it reads below:

The measures have been proposed by the Health Department in the face of the increase in Covid and flu infections. According to data, the percentage of people testing positive for Covid has increased by 14 per cent and influenza infections are up by 20 per cent.

The spike in respiratory infections coincides with lower flu and coronavirus vaccinations. The Ministry of Health recently released data on the number of people who have been vaccinated. Only 60 per cent of people over the age of 80 had received the injection, whereas in the worst years of the pandemic this percentage was almost 100 per cent.

The figure is even lower in patients aged 70-79 (47 per cent) and in those aged 60-69, as only 27 per cent of Spaniards in this age group have been vaccinated. “The 60-69 age group clearly does not see itself as a vulnerable population and this is being noticed,” said Jaime Pérez, president of the Spanish Vaccination Association (AEV). The organisation launched a campaign at the beginning of the season to encourage the population to get immunised.

What are the results of the review?

Medical or surgical masks

Seven studies took place in the community, and two studies in healthcare workers. Compared with wearing no mask, wearing a mask may make little to no difference in how many people caught a flu-like illness (9 studies; 3507 people); and probably makes no difference in how many people have flu confirmed by a laboratory test (6 studies; 3005 people). Unwanted effects were rarely reported, but included discomfort.

N95/P2 respirators

Four studies were in healthcare workers, and one small study was in the community. Compared with wearing medical or surgical masks, wearing N95/P2 respirators probably makes little to no difference in how many people have confirmed flu (5 studies; 8407 people); and may make little to no difference in how many people catch a flu-like illness (5 studies; 8407 people) or respiratory illness (3 studies; 7799 people). Unwanted effects were not well reported; discomfort was mentioned.

Mask mania claims a little boy’s life

The incident took place on January 24, despite the fact that mask mandates related to childcare in Taiwan were lifted over a year ago.

The details are harrowing but nevertheless instructive, showing just how effective brainwashing regarding face masks has been...

However, the mask maniacs in the newspapers of record probably consider that no bad news about face masks is permitted, even if the masks were being used inappropriately.

Face masks are far from safe.

But face masks have always been a con and the cost in the United Kingdom alone during the covid years was £252million. Many of them were considered faulty and remain unused.

The evidence of the dangers in wearing face masks and the abject stupidity of policymakers who would insist, at any time, in inflicting them on children is clear.

Forcing people to wear masks has been a failure of public health’ and ‘the reason we are still having the mask debate is because authorities relied on trash studies to justify their use, and wanted to appear as if they were doing something. In a crisis, it is always more difficult to do nothing.’
