Mask
wearers of the world, take them off—you have nothing to lose but your insanity…
Journal of the American Medical
Association, April 17, 2020, “Masks and Coronavirus Disease”: “Unless you are
sick, a health care worker, or caring for someone who has COVID-19, medical
masks (including surgical face masks and N95s) are not recommended.”
At
Children’s Health Defense, JB Handley has written an excellent article,
“LOCKDOWN LUNACY: The Thinking Person’s Guide.” Here are two highlights from
his section on masks:
“May
29, the World Health Organization announced that masks should only be worn by
healthy people if they are taking care of someone infected with COVID-19:”
“’If you do not have any
respiratory symptoms such as fever, cough or runny nose, you do not need to
wear a mask,’ Dr. April Baller, a public health specialist for the WHO, says in
a video on the world health body’s website posted in March. ‘Masks should only
be used by healthcare workers, caretakers or by people who are sick with
symptoms of fever and cough’.”
“…I
often see this study from 2015 in the BMJ cited: ‘A cluster randomised trial of
cloth masks compared with medical masks in healthcare workers’, and it bears
repeating, since MOST of the masks I see people wearing in the community right
now are cloth masks. Not only are these masks 100% ineffective at reducing the
spread of COVID-19, but they can actually harm you. As the researchers
explain:”
“’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…’”
Of
course, I understand that when people are conspiracy whackos wearing their
masks, they don’t respond well to facts, even when those facts come from the
very organizations they believe in with religious fervor.
Here
is something else from the Washington State Nurses Association: “Reprocessing
masks using toxic chemicals is not a solution”:
“Nurses are reporting that
respirators and face masks at WSNA repre-sented Providence facilities are being
collected for reprocessing using ethylene oxide to decontaminate. The EPA has
concluded that ethylene oxide is carcinogenic to humans and that exposure to
ethylene oxide increases the risk of lymphoid cancer and, for females, breast
cancer.”
“WSNA
sent a cease and desist demand to Providence facilities where our members work,
demanding an immediate halt to the reusing of any face masks, including N 95
and other respirators, that have been decontaminated by the ethylene oxide
cleaning process. In addition, WSNA is preparing complaints to be filed with
the Washington State Department of Occupational Safety and Health, highlighting
this workplace hazard.”
“WSNA
believes that the reuse of face masks or respirators cleaned with ethylene
oxide violates the employer’s legal duty to ensure that nurses and other health
care workers are afforded a safe and healthful working environment. While
hospitals have long used ethylene oxide to clean certain surgical equipment, it
should not be used to decontami-nate face masks or respirators, through which
nurses and other health care workers must breathe for many hours at a time.”
“…The
CDC warns that ethylene oxide is carcinogenic and teratogenic, and that
‘inhalation of ethylene oxide has been linked to neurologic dysfunction and may
cause other harmful effects to the wearer’.”
“Prolonged exposure to
ethylene oxide can hurt eyes and LUNGS, harm the brain and nervous system, and
potentially cause lymphomas, leukemia, and breast cancer. This extremely
hazardous toxic chemical poses a severe risk to human health.” [CAPS are mine.]
Is
the use of toxic ethylene oxide to treat masks widespread? According to the
Chicago Tribune, way back in March, Medline Industries was reprocessing 100,000
medical masks a day. They applied to the FDA for permission to use ethylene
oxide. But wasn’t the horse already out of the barn? Weren’t they already using
the chemical? I’ve queried Medline to find out whether the FDA has approved
their application.
And
finally, I have a lone report about a person from the region of Piedmont,
Italy, who checked out his medical mask, which he’d received in the mail from
the Department of Civil Protection. He discovered it contained zinc pyrithione.
If
true, this is ominous. Consulting a simple safety data sheet on the chemical,
from Cayman Chemical, I found a succinct statement: “Toxic if inhaled.”
But of course, medical masks must be worn.
The lockdown authorities tell us so. They know. They must know because, well,
they’re on television.
Keep
breathing through that mask. It’s “safe and effective.”
