Will we one day view masking children as akin to giving them, as was once done, radium candy? It increasingly seems so, and now yet another study has found that putting kids in masks to prevent COVID-19 is not only unnecessary, but highly dangerous to their health.
Mask wearing to prevent SARS-CoV-2 contraction is an article of COVID Ritual faith among many and is still encouraged, if not mandated, by “health” authorities far and wide. This is despite indications that masks can become as pathogen-laden Petri dishes on people’s faces, that they can restrict oxygen intake, and that wearers may be inhaling unhealthful plastic microparticles from them. Now we hear about serious research out of Germany and Poland on one of these perils: dangerously high mask-induced carbon dioxide levels in children.
Fox News commentator Tucker Carlson reported on this story Thursday night. Mentioning that there’s no good reason to mask children in the first place, he related, citing scientific journal The Lancet, that “COVID-19 is a generally mild disease in children, including infants.”
The journal is “right,” the host continued. “More kids die in pool drownings every year than have died from COVID so far; according to the latest federal numbers, just .06% of all COVID fatalities in this country have been Americans aged 18 and under.”
Moreover, the CDC itself stated last October that people aged 0 to 19 who contract the coronavirus have a 99.997 percent chance of survival, and research out of Newcastle University in London and elsewhere shows that the disease is notably less dangerous to children than is the flu.
Carlson then played clips of mainstream media and their “medical experts” claiming that, nonetheless, kids should still wear masks. But they were denying science and should know better — and just may. They’re also complicit in “a human tragedy … on a vast scale,” stated Carlson, one that’s “a living testament to the recklessness of our leaders.” He then continued:
A new study on masks and children has been conducted by actual researchers in Germany and Poland, and it was just published in JAMA Pediatrics, the premier peer-reviewed pediatric medical journal in the world. That study confirms that masking children wasn’t simply unnecessary and probably counterproductive. Masking children was legitimately dangerous for the children.
In the study, researchers asked forty-five kids between the ages of six and 17 to wear face masks for a very short period of time in a controlled environment. Within just three minutes, they found that kids were inhaling carbon dioxide up to more than six times the acceptable limit for adults. The younger the children, the higher the concentration of carbon dioxide.
Almost immediately after putting a mask on a seven-year-old, that kid’s carbon dioxide level was 25,000 parts per million. How much is that? Well, it’s more than twice the level considered hazardous for adults in workplaces in this country.
For example, the Minnesota Department of Health posted this guideline, “The average concentration of carbon dioxide over an eight hour period should not exceed 10,000 parts per million.”
That kid had 25,000 parts per million, and keep in mind, the guidance is for an eight-hour period. This study found far higher concentrations in just minutes after putting on a mask. Imagine a full school day and what it would do to a child. How about a full year of full school days? Think about that. It’s horrifying.
And the effects are measurable and have been for a while. But they’ve been ignored. One large-scale survey of 25,000 children conducted in Germany found [that] the overwhelming majority of kids reported adverse effects from wearing face masks; some of them were serious. The effects included hypercapnia, which is excessive C02 in the bloodstream.
…And then many of the symptoms included profound cognitive impairment, confusion, loss of consciousness, and asphyxiation.
You don’t have to tell this to Oregon high school runner Maggie Williams. She was forced to wear a mask while competing, felt unable to breathe, and then collapsed at a race’s finish line (video below).
(By the way, how come “I can’t breathe!” only becomes a rallying cry in deference to criminals?)
Carlson makes the point that the medical authorities should have known the dangers of widespread mask wearing (video below). After all, he related, there was a huge study out of Vietnam in 2015 already showing that cloth masks may increase the risk of infection, and he stated that Anthony Fauci admitted in his private emails that mask-wearing was useless.
Carlson correctly points out that you didn’t have to be a doctor, scientist, or a genius to know that masking children was cruel folly. We’ve known almost from the China virus situation’s beginning that the disease does not imperil kids, and I and others warned a year ago already of the dangers of widespread masking (see here, here, here, and here).
Really, this is just common sense. Would you give your kid chemotherapy even though he didn’t have cancer? No medical intervention is justifiable — no cure is wise — if there’s no disease threat.
Of course, some will ask, “Why do medical personnel wear masks if it’s counterproductive?” But there’s a big difference between a hypothetical person (responsible and trained) wearing a hypothetical mask (N-95) in a hypothetical way (disinfected and fitted) for a limited period of time, and prescribing widespread mask use for the general population.
Our pseudo-elites are guilty of gross malpractice, and if they continue mandating tyrannical irrationality, “there may be a revolution,” states Carlson (well, maybe if people can transition from ovis aries to brave homo sapiens). “These people are too incompetent, too nasty, too selfish, and too stupid to lead this country.”
Of course, though, that all depends on where you want it led. The abyss is a destination, too.
