Mask mandates have a lousy record when it comes to stopping the spread of viruses, but there is growing evidence that they increase the chances that you’ll get them. And not just one. Doctors are reporting pediatric patients with as many as three viruses at once.
Thomas Murray, an infection-control expert and associate professor of pediatrics at Yale, told The Washington Post on Monday that his team was seeing children with combinations of seven common viruses – adenovirus, rhinovirus, respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), human metapneumovirus, influenza and parainfluenza, as well as the coronavirus.
Some children were admitted with two viruses and a few with three, he said.
‘That’s not typical for any time of year and certainly not typical in May and June,’ he said.
Experts say pandemic policies might be responsible, but no one in the source article is willing to blame mass masking. They suggest that preventing kids from exposure to everyday viruses makes immune systems ill-prepared to fight them when encountered. That has always been a concern, but that’s the only problem.
Masks don’t prevent the spread of viruses. Wearing one does not prevent exposure. They are not engineered to do that and never were. Neither do cloth masks nor, in many cases, better devices improperly used. What they can do is accumulate exhaled human “waste” in the form of bacteria and recycle that into the lungs with other trapped particulates. The deeper breathing required to get adequate oxygen while wearing a mask can embed these bits further into lung tissue, which presents the opportunity for more severe illness.
It creates fertile ground for something, including things to which they were not adequately exposed.
I’m not a doctor, but I’m not beholden to medical associations, corporate hospital systems, big Pharma, or serving at the will of politicians and bureaucrats who have an agenda and an approved narrative. And I can read, and have.
Trapping kids in masks for six or more hours a day can create the potential for unwanted side effects; Hypoxia, Hypercapnia, particulate vulnerabilities, microbial challenges, and now they are catching viruses in spring and early summer when that used to be rare. A problem some of the same experts are suggesting is the new normal.
It’s new, but it is not normal.
Mass masking any demographic, especially one with nothing to fear from COVID, is not normal. It’s extreme, and these are likely the consequences but don’t worry. They’ll blame it on something else, like climate change.
And that’s a hint. The cure to this and many problems that ail us is a change in “leadership,” prompting a shift in the political climate. An electoral vaccine that protects you from Donkey Pox. And yes, a booster is required (at least every two years), or you should expect to lose more than just your liberties.
