I happen to know a thing or two about masks and safety.<\/p>\n
Why? Because for 25 years I was the editor of an award-winning trade magazine called HazMat Management that covered such topics as pollution prevention and compliance with health & safety laws.<\/p>\n
We routinely published articles on masks, gloves, respirators and other forms of personal protective equipment (PPE).<\/p>\n
Now let me tell you a few things about that mask you\u2019re wearing.<\/p>\n
And please note that what I\u2019m about to share was also stated in the most recent edition of Del Bigtree\u2019s program The Highwire when two OSHA mask experts spoke to the fact that the kinds of masks people are wearing were never (never!) designed to be worn for long periods and doing so is very harmful.<\/p>\n
The blue typical mask depicted in the photograph contain Teflon and other chemicals.<\/p>\n
A Facebook friend reminds us:<\/p>\n
1. Masks are \u201csterilized\u201d with Ethylene Oxide \u2014 a known carcinogen. Many teachers in various school boards have been experiencing significant symptoms as a direct result of the effects of this chemical.<\/p>\n
2. The masks contain (not sprayed with) PTFE which makes up Teflon along with other chemicals. I found and have posted the US patent to allow manufacturers to use PTFE as a filter in commercial masks\u2026 \u201cbreathing these for extended periods can lead to lung cancer.\u201d<\/p>\n
Don\u2019t agree? Argue with the experts at OSHA, which is the main US agency, i.e., its Occupational Health & Safety Agency.<\/p>\n
These masks are meant to be worn only for short periods, like say if you\u2019re sanding a table for an hour and don\u2019t want to inhale sawdust.<\/p>\n
They don\u2019t do anything whatsoever to stop the spread of any virus, and the emerging science of virology now understands that viruses aren\u2019t even passed person to person.<\/p>\n
I know that sounds incredible, but it\u2019s the case that the virus is in the air, you breath it in, there\u2019s no way to prevent that short of living in an oxygen tent, and if you have a strong immune system you\u2019ll be fine, and if you have a weak immune system you may have to deal with the effects of your immune system working to restore balance within your metabolism.<\/p>\n
So let\u2019s say you don\u2019t wear the blue packaged masks, and instead wear a homemade cloth mask \u2014 the kind people wear over and over and hang on their rearview mirror and so on.<\/p>\n
Those masks are completely useless against a virus, and are also very dangerous. OSHA would never condone a person wearing a mask of this kind for anything more than the shortest time.<\/p>\n
Re-breathing your own viral debris is dangerous to health, and the oxygen deprivation children suffer wearing such masks all day will certainly cause brain damage.<\/p>\n
I\u2019m not making this up. Again, you might say, well, Guy, you\u2019re not a doctor.<\/p>\n
True, but I did edit that magazine for 25 years. That\u2019s a long time and many articles on masks and PPE. I\u2019ve attended numerous OH&S conferences and listened to experts discussing these matters.<\/p>\n
You may hear people saying that surgeons and nurses wear masks like this all day.<\/p>\n
Um, no. No they don\u2019t.<\/p>\n
They\u2019re trained in the proper use of masks, which is to wear them in the OR, then dispose of the mask when they leave that room.<\/p>\n
Are you aware that operating rooms are actually supplied extra oxygen, to compensate for the reduction in oxygen flow from mask wearing?<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
To my mind, it\u2019s criminal (not hyperbole) to force children to wear masks all day. Setting aside the very real psychological effects, we\u2019re going to have a generation of brain damaged children.<\/p>\n
Ever heard the expression, \u201cNot enough oxygen at birth?\u201d That\u2019s a joke at the expense of a mentally challenged person, but that\u2019s literally what we\u2019re doing.<\/p>\n
And we\u2019re told it\u2019s to \u201ckeep us safe\u201d! We\u2019re told this by doctors who actually don\u2019t know about PPE and laypeople who have no clue.<\/p>\n
So, you can choose to believe me or not, but I was the editor for a quarter century of a magazine that had a strong occupational health and safety mandate, and I can tell you that the mask wearing currently mandated by governments and private businesses offers no health benefit whatsoever, in no way protects you or anyone else from any virus, and actually does you damage beyond wearing it for a few minutes.<\/p>\n
Got that? Good. Now please share this message and get the conversation going with parents, who must end this masking of children immediately.<\/p>\n
This is a very serious matter. And related to that, let me just state this doesn\u2019t end for me when the lockdown ends or the masking ends.<\/p>\n
No, this ends for me when every politician and bureaucrat who inflicted this travesty, this crime against humanity, on the population of Canada (and other affected countries) is in the dock, and faces their misdeeds in a court of law.<\/p>\n
And as for those of you who have put masks on young children, I will have a long memory on that score. A very long memory.<\/p>\n
END NOTE: The CDC and WHO have acknowledged that asymptomatic people do not spread the virus, so the case for masks for such people is moot in the first place.<\/p>\n
