Yep, i said that before anyone and was mocked back when most here still believed they were effective . I said all along not only were they ineffective but were not safe and there would be lawsuits from employees who were required to wear masks for prolonged periods.
It seems like the hits just won’t stop for masks lately. The Daily Mail UK ran an explosive story yesterday headlined, “EXCLUSIVE: Face Masks May Raise Risk of Stillbirths, Testicular Dysfunction and Cognitive Decline Due to Build-Up of Carbon Dioxide, Study Warns.”
A new German study published in the Journal Heliyon concluded that because masks create a pocket of dead space between the mouth and mask, the void traps carbon dioxide, at levels that are mildly toxic when worn over long periods. According to the researchers, repeated exposure can raise the risk of a long list of serious problems including stillbirths, low sperm production, cognitive impairment, and permanent mental declines in children.
The study explained that for comparison, fresh air has around 0.04% CO₂, while wearing masks for more than 5 minutes causes chronic exposure to carbon dioxide of between 1.41% to 3.2% of mask-filtered air.
To put it in terms leftists can understand: masks create little individual, personal climate change spaces.
Another way to look at these results is, for men, long term masking is equivalent to punching themselves right in the family jewels, over and over and over.
The researchers identified the shocking health risks by rounding up a large number of other studies. For example, one study cited by the German researchers found that just 0.3% of prolonged CO₂ exposure to pregnant rats and young mice caused permanent brain damage, heightened anxiety levels and memory problems. Another study found male mice exposed to 2.5% of CO₂ for four hours — equal to 0.5% in humans — led to destruction of testicle cells and sperm. A third study found that 3% of CO₂ (equal to 0.8% in humans) in pregnant rats led to stillbirth and birth defects.
