Masks

Whether you wear a mask or not is up to you.  It is a free country.  Or is it?

It is intriguing that influential leaders (USA’s NIAID / Dr. Fauci, CDC / Dr. Robert Redfield; mainstream media) initially said that non-95 masks would be useless in keeping the virus at bay, and then switched to say that face masks (homemade cloth, polypropylene surgical, dust masks were mandatory.  The science should speak for itself, but in reality, interpretation and communication of the science depends on the analyst and media, and it is surprising how polarized the analysis and advice can be especially when the decision-making is mandated to fit a political agenda or virtue signaling.

Masks can cause you harm through re-breathing your own air, possibly subjecting you to bacterial pneumonia.  (Ann Von Reitz/Dr. Fauci 2008 review of Spanish flu)

“We are completely removing decades worth of data for a political agenda.” Kristen Meghan (mark 19:27)

“Because it is an agenda of fear and control to social condition us.” Tammy Clark (mark 23:00)

“Using surgical masks as a form of personal protective equipment (PPE) may lead to adverse health effects.”  Eric Sanchez, “Filtration Efficiency of Surgical Masks” (mark 25:23)

“This idea of people thinking that they are doing something particularly useful with a cotton mask or a handkerchief or a homemade mask or a surgical mask is just looney tunes.” Minnesota Senator Scott Jensen, MD (mark 1:06)

“What’s happening there when we put a mask on?  “We are killing ourselves””.  Dr. Zach Bush (mark 1:03)

“Remember this: if you wear a face mask you are restricting your oxygen. You are increasing the amount of carbon dioxide that you are breathing back. The face masks themselves, they’ve already done studies on the face masks and you are breathing in the same stuff in and out so there is actually an increased amount of bacteria that accumulates from what you’re breathing.  The condensation from your breath is breaking down the polypropylene components of the face mask and then you’re breathing in those toxic components and creating an histotoxic hypoxic injury. You’re obviously becoming hypoxic from just not being able to get in fresh oxygen, but then you are also increasing your cortisol levels and that drives you into the flight/fight response which is a sympathomimetic overdrive and then that suppresses your immune system and these are all common things.  These are all easily proven published things.  You don’t have to be a rocket scientist to understand.”  Dr. Rashid Buttar (mark 1:41)

“Like building a chain link fence and trying to keep dust particles out.” Dr. Rashid Buttar (mark 3:23)

“When it’s too hot and humid, health experts advise against wearing a mask.”  (article)

Warning:  Wearing a mask for prolonged periods makes the wearer susceptible to bacterial pneumonia and mask mouth.  It was the secondary bacterial pneumonia and not the influenza virus itself that killed most of the people in the 1918 flu pandemic.  (article)   (article)   (article)

"I am following the events in Germany with growing concern, in Germany and worldwide, corona turned out to be a moderate flu and the measures are an absolute disaster on every level…Our health is greatly in our own hands, through good food, good water, a lot of movement, sociability, joy, friends love and lots and lots of fresh air…We can strengthen our immune system. Have you noticed something, exactly those things our governments have forbidden us….The much loved mouth and nose cover…the re-breathing of our exhaled air will without a doubt create oxygen deficiency and a flooding with carbon dioxide. But we know that the human brain is so sensitive to oxygen deprivation that our nerve cells for instance in the hippocampus who can’t be longer than 3 minutes without oxygen, they can’t survive. The acute warning symptoms air headaches, drowsiness, dizziness, concentration, slow down in concentration time…But chronic deprivation, all those symptoms disappear because people get used to it, but your efficiency will remain impaired. And oxygen undersupply in your brain continues to progress. We know that neurodegenerative diseases need years to decades. So if today you forget your phone number, the break-down in your brain already started 20 or 30 years ago.

While you’re thinking you have to get used to your mask and your own exhaled air, the degenerative processes in your brain are getting amplified through the oxygen deprivation…The second problem of the brain is the nerve cells are not really dividing themselves, so in case our government generously lets us go without masks…the lost nerve cells will no longer be regenerated, what is gone is gone. This is extremely important for fearful people who actually think that they are protecting themselves from the virus. The virus has approximately size of 0.0 micrometers, the pores of the regular masks have a size of 80 to 500 micrometers and are getting bigger though each washing. The common masks does not at all protect you from the virus. I do not wear a mask, I need my brain to think, I want to have a clear head…and not in a carbon dioxide anesthesia….Oxygen deprivation is dangerous for every single brain…

For children, masks are an absolute no no. Children and adolescents have an extremely active and adaptive immune system…Their brain is also insanely active and has so much to learn…The youth brain is thirsting for oxygen…In children…every organ is metabolically active, to deprive a child’s brain of oxygen, or even just to restrict this is absolutely criminal…The damage because of it cannot be reversed…We don’t need a clinical study for that, it is simple simple indisputable physiology…Conscious and purposefully induced oxygen deficiency is a deliberate…health hazard and an absolute medical contraindication….This therapy, this method, this measure should not be used, should not be allowed to be used. To use an absolute medical contraindication…by force…there must be definitely and serious reasons and they must be presented to competent in-disciplinary independent bodies to authorize this…"

IMPORTANT MASK INFORMATION

From Anna de Buisseret

The Government has FAILED to conduct a Risk Assessment of the risks to the individual members of the public for the harms caused to them by mask wearing- or wearing a face covering.

Without such a Risk Assessment, the individual is NOT providing “informed consent” to wear a “medical device” (which a mask is as defined under the Medical Devices Regulations 2002).

A face “covering” falls to be regulated under the Consumer Protection Regulations. The Face Coverings Regulations are therefore - prima facie - unlawful and should not be enforced.

In the view of our legal team, the Face Coverings Regulations are ultra vires the Government’s powers but that legal argument is ongoing.

None of the supermarkets are providing their customers with a Risk Assessment either - so their customers are also not able to provide their “informed consent” to wearing a face covering/mask.

This is unlawful as “informed consent” must be obtained.

Anyone being asked to wear or use a medical device - such as a mask - should be medically assessed by an Occupational Health team for their INDIVIDUAL risk posed to them by wearing a mask.

Failure to conduct a Health & Safety Risk assessment is both a civil and a potentially criminal offence.

Therefore both the Government and the supermarkets - and anyone else enforcing mask mandates in the absence of a full Health & Safety Risk assessment in the workplace -, is acting unlawfully and can be held PERSONALLY liable for the damage caused to the individual.

Legal challenges are already being run against the “mask perpetrators” to challenge this unlawful and harmful mask mandate and cases are already being won, and damages for harm caused paid out.

I’m a specialist disability discrimination lawyer who also has a stream of claimants lining up to bring legal claims for damages from this mask mandate. Countless people are being harmed by wearing a mask and others are being harmed from the discrimination they are enduring from being mask exempt.

The flood of litigation is going to be Tsunami-like!!! Be warned: perpetrators will be held to account.

Anyone enforcing or imposing this mandate should be warned that they are acting unlawfully and will be held personally liable for the harm they cause.

I advise anyone harmed by this mask mandate in a work environment (which supermarkets are) to file a report of your harm to the Health & Safety team and ask them to conduct an investigation into whether the employer or supermarket or other “mask perpetrator “ has conducted a valid H&S Risk Assessment.

The local council’s Environmental Health Officer is responsible for ensuring that commercial premises in their area are safe for the public. This includes whether it’s safe for the public to be forced to wear a face covering or mask whilst in a supermarket or other commercial premises. Without a full Risk Assessment, no one should be required or forced to wear a face covering or mask - it’s a breach of the Health & Safety laws and a potentially criminal offence.

If the employer or other “mask perpetrator “ hasn’t followed the law in forcing you to wear a mask, criminal investigations can follow under Health & Safety laws.

The Equality Act 2010 does not permit anyone to discriminate against a disabled person on the grounds of their disability.

Refusing entry to a shop or access to public services to a disabled person is prima facie disability discrimination. No evidence can be lawfully demanded. It’s a breach of both the right to privacy and the Equality Act 2010 to ask for medical evidence in this manner.

Masks worn by the public in community settings, do not prevent transmission of a virus particle as tiny as SARS-CoV-2: that’s what the scientific research evidence shows.

Masks can INCREASE the risk of transmission if not face-fitted and fit-tested for the individual wearer as leakage occurs.
