against the face to be breathed in or cause infections on the face as
we have seen with many children. ‘Viral particles’, however, would
never have been picked up by the camera as they came through the
mask when they are far too small to be seen. The ‘experiment’ was
therefore disingenuous and useless.
Studies have concluded that wearing masks in operating theatres
(and thus elsewhere) make no difference to preventing infection
while the opposite is true with toxic shite building up in the mask
and this had led to an explosion in tooth decay and gum disease
dubbed by dentists ‘mask mouth’. You might have seen the Internet
video of a furious American doctor urging people to take off their
masks a er a four-year-old patient had been rushed to hospital the
night before and nearly died with a lung infection that doctors
sourced to mask wearing. A study in the journal Cancer Discovery
found that inhalation of harmful microbes can contribute to
advanced stage lung cancer in adults and long-term use of masks
can help breed dangerous pathogens. Microbiologists have said
frequent mask wearing creates a moist environment in which
microbes can grow and proliferate before entering the lungs. The
Canadian Agency for Drugs and Technologies in Health, or CADTH,
a Canadian national organisation that provides research and
analysis to healthcare decision-makers, said this as long ago as 2013
in a report entitled ‘Use of Surgical Masks in the Operating Room: A
Review of the Clinical Effectiveness and Guidelines’. It said:
• No evidence was found to support the use of surgical face masks
to reduce the frequency of surgical site infections
• No evidence was found on the effectiveness of wearing surgical
face masks to protect staff from infectious material in the
operating room.
• Guidelines recommend the use of surgical face masks by staff in
the operating room to protect both operating room staff and
patients (despite the lack of evidence).
