science … By their obscene non-logic, a scientific review of science articles reporting on

harms caused by face masks has a ‘potential to cause harm’. No criticism of the psychological

device (face masks) is tolerated, if the said criticism shows potential to influence public policy.

This is what happens in a fascist world.

Where are the ‘greens’ (again)?

Other dangers of wearing masks especially regularly relate to the

inhalation of minute plastic fibres into the lungs and the deluge of

discarded masks in the environment and oceans. Estimates

predicted that more than 1.5 billion disposable masks will end up in

the world’s oceans every year polluting the water with tons of plastic

and endangering marine wildlife. Studies project that humans are

using 129 billion face masks each month worldwide – about three

million a minute. Most are disposable and made from plastic, nonbiodegradable

microfibers that break down into smaller plastic

particles that become widespread in ecosystems. They are li ering

cities, clogging sewage channels and turning up in bodies of water. I

have wri en in other books about the immense amounts of

microplastics from endless sources now being absorbed into the

body. Rolf Halden, director of the Arizona State University (ASU)

Biodesign Center for Environmental Health Engineering, was the

senior researcher in a 2020 study that analysed 47 human tissue

samples and found microplastics in all of them. ‘We have detected

these chemicals of plastics in every single organ that we have

investigated’, he said. I wrote in The Answer about the world being

deluged with microplastics. A study by the Worldwide Fund for

Nature (WWF) found that people are consuming on average every

week some 2,000 tiny pieces of plastic mostly through water and also

through marine life and the air. Every year humans are ingesting

enough microplastics to fill a heaped dinner plate and in a life-time

of 79 years it is enough to fill two large waste bins. Marco

Lambertini, WWF International director general said: ‘Not only are

plastics polluting our oceans and waterways and killing marine life –

it’s in all of us and we can’t escape consuming plastics,’ American
