Yes, Let’s Insist on a Mask Mandate, Especially for Democrats

That’s right. I demand a mandatory mask mandate for all supporters of Joe Biden and leftist Democrat causes. It is only just. Why must we insist on a mandate? Just look at the scientific evidence reported in the Elsevier Public Health Emergency Collection:

According to the current knowledge, the virus SARS-CoV-2 has a diameter of 60 nm to 140 nm [nanometers (billionth of a meter)] , , while medical and non-medical facemasks’ thread diameter ranges from 55 µm to 440 µm [micrometers (one millionth of a meter), which is more than 1000 times larger . Due to the difference in sizes between SARS-CoV-2 diameter and facemasks thread diameter (the virus is 1000 times smaller), SARS-CoV-2 can easily pass through any facemask .

A meta-analysis among health care workers found that compared to no masks, surgical mask and N95 respirators were not effective against transmission of viral infections or influenza-like illness based on six RCTs .

A recent systematic review of 39 studies including 33,867 participants in community settings (self-report illness), found no difference between N95 respirators versus surgical masks and surgical mask versus no masks in the risk for developing influenza or influenza-like illness, suggesting their ineffectiveness of blocking viral transmissions in community settings .

Wearing a facemask mechanically restricts breathing by increasing the resistance of air movement during both inhalation and exhalation process , . Although, intermittent (several times a week) and repetitive (10–15 breaths for 2–4 sets) increase in respiration resistance may be adaptive for strengthening respiratory muscles , , prolonged and continues effect of wearing facemask is maladaptive and could be detrimental for health , , .

[Blood] gas concentrations significantly are altered when breathing occurs through facemask. A trapped air remaining between the mouth, nose and the facemask is rebreathed repeatedly in and out of the body, containing low O2 and high CO2 concentrations, causing hypoxemia and hypercapnia , , , , .[definition–“Hypoxemia” is an abnormally low level of oxygen in the blood. More specifically, it is oxygen deficiency in arterial blood. Hypercapnia, or hypercarbia, is when you have too much carbon dioxide (CO2) in your bloodstream.]

Severe hypoxemia may also provoke cardiopulmonary and neurological complications and is considered an important clinical sign in cardiopulmonary medicine , , , , , . Low oxygen content in the arterial blood can cause myocardial ischemia, serious arrhythmias, right or left ventricular dysfunction, dizziness, hypotension, syncope and pulmonary hypertension . Chronic low-grade hypoxemia and hypercapnia as result of using facemask can cause exacerbation of existing cardiopulmonary, metabolic, vascular and neurological conditions , , , , , .

. . . breathing through facemask residues bacterial and germs components on the inner and outside layer of the facemask. These toxic components are repeatedly rebreathed back into the body, causing self-contamination.

Breathing through facemasks also increases temperature and humidity in the space between the mouth and the mask, resulting a release of toxic particles from the mask’s materials , , , , , .

To put this simply, Masks do not prevent the spread of Covid and, more importantly, wearing a mask is not good for your health.

That’s why I think it ought to be mandated that all Democrats and all supporters of Joe Biden wear masks. Perhaps this explains why the Democrats are embracing so many stupid, counter productive policies–they are suffering from oxygen deprivation. Lack of oxygen and high levels of carbon dioxide is a recipe for killing brain cells.

Don’t forget to check out Joe Hoft’s piece highlighting a separate scientific study that supports the conclusions in the research reported above. The side effects from wearing a N95 mask are not pretty:

  1. Headache;
  2. Increased pressure inside the skull;
  3. Nervous system changes (e.g., increased pain threshold, reduction in cognition – altered judgement, decreased situational awareness, difficulty coordinating sensory or cognitive, abilities and motor activity, decreased visual acuity, widespread activation of the sympathetic nervous system that can oppose the direct effects of CO2 on the heart and blood vessels);
  4. Increased breathing frequency;
  5. Increased “work of breathing”, which is result of breathing through a filter medium;
  6. Cardiovascular effects (e.g., diminished cardiac contractility, vasodilation of peripheral blood vessels);
  7. Reduced tolerance to lighter workloads.

Be a patriot. Demand mask mandates for Democrats. It is only fair.
