In the latest blow to the face-mask-wearing cabal, a newly released study suggests that these ubiquitous face coverings could expose wearers to an unsafe level of toxins. 

The Epoch Times, citing a study in the Journal of Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety that was released in May, reported that scientists in South Korea found that the “number and concentration of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from several different masks”—including some levels that were high enough to pose a “serious risk to human health.”

“An increase in the concentration of environmental particulate matter and the spread of the COVID-19 virus has dramatically increased our time spent wearing masks,” the authors of the report wrote. “If harmful chemicals are released from these masks, there may be harmful effects on human health.”

Two of the masks in question were the KF94 and N95 which reportedly could expose “wearers to dangerous levels of toxic compounds linked to seizures and cancers.”

These researchers say wearers should take masks out of their packaging about 30 minutes before putting them on to reduce the risk of exposure, suggesting that packaging could be playing a role. 

Dr. Stuart Fischer, an internal medicine physician in New York, told Earth.com that the study did not measure the compound’s impact on people who actually wore the masks, so he warned not to draw too much of a conclusion from the research. He did tell The Daily Mail that there seems to be “diminishing returns on the need for masks.”

The increase of COVID-19 cases in the U.S. has put the potential of new mask mandates back on the table. Indeed a school in Maryland has enforced a 10-day mask mandate, which drew swift backlash from Republicans, including Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis.

“They want to muzzle your children,” he tweeted. “Those mandates are DOA in the state of Florida because we’ve enacted protections for parents and children. When I’m President, there will be a reckoning for the harm they’ve done to kids in pursuit of a political agenda.”

Dr. Anthony Fauci, the former White House chief medical advisor, told ABC’s “This Week” that another federal mask mandate is highly unlikely because the “chances of this being an overwhelming rush of cases or hospitalizations, is probably low.”

TRENDPOST: The Trends Journal was one of the only publications that have doubted the effectiveness of masks since the start of the COVID-19 outbreak. We saw the government mandates as a way our corrupt political class could tighten its grip on the public. It was never based on the science, but rather political science.

As Gerald Celente has often said: It is clear to anyone with a brain larger than a pea that wearing a mask means an individual is breathing in air that was supposed to be exhaled outside of their bodies.

A study in the Cochrane Review last May said “masks bear a possible chronic exposure to low-level carbon dioxide of 1.41–3.2% CO2 of the inhaled air in reliable human experiments.” 

Fresh air, for example, has around 0.04 percent CO2.

The City Journal noted that “in other words, while eight times the normal level of carbon dioxide is toxic, research suggests that mask-wearers (specifically those who wear masks for more than 5 minutes at a time) are breathing in 35 to 80 times normal levels.”
