Thank you. And not to diss your work - which was early and much appreciated - honestly this should be obvious, right? I couldn't wear masks, would not, and I was astounded that humans didn't just know, that breathing in their own exhaust is not good for health. (Aside from the idiocy of how particles easily flow through.) I still see people wearing them.!

Still, nice to see more studies confirming.

Thank you Dr. Huber. I would assume some of these harmful effects are long-term not just short term

In the early days of the "pandemic" I had to work at numerous places where masks were required. Once I got through common areas, it was hanging on my ear all day.

Nobody in any of those places wore a mask -- except in common areas, where a mask Nazi might screech, like Donald Sutherland from the 80s version of Invasion of The Body Snatchers.

My favorite meme, was the guy putting up a chain-link fence to keep out the Mosquitoes! 😂🤣

yeah, so in 2021 when I went in for an annual check up to a new doctor (had moved to another state), I had a regular blue paper mask on and I had to wear that thing walking up 2 flights of stairs and then keep it on during check in and wait time. My BP was up way higher than normal and I say, through the mask, to the nurse - well that's got to be from not getting enough O2, right? I mean, you're just re-breathing your CO2 and not getting fresh air in your body. And she said, oh no, that has nothing to do with it. That's got to be just common sense that a lack of fresh O2 would affect your systems - I mean that's just intuitive, no matter what your medical background, or lack thereof. I left that practice.

I would like to pile on this...I imagine that mask-wearing is even worse for pregnant women, especially as the months wear on. We are in the Philadelphia area, where so many practices are a part of the hospital systems, and are therefore guided by the idiotic, CYA policies of the hospitals, and you must wear a mask in the offices. My daughter is 8 months plus and it is challenging to wear, but the receptionists at her OB's office hands them out as she signs in. It's a heartless policy, and absolutely braindead. The "crisis" if indeed there ever was one, is long past over. Most of us have had covid, time to stop the charade.

Very interesting. Did you find studies on CO2 inhalation and exhalation of smokers for comparison?

I would love to see a pamphlet by Dr. Huber which could be published as a PDF here. A summery of all the mask harm and listing all the best studies that will fit in the room left.

It would be great to print and hand out or send to medical venues and government health departments that require or recommend masks, especially certified, return receipt requested.

I just don’t understand how so much of the medical community got duped into this. Thankfully my doctor works independently and never required masks but his office was turned into the health department on numerous occasions. 🤦🏻‍♀️

I need to have some PT, so far I cannot find a practice where the staff has stopped wearing masks. They leave it optional for patients. I have called four locations.

Our so called president signed off on the pandemic being over, so there is no reason for masks to still be required. Anyone stupid enough to still be wearing them to work all day is not smart enough to be working on my foot. I will find a You Tuber to show me what the best exercises are for my issue.

Thank you Dr. Huber. I live in a senior housing complex, and many times each day I still see people coming and going with masks on. I see them with masks on, making trips across our parking lot to the dumpster at 10 pm when there are no other humans in sight. I also see them driving alone in or out of our complex with windows up. In May of 2020, I donned a mask as required to donate blood at one of our local blood center locations. After my blood donation, I was having a doughnut and coffee at their little cafe set up; recharging my battery before hitting the road. A couple of the blood center employees overheard me say to another donor, that this was one of the very few times I had put on a mask. The employees verbally attacked me and attempted to shame me for what I said. I quickly realized I was in enemy territory and out numbered so I made a quick exit. That was my 45th donation,11 of which were double red blood cell donations. That incident was so offensive and crazy, that I have not donated since then. When I give a pint of my own A- and get coffee, doughnut and some serious disrespect, I know I am in the wrong place!

Unfortunately, I'm now in training for a job as a flight attendant and just discovered that it's mandatory for me to wear a company issued cloth face mask for military charters. I don't have to be jabbed but I'm so angry. I need the job as I've lost two jobs due to mandatory jabs which I refuse to do.

Yes, I remember the censorship you were subjected to (predominantly Twitter) in late 2020. I even found myself in the naughty corner for sharing your work... 🤦🏻‍♂️

Rest assure your efforts back then (when most were still hiding under their doona) were duly noted and very much appreciated! ✅

Thanks Dr. Huber. "But those harms keep getting re-discovered somehow, brand new all over again to incredulous audiences of academics – after worldwide injuries to children and adults." - are they really true academics? I recall reading, in April 2020, Dr. Denis Rancourt's (PhD) paper "Masks Don't Work". It was SO very obvious from reviewing the papers he reviewed that masks were worse than pointless - they hurt people! I question whether the "doctors" and "academics" who are stunned by current studies really truly know what they are talking about. I just read an article about a school in Ithaca New York that cannot quit covid - the kids are required to be masked inside and outside, they cannot talk at lunch and other barbaric measures - TODAY. It's pure mind control. Thanks for the great posts. Peace. :-)

PS the Military Mask mandate is for boarding process and flight and deplaneing. Where's the common sense?

I am new to your substack and so I only recently discovered this article. Unfortunately the study you referenced has been retracted. I am guessing it was retracted because it was against the narrative but I don't understand the details of research to know for sure. Do you happen to know why it was retracted and if so, was it retracted for good reason?

I have an alternate view on lung physiology that dismisses the notion of oxygen and carbon dioxide gaseous exchange

The article is titled

We breathe air not oxygen

I take you though all the steps that lead to this statement

Including how oxygen is manufactured

How oxygen is calibrated

Eg medical oxygen has 67parts per million of water contamination

Why oxygen is toxic, dehydrates and damages the alveoli

Lung physiology requires the air at the alveoli to reach 100% humidity

Can you see the problem?

The new take on lung physiology:

The lungs rehydrate the passing RBCs with iso tonic saline solution as they pass through the alveoli capillary beds

RBCs change from dark contracted dehydrated to plump bright hydrated form as they soak up the iso tonic saline solution the bursting alveoli bubbles throw upon the capillary sac

The airway mucosa conditions the breathe with salt and moisture
