Dr Colleen you are brilliant. Since reading your previous mask posts I've avoided wearing one unless absolutely unavoidable. The whole idea is nuts isn't it? A moist reservoir of germs growing on inside surface of the mask and then breathe it all back in.... Really??? Ridiculous public health recommendation
I saw a fun video last year, can't find it now, of a practical test where they used cigarette smoke as a visual aid to understand mask failure. Went through the range of masks from N95 down to bandanas. Every mask had a lot of smoke emitting through the mask material, and even more around the edges. And of course, the same airflow works on the inhale. If the smoke is replaced with a load of virus particles, you, and everyone in visual range, is infected. Fortunately, most people have sufficient immune strength that mask failure doesn't matter.
Another video from last year showed a man with an OSHA CO2 tester. Stuck it in the mask and watched the CO2 concentration quickly rise well above OSHA safety standards.
Higher CO2 concentrations impair mental function. Those who wear them become less able to recognize the ineffectiveness. Maybe that's the real purpose.
I've come to believe they are literally trying to muzzle people.

Thank you. It seems obvious that masks are a health hazard, which our recent ancestors also concluded 102 years ago.

Masks are about control. Here is a great article that I use: https://www.justfacts.com/news_face_masks_deadly_falsehoods
Can you make your links clickable in the post? Otherwise it's an exercise of cut and paste. :-)
Thank you. Just linked.
Clickable links working for me.
