I Can't Imagine How Anyone Thought Any Differently

Yet they did.  You can think some pretty stupid things when your thinking is tribal, and the 'rona nazis were the most tribal of them all:

Evidence continues to mount that mask mandates were perhaps the worst public-health intervention in modern American history. While concluding that wearing masks “probably makes little or no difference” in preventing the spread of viruses, a recent Cochrane review also emphasized that “more attention should be paid to describing and quantifying the harms” that may come from wearing masks. A new study from Germany does just that, and it suggests that the excess carbon dioxide breathed in by mask-wearers may have substantial ill-effects on their health—and, in the case of pregnant women, their unborn children’s.

Mask-wearers breathe in greater amounts of air that should have been expelled from their bodies and released out into the open. “[A] significant rise in carbon dioxide occurring while wearing a mask is scientifically proven in many studies,” write the German authors. “Fresh air has around 0.04% CO2,” they observe, while chronic exposure at CO2 levels of 0.3 percent is “toxic.” How much CO2 do mask-wearers breathe in? The authors write that “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.”

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.

Yeah, and they said I was the one who wanted to kill grandma.

    Remember that scene in the day care of the little boy resisting the grown-ups demanding he wear a mask. Child abuse. Perpetrated on millions of children. America needs to wake up and I don't mean "woke."

  2. As an engineer, I learned that everything is a trade-off. What are the downsides to wearing a mask?

    As a man of science, it's a reasonable question to ask how a person is effected by re-breathing most of each breath.

    When I asked those reasonable questions, especially to the teachers who were double masking, they thought I was promoting a conspiracy.

    Smart people who I hold in high esteem seemed to have their brain gears all locked up and smoking.
