Dear Subscriber,
More than a year ago I posted my concerns about masks. You know that mask mandates appear to be coming back as new COVID cases arise. Concerns were expressed by “professional” lay people, I believe Del Bigtree included, about CO2 rebreathing in masks. I have not seen credible evidence that masking reduces COVID problems. It might, but I am not convinced. However, I believed from the start that masking is not without risk.
Your body keeps concentrations of CO2 very tight. In fact, your drive to breathe is largely controlled by CO2 in your system. Your body wants to keep it in a tight zone as CO2 is the easiest way for your body to keep its critical pH balance.
Here we see potential very significant problems with the increase in CO2 due to masking. Aside from the potential for brain damage and stillbirths, masking most assuredly will mar the psyche of children.
N95 masks are said to be the best for “protection”.
