FL parents send 6 masks to a lab...
- 100% of masks contaminated.
- 50% w/pathogens, including multiple strains of pneumonia- and meningitis-causing bacteria.
- 1/3 with antibiotic-resistant pathogens.
- 2 masks w/more than 70 strains of bacteria.

"Masks work" has become such a powerful mantra for public health, it has stifled not only research showing it doesn't, but also the ability to even question if it might cause harm.

This is a testament to the power of children's immune systems. Every one of these pathogens is SIGNIFICANTLY more dangerous to children than SARS-CoV2. Yet they have been exposed over, and over, and over again.
(note, no SARS-CoV2 was found on the mask, because... )

Some will say "but the masks are protecting them from those!" No. The parents submitted clothing worn as well, which was not contaminated w/pathogens.
These pathogens are GROWING on the moist environment provided by the masks.
Go smell your kids' masks.

While children have immune super-powers, what about those who do not? Immuno-suppressed, the elderly, who have wrapped themselves in multiple masks in response to public health-induced fear?
We don't know, because no one will even ask.

The "even if it's just a little" fallacy has been advanced for months in face of the total lack of evidence in favor. If they increase risk of other things by just a little, does this change the calculus?
The claim of efficacy is not supported.
7/
Despite the scientific communities moratorium on questioning the efficacy or harms of masks, evidence for the lack of efficacy, and presence of harms continues to mount.

It's time that we start asking these questions. This is one of the most obvious studies you could have done.
What about the social-emotional impacts? When will we know those? We won't if the public health community has anything to say about it. @EWoodhouse7
