Face Masks
 

Masks, no matter how thin, block fresh air,   the moisture and heat in the masks makes for a perfect breeding ground for the virus(es) to replicate, which can lead to Hypercapnia; and the masks prevent proper levels of oxygen into the lungs.    Breathing is a major way our body detoxifies itself.  The use of wearing masks makes us more vulnerable to illnesses because it lessens our immunity to many viruses - not just CV19. 

Making masks mandatory -  especially AFTER months of flattening the curve, staying home, and opening the communities makes no sense.   The masks do not prevent us from getting or spreading the viruses. 

We've lived thousands of years and through hundreds of deadly viruses and yet, here we are, wearing a mask for something that has proved to be nothing more deadly than the flu virus.      The scientists have been deceptive, the media has been deceptive, and the political "leaders" have been very deceptive about the real numbers, the real threats, and the real reason for making people wear masks.   

You cannot mandate something that will cause more harm and possible illness/death.
