When the VA FINALLY dropped their misguided masking policy earlier this year, the staff were visibly relieved. I asked a doctor about this. She told me that the VA made it a dismissal level offense to not wear a mask. What's more, it had to be a mask that the VA issued. The kicker was that the masks were in short supply at the VA so the employees were issued one mask every two weeks. The doctor said the masks were unimaginably nasty by the end of the second week and were not preventing the spread of anything. Only a Federal Bureaucracy could create such unsanitary conditions in the name of reducing the spread of infection. And people want MORE government in their lives. Ha Ha.
PS. These are the same people that think the best way to treat pain is to tell the sufferer to pretend it doesn't hurt. There is a special lagoon in the eternal lake of fire reserved for these people.
I went to a dr last October that cycles out of oncology offices and they forced me to put the mask on below my nose to comply even though I explained they caused me anxiety. After sitting in the waiting room for an hour being forced to listen to The View which could not be changed they took my blood pressure and it was 177/96. I explained I can’t tolerate wearing any mask including the paper one they forced on me and the nurse told me to take it off, gave me a few minutes and she took my BP again and it was 119/76. So they told me I didn’t have to wear it anymore. Some of us really do have serious reactions to covering our faces that are measurable right away.
This happens to me as well. Its not pretty. I am prepared to say at this point that if they force a mask on me and I pass out and smack my head on the floor that I assume they are willing to accept full liability for my injuries.
This is fairly old news, this has been known for years. A German company did the same tests and warned of cancer risks. When I posted on FB, it was taken down as false data, even though it was published and there was proof. Not only that, all medical masks state that they do not protect from viral infection. Added to this the 95 masks are not be worn for more thatn 30 minutes continuously according to Health and Safety Regulations in Germany. Other tests conducted by concerned parents showed massive contamination of the masks.
tvoc in Korean KF94 now become headline "N95 masks expose wearers to toxic chemicals in unsafe concentrations"
"the evil" wants you to become spike infected over and over to compound the "slow kill" injuries from "their" "unlimited war", "economic war", bio-engineered spike. "the evil" within cdc/nih/fda/pharma wants you to fear infection by thinking you can not protect yourselves so you will take spike injections. Do you believe what "they" say about covid prevention and treatment?
"the evil" fears N95. "the evil" long planned and made sure N95, with its pandemic stopping potential, was not available for most at the start of the pandemic. Now "the evil" works to stop N95 use with some of the same tactics "the evil" used to stop HCQ and Ivermectin.
"they" start with a ginned up study then bogus headlines. This is what the study actually says.
"Fifteen species of the VOCs detected from mask samples were consistent with the hazardous chemicals commonly found in work environments, as identified by the United States’ National Institute for Occupational Safety & Health (NIOSH)....."However, the concentration levels of the hazardous chemicals (VOCs) detected were very low, nearly 100–1000 times less than the recommended exposure limit set by NIOSH. Nevertheless, the guidelines related to safe mask wearing are required as these 15 VOCs are harmful substances."
This Korean "study" found a mis-manufactured, worst case, voc smelly Korean KF94 mask
"Sample B, a KF94 mask, was selected as the target mask for evaluation in Exp 2 because it generated the highest concentration of VOCs among all masks evaluated Although various masks were evaluated, only the KF94 mask was focused on for evaluating VOC generation based on wearing time and temperature."
"4. Conclusions" last sentence " Based on our findings, we suggest that prior to wearing a KF94 mask, each product should be opened and not worn for at least 30 min, thereby reducing TVOC concentrations to levels that will not impair human health."
"As the number of problems that require mask wearing (including air pollution and COVID-19) grows, masks are increasingly important. Now that masks are all but required, the harmful chemicals that can be released from them must be evaluated. In this study, VOCs generated from various types of masks, including commonly used KF94 disposable masks, were assessed. The types and concentrations of VOCs that humans are likely to be exposed to from these masks under various conditions (i.e., emission time, temperature, and mask types) were calculated and compared. This study demonstrated that disposable masks (KF94) released higher concentrations of TVOCs in comparison to cotton masks, with values of 3730 ± 1331 µg m–3 for KF94 and 268 ± 51.6 µg m–3 for cotton masks. The concentrations of TVOCs in KF94 masks are high enough to pose a concern based on indoor air quality guidelines established by the German Federal Environment Agency. However, when KF94 masks were opened and left undisturbed for 30 min at room temperature, TVOC concentrations significantly decreased to 724 ± 5.86 µg m–3 (a 78.2 ± 9.45% reduction from levels measured immediately upon opening). It is clear that particular attention must be paid to the VOCs associated with the use of KF94 masks their effects on human health. Based on our findings, we suggest that prior to wearing a KF94 mask, each product should be opened and not worn for at least 30 min, thereby reducing TVOC concentrations to levels that will not impair human health." https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0147651323004190?via%3Dihub

Misleading headlines to be repeated everywhere by anti-maskers who have most all been infected, who now "vow" to be infected again with "no masks, under any circumstances. Never again" I say fine, do as you will, just do not infect another person.
I have never gotten a voc smelly US made 3M. I have seen comments noting a noticeable, short lived odor coming from some overseas manufactured 3M N95 products upon opening. The operative word is "VOLATILE" organic compounds. I air out my N95 masks before use. I leave them in the car to air out /dry out. In the winter I hang or place them near a heat register. I have had NO bacteria or voc problems. I have used 3M N95 masks for ~50 years. The "real" tvoc study is on well warm air aired out / dried out N95's. I have read the numerous bacteria on mask studies and have "disinfected" my mask by placing it in the oven for 35 minutes at 165 F without problem.

It's a bacteria farm on your face! Imagine if everyone was a critically-thinking person back in April of 2020 and they read this:

Dr. Rancourt even went as far to start the web site maskdontwork.com, only to have it taken down.
One thing is for sure, masks will kill you, given enough time. Thanks as always Jennifer for all the great posts! Peace.

The 'cure' is worse than the 'disease'.
All brought to us by the government, for your safety, of course!
