The masks are contributing to the spread of covid. People are touching their faces in public. People are wearing filthy homemade masks over and over. I just feign medical disability now.

Every sentence a gold nugget.

Seriously, anyone getting all quivery about feigning a medical exemption because they don't lie is a good person for not lying; I myself can't lie without being a nervous guilt-ridden wreck. But this isn't lying. You DO have a medical exemption, whether a person in a priestly white robe gave it to you or not. Your medical exemption, to protect your health, is your birthright; you were literally born with it.

It's called your immune system, which needs exposure to microbes in order to function properly;

your circulatory system—some people who wear N95s are living with debilitating headaches arising from oxygen deprivation (hypoxia) and carbon dioxide poisoning (hypercapnia), some are passing out behind the wheel and crashing their car;

your mental health—depression, anxiety, and fear of living under the boot of communism in a nightmarish dystopian future PRESENT are real;

and your pulmonary system (constant rebreathing of viruses and bacteria is a great way to get a nasty lung infection)

Take charge of your health everyone. It's your own personal responsibility, not that of doctors alone. You owe it to yourself and your fellow humans in this free society that we still have, to...

GRANT YOURSELF YOUR OWN MEDICAL EXEMPTION.

YOU HAVE THAT POWER; IT DOESN'T REST WITH SOME GODLY PRIEST IN A WHITE VESTMENT WITH TOTAL CONTROL OVER YOUR HEALTH.

YOU DON'T NEED ANYONE'S PERMISSION TO STAY HEALTHY AND PROTECT YOUR LIFE

Fuckin' A.

My "condition" is that I follow sensible medical advice from doctors. The surgeon general and the magical squirmy elf Dr. Fauci BOTH stated in no uncertain terms that the general public should NOT be walking around wearing masks.

Fauci: "Wearing a mask may make people ::air finger quotes:: "feel better", and they may even block a droplet [note use of singular]. But they don't provide the perfect protection that people think they do. And, often, there are unintended consequences."

That's all I need to know. Thanks! Now, off to Gitmo with you for your trial for crimes against humanity (deliberately administering a global viral pandemic in order to profit obscenely from related pharmaceuticals, resulting in the largest mass-murder event in recorded history since the Great Flood).

R.I.P. (rot in perpetuity), Dr. Fauxi

N95s were used as a dust mask at the smelter I used to work at, they do not cause oxygen deprivation etc.

N95 masks are designed to protect the WEARER, not others. They are for use in a CONTAMINATED environment. You blow unfiltered air from your lungs out throught the unfiltered vent into the contaminated air. They therefore don't "protect your fellow humans" from anything. They weren't designed to. They were designed to protect the WEARER from dust and other large (relative to a virus) particles in the air.

But not only that....

Russell Blaylock, MD writes at https://www.technocracy.news/blaylock-face-masks-pose-serious-risks-to-the-healthy/ :

There is a difference between the N95 respirator mask and the surgical mask (cloth or paper mask) in terms of side effects. The N95 mask, which filters out 95% of particles with a median diameter >0.3 µm2 , because it impairs respiratory exchange (breathing) to a greater degree than a soft mask, [is] more often associated with headaches. In one such study, researchers surveyed 212 healthcare workers (47 males and 165 females) asking about presence of headaches with N95 mask use, duration of the headaches, type of headaches and if the person had preexisting headaches.2

They found that about a third of the workers developed headaches with use of the mask, most had preexisting headaches that were worsened by the mask wearing, and 60% required pain medications for relief. As to the cause of the headaches, while straps and pressure from the mask could be causative, the bulk of the evidence points toward hypoxia and/or hypercapnia as the cause. That is, a reduction in blood oxygenation (hypoxia) or an elevation in blood C02 (hypercapnia). It is known that the N95 mask, if worn for hours, can reduce blood oxygenation as much as 20%, which can lead to a loss of consciousness, as happened to the hapless fellow driving around alone in his car wearing an N95 mask, causing him to pass out, and to crash his car and sustain injuries.

Someone works as a smelter and says N95 masks don't cause oxygen deprivation, etc. That's called "anecdotal evidence." This published medical doctor says they absolutely do—and backs it up with facts based on actual scientific research conducted by medical scientists.

We'll just call it even.

So what if it only protects the wearer when everyone has to wear masks.

If someone wants to avoid virus then wear a mask.

just because no one complained didnt mean there wasn't a reduction in oxygen intake

If you are actually trying to stop a virus from spreading, staying home is a foolproof way of not catching the Chinese virus. Prancing around in public with a rag on your face is a dumb move if you’re worried about catching a bug. Would you join an orgy of people with herpes and warts if you were wearing a condom?
