Study: Mask-Wearing is Harmful, Lowering Blood Oxygen Levels and Increasing Blood CO2, as Well as Increasing Heart Rate and Blood PressureIn other words, masks make it more difficult to breathe. Shocking discovery, I know. Physio-metabolic and clinical consequences of wearing face masks--Systematic review with meta-analysis and comprehensive evaluation SpO2 is blood oxygen level. Actually it apparently means "saturation of peripheral oxygen," which I take to mean that it's not a direct measure of oxygen in your blood, but a proxy measure for that, as people usually get their Pulse Oximetry taken via that thing that clips on to your index finger and reads your oxygen level through your skin. I'm guessing it's the skin that is the "peripheral" being analyzed for oxygen. ...and minute ventilation (SMD = −0.72, 95% CI = −0.99 to −0.46, p < 0.001), simultaneous increased in blood-CO2 (SMD = +0.64, 95% CI = 0.31--0.96, p < 0.001), heart rate (N95: SMD = +0.22, 95% CI = 0.03--0.41, p = 0.02), systolic blood pressure (surgical: SMD = +0.21, 95% CI = 0.03--0.39, p = 0.02), skin temperature (overall SMD = +0.80 95% CI = 0.23--1.38, p = 0.006) and humidity (SMD +2.24, 95% CI = 1.32--3.17, p < 0.001). Here are some bad effects: Effects on exertion (overall SMD = +0.9, surgical = +0.63, N95 = +1.19), discomfort (SMD = +1.16), dyspnoea (SMD = +1.46), heat (SMD = +0.70), and humidity (SMD = +0.9) were significant in n = 373 with a robust relationship to mask wearing (p < 0.006 to p < 0.001). Pooled symptom prevalence (n = 8,128) was significant for: headache (62%, p < 0.001), acne (38%, p < 0.001), skin irritation (36%, p < 0.001), dyspnoea (33%, p < 0.001), heat (26%, p < 0.001), itching (26%, p < 0.001), voice disorder (23%, p < 0.03), and dizziness (5%, p = 0.01). Here's what all that means: Discussion: Masks interfered with O2-uptake and CO2-release and compromised respiratory compensation. Though evaluated wearing durations are shorter than daily/prolonged use, outcomes independently validate mask-induced exhaustion-syndrome (MIES) and down-stream physio-metabolic disfunctions. MIES can have long-term clinical consequences, especially for vulnerable groups. Oh my: So far, several mask related symptoms may have been misinterpreted as long COVID-19 symptoms. In any case, the possible MIES contrasts with the WHO definition of health. The conclusion? The downside of masks, combined with the complete lack of benefit for wearing them, means they shouldn't be worn, and certainly not mandated by government. Conclusion: Face mask side-effects must be assessed (risk-benefit) against the available evidence of their effectiveness against viral transmissions. In the absence of strong empirical evidence of effectiveness, mask wearing should not be mandated let alone enforced by law. Meanwhile, another study demonstrates that masks failed to control covid spread even in the venue where proper mask wearing and compliance would be at its highest: even in hospitals, masking failed. Were masks in hospitals a waste of time? Hated NHS policy made 'no difference' to Covid infection rates, study finds "Experts" are only expert in refusing to admit error, ever, even in the face of overwhelming evidence. But they called for 'rational and proportionate' masking policies in hospitals during future Covid flare-ups because the benefits are 'at best, modest'. | Recent Comments
