7th April 2023 – Were masks in hospitals a waste of time? Hated NHS policy made ‘no difference’ to Covid infections rates, study finds
Experts at St George’s Hospital found masks made ‘no discernible difference’
The infection rate remained unchanged even when the mandate was removed.
Sept 2022 Study of levels of carbon dioxide inhaled by children wearing masks for only 25mins
6. In conclusion we have produced experimental data that show that carbon dioxide content in inhaled air rises on average to 13,000 to 13,750 ppm no matter whether children wear a surgical or an FFP2 mask. This is far beyond the level of 2,000 ppm considered the limit of acceptability and beyond the 1,000 ppm that are normal for air in closed rooms. This estimate is rather on the low side, as we only measured this after a short time without physical exertion. Decision makers and law courts should take this into consideration when establishing rules and guidance to fight infections.

9 million children in England suffered emotional, psychological and physical harm by being forced to wear ineffective masks:
(because).... Boris Johnson was told the issue was 'not worth an argument' with Nicola Sturgeon. The then Prime Minister went ahead with the controversial policy despite England's Chief Medical Officer saying there were 'no very strong reasons' to do so.
Responses to Freedom of Information Act requests reveal shocking disregard for children. Masking children was a political decision that was not risk-assessed for 17 months. The initial advice was that ‘masks could impede communication between teachers and staff and have little health benefit’ ... the evidence on ‘downsides’ (I.e. harms) of masking pupils is couched in definitive terms, referencing impacts on communication, cognition, educational performance, confidence and the fact that ‘Masks will become highly contaminated with upper respiratory tract and skin micro-organisms’, such that used masks could become a source of viral transmission. There was no assessment of harms for masks in schools under Sir Gavin Williamson. Quote from Matt Hancock’s published diary: “Nicola Sturgeon blindsided us by suddenly announcing that when schools in Scotland reopen, all secondary school pupils will have to wear masks in classrooms. In one of her most egregious attempts at one-upmanship to date, she didn’t consult us. The problem is that our original guidance on face coverings specifically excluded schools. Cue much tortured debate between myself, education secretary Gavin Williamson and No 10 about how to respond. Much as Sturgeon would relish it, nobody here wants a big spat with the Scots. So, U-turn it is.” See links in article:
