Schools Practicing Child Abuse Nationwide
Greta Thunberg asked, “How Dare You?” We are assured on a daily basis that man-made global warming, resulting from too much carbon in the atmosphere, is an existential threat to our survival and an urgent threat to our children. And, COVID19 provided the opportunity to test whether carbon dioxide is indeed an immediate and serious threat. Well, the results are in.
Carbon dioxide kills children, and the deaths are caused by people who simply don’t care what the results of their actions are. The miscreants behind these deaths are known to the public, never admit their responsibility, and their propagandists protect them against ever being held accountable. They have bribed the rule-makers to protect them, and will probably never pay for their crimes.
You probably think I’m talking about greedy executives at fossil fuels companies who are ruining our planet. Close, but no prize. These criminals are far more powerful and far better protected than the most anti-social oil and gas company owner could imagine.
On June 29, 2021, the CDC issued guidance stating that wearing of masks outdoors by fully vaccinated people, and those younger than two, is not necessary except in areas with large numbers of COVID19 cases or where people will be closely packed together. I am grateful to the CDC for catching up to The Enlightenment. As usual, the CDC was way behind the curve. Despite the new guidance, several states and other jurisdictions continue to mandate that children wear masks outdoors when already vaccinated and keeping as much as sixty-to-eighty feet distant from others.
Fear not, all is right with the world. On July 5, Dr. Anthony Fauci, who is so knowledgeable and trustworthy that to attack him is to attack science itself, advised Americans not to listen to the CDC, but to continue wearing masks outdoors even if fully vaccinated. He reiterated his guidance to require children as young as two to wear masks outdoors.
In California and other U.S. states, schoolchildren competing in outdoor sports are required to wear masks. More than a year ago, www.health.com and the NIH both warned that high levels of carbon dioxide inhaled by mask-wearers were dangerous. More recently we have conducted trials and tests to determine how much carbon dioxide enters and exits a human body wearing a mask. Respiration is responsible both for inhaling and expelling carbon dioxide (CO2).
As a baseline we looked first at BMC Infectious Diseases, which concluded that mask-wearing for short periods (fifteen minutes or less) presented no threat of hypercapnia to otherwise healthy adults, but included no one younger than 16. Average age was 32, and there was no indication of the level of activity.
In a significant study conducted by researchers from Germany, Poland and Austria, the findings were disturbing.
Most of the complaints reported by children3 can be understood as consequences of elevated carbon dioxide levels in inhaled air. This is because of the dead-space volume of the masks, which collects exhaled carbon dioxide quickly after a short time. This carbon dioxide mixes with fresh air and elevates the carbon dioxide content of inhaled air under the mask, and this was more pronounced in this study for younger children.
The study compared its results to standards established by Germany’s Kommission des Umweltbundesamtes und der Obersten Landesgesundheitsbehörden (Commission of the Federal Environment Agency and the Supreme State Health Authorities), roughly analogous to the US’s CDC. . . . concentrations of indoor air carbon dioxide below 1000 ppm are regarded as harmless, those between 1000 and 2000 ppm as elevated and those above 2000 ppm as unacceptable.
The study revealed average carbon dioxide levels in masked schoolchildren of 13,120 ppm for surgical masks, and 13,920 ppm for N95 masks, more than six times the maximum acceptable level. This concentration was achieved with only three minutes of measuring. Schoolchildren wear these masks for an average of 270 minutes per day. Younger children showed higher concentrations, with one child achieving 25,000 ppm with only three minutes of mask-wearing. Now, these were individuals indoors and at rest. No extra load was placed on cardio-pulmonary systems. The locations where testing occurred were well-ventilated with multiple windows open to the outdoors.
In the US we use Standard 62.1, which recommends indoor CO2 concentrations no higher than 1,100 ppm and outdoor concentrations not greater than 400 ppm. How can we tolerate CO2 concentrations of 25,000 ppm for children? It’s easy – never ask the question.
From ABC12 News in Minneapolis, January 2021:
On Thursday, student-athletes in Minnesota returned to the court and ice rink for their first games and scrimmages of the winter sports season.
Most of these sports are requiring athletes to wear masks during game play and practices. Not all students and parents are too thrilled about this requirement. In a survey put out Jan. 4 – 11 by Let Them Play MN, over 2,500 Minnesotans reported their child or they themselves experienced dizziness and shortness of breath while playing with a mask. The survey also found 14 kids collapsed and 11 needed emergency care.
It may be helpful to realize that Minnesota is one of the healthiest states in the US. The information was made available to ABC News around January 11, 2021, but was never picked up nationally. Following January 20, 2021, there has been an acceptable narrative about COVID19 and anything related to it. Time Magazine proudly documented the cabal that worked behind the scenes to select the new president for us, and the White House Press Secretary confirmed on July 15 that the White House is alerting Social Media to what it deems misinformation to be censored.
In April 2021, KQRE television in New Mexico reported that a Rio Rancho high school cross-country runner collapsed during a masked competition.
“A senior with at least five years of competitive running experience, Adam Donaldson collapsed with his last steps of the race. . . (The pediatrician) did say it was a problem with (Adam’s) breathing, it was too much carbon dioxide, a lack of oxygen,” Lisa Donaldson said. “He had a little bit of elevated liver enzymes, he had a high red blood count.”
It is helpful to understand that a high red blood cell count is typical in cases of athletes competing at high altitude. Elevated liver enzymes can mean a thousand different things; too much carbon dioxide is not subject to much interpretation or spin.
Our focus on infection rates is misplaced. They mean very different things at different ages. Yes, young children are infected with COVID19. Run for the hills! It’s meaningless except in rare cases of children with underlying health conditions, even if the vaccinated elderly are exposed to them. At age seventy, infection is dangerous. Even there, those fully vaccinated are safe from serious complications. President Biden got one thing right: The Delta variant is an epidemic of the unvaccinated.
There are reports from multiple other states of children feeling dizzy with impairment of cognition while wearing masks indoors. For example, Oregon recently walked back its outdoor masked guidance for students competing in athletics: BEND, Oregon, April 30, 2021 (LifeSiteNews) — The Oregon Health Authority (OHA) has walked back its mask mandate for outdoor sports competitions after a high school track athlete, forced to wear a mask while running, collapsed just before crossing the finish line.
Hospitalization rates for children testing positive for COVID19, are ridiculously low, and death rates are so low for those under 20 that they are generally reported as zero. Yet, the authoritarian extra-constitutional orders from governors that “follow the science” can be called into question if the data behind those decisions don’t hold up. Questioning the veracity of Dr. Fauci’s statements, though, is “questioning science itself.” Finally, the last holdout caved in and issued new guidance that all schoolchildren K-12 should be masked in school.
OPINION: I’ve run out of official sources to trust on masks and schoolchildren. I have to conclude that the authoritarian regime is sacrificing children to avoid any questioning of the accepted narrative, necessary to cement its power. I desperately want an alternative explanation for the official misinformation and censoring of different thought.
I rely on a personal network of practicing physicians and medical scientists for reliable information. If Galileo were around today, he would be canceled, accused of inciting panic for his astronomy observations and quieted forever. After all, he was challenging the authoritarians’ narrative.
From Reason Magazine:
"Science" is not synonymous with Fauci, or the CDC, or any lone source of authority. Scientific experts routinely disagree on various policies. Some epidemiologists continue to urge the public to practice a level of caution that seems unnecessary in light of the vaccines, while others think life can resume as normal. There are legitimate differences of opinion on which pandemic mitigation strategies—lockdowns, school closures, mask mandates—actually worked. Being pro-science does not mean parroting the talking points of the government's chosen spokesperson. Robust debate and challenge are part of the scientific process.
