Nerve-wracking Ball of Masks

for the unborn child, adolescents and young adults

"Possible toxicity of chronic carbon dioxide exposure associated with face mask use, particularly in pregnant women, children and adolescents". This is the title of a scoping scientific review article by German experts I read in October 2023 when riding with German Railway.[1]  Fittingly, a heavily pregnant woman was sitting across from me wearing an N95 face mask. I observed her struggle to inhale the air against the mask's resistance and exhale the stale air. In my mind's eye, I saw the growing brain of her unborn child suffering from carbon dioxide poisoning – long-term consequences not at all impossible, since the threshold for neurotoxicity is very low for CO₂ in the air we breathe.

What kind of "viral" fear must this expectant mother have, I asked myself, that she would do so much harm to herself - and especially to her unborn child - by engaging in such unnatural behavior? It's possible that she wasn't even aware of the risk, but regardless, her fear was stronger than her common sense. This fear is likely the result of a successful indoctrination process that I discuss in detail in my book, The Indoctrinated Brain. Voluntariness was therefore out of the question in this case, even though there was no decision (yet?) to reintroduce mandatory use of masks at that time. Dr. Helmut Traindl, a German environmental engineer, chemist and safety expert, published an expert opinion on the wearing of masks in October 2022, which states: "State propaganda and media ’brainwashing’ have even managed to make masks an indispensable part of some people's lives. For many people, they serve as a ‘comfort blanket’ or ‘magic amulet,’ providing a false sense of security against viral infections and thus calming their minds."[2]

Imminent Danger

According to the initially mentioned review article by a team of German experts, "approximately 77% of the countries in the world introduced the requirement to wear masks in public spaces to contain SARS-CoV-2 making it commonplace in 2020."

Furthermore, "government data from the end of the year 2021 show", the authors note, "that an estimated 4 496 149 755 people worldwide (58% of world population) have been confronted with a mask obligation". But despite persistent claims to the contrary by the profiteers of fear, face masks offer no scientifically demonstrable benefit against infectious diseases, as a meta-study by the independent Cochrane Group of international scientists showed in November 2020 and has since been confirmed in subsequent updates.[3] Instead, the article by the German experts on the dangers of masks explains that wearing masks could paradoxically increase infection rates, and that people close to the mask wearer could actually be at greater risk: Respiratory distress caused by masks is one of the main causes. It causes the person to inhale harder and exhale harder. (I saw this clearly with the pregnant woman sitting in front of me). The forceful exhalation creates a stream of tiny particles carrying viruses that can penetrate the mask. While large droplets can be stopped by the mask, these small droplets remain in the air much longer and can penetrate deeper into the respiratory system upon inhalation, leading to a higher level of infectivity.

Carbon Dioxide Intoxication of the Hippocampus

Fresh air contains approximately 0.04% CO₂. Studies have demonstrated that newborn animals exposed to a CO₂ concentration only about eight times higher (0.3%) than the natural level, for a prolonged period of time, exhibit neuronal damage.

The reduced spatial learning ability observed in the offspring clearly indicates damage to the hippocampus. (The hippocampus is where our spatial memory is located.) Animal studies have shown that this damage is irreversible. It also affects long-term mental health. (The hippocampus regulates psychological resilience.) For instance, pregnant rats' offspring exhibited heightened anxiety levels even when only exposed to 0.1% CO₂. Anxiety levels were worse when the pregnant dams breathed air containing 0.3% CO₂.[4] But in experiments with adolescent mice, such an increase in breath CO₂ also leads to the destruction of hippocampal neurons, resulting in increased anxiety and impaired learning and spatial memory.[5] Furthermore, a reduced blood concentration of the hippocampal growth factor IGF-1 was found. This may decrease the creation of new neurons necessary for hippocampal function.

However, behind an N95 mask, the CO₂ concentration is still much higher, with measured values sometimes exceeding 1 %; this is impressively shown by the cited review paper based on a large number of studies: "However, taking into account the above facts of increased carbon dioxide rebreathing under masks with values ranging from 0.22 to 3.52 vol% CO₂ in the majority of studies with values above 1% [...], it is clear that carbon dioxide rebreathing, especially when using N95 masks, is above the 0.8% CO₂ limit set by the US Navy to reduce the risk of stillbirths and birth defects on submarines with female personnel who may be pregnant." [6] Because of the severe damage to the nervous system, any long-term CO₂ exposure exceeding 0.3% should be considered toxic, as stated by the authors of the reviewed study. Moreover, I suggest that an air CO₂ concentration of 0.1% or higher should be regarded as toxic, particularly for those who require special protection, like pregnant women and their fetuses, in accordance with the well-established precautionary principle. The damage caused is serious and irreversible, if animal studies are any guide, and has long-term effects on mental health. There is no compelling evidence to suggest that the impact on humans is substantially distinct, hence the danger should be seriously considered and closely monitored.

Face Masks – a multifactorial, neuro-pathological assault on our autobiographical memory center, human individuality, and ability to think critically

Masks do way more harm than good. This fact should have been evident to all media-honored "experts" early on. Traindl clarifies: "Various experimental metrological investigations have shown that wearing a mask can lead to the accumulation of carbon dioxide. This contaminated air is then rebreathed, and when the outside air mixes with the accumulated exhaled air below the mask, it causes a reduction in oxygen content. This mixture of air is then inhaled back in." To put it bluntly: Pregnant women unintentionally create an environment for the fetus growing inside them that is detrimental to its development. Aldous Huxley describes in his dystopian novel Brave New World, a remarkably alike environment intentionally fabricated for the fetuses growing in bottles. In the world of the novel, purposeful oxygen deficiency is intended to result in a reduced efficiency of brain function in order to increase production and stabilize the system. In our current "dystopian reality," (actually a contradiction in terms), in addition to the oxygen deprivation mentioned in the novel, numerous additional factors cause demonstrable damage to the most sensitive part of our brains (the autobiographical memory center) at all ages, including but not limited to emotional deprivation, the presence of toxins in the air we breathe, such as the increased carbon dioxide caused by wearing masks. Hence masks not only symbolize submission to a cruel totalitarian regime, but also neuropathologically contribute to the weakening of society's mental immune system, as detailed in The Indoctrinated Brain.

The irony of the story: While the world's population is being driven into a panic about the supposedly deadly consequences of rising global CO₂ levels, behind their masks they are being intoxicated by increased CO₂ levels, which makes them all the more susceptible to fear and panic because of the damage it does to the hippocampus.

If someone aimed to cultivate a generation with limited independence of thought but highly susceptible to fear communication and optimal controllability, I can think of no more promising, subtle, and thus diabolical way to achieve this goal than to prevent pregnant women, children, and adolescents from breathing oxygen-rich, carbon dioxide-poor air under the pretext of protecting themselves and others.
