Prolonged mask-wearing is probably deforming our kids’ ears

Posted on      by     

Here is a paper from June of last year: “Can the elastic of surgical face masks stimulate ear protrusion in children?”

The unfortunate answer is yes, it can:

“All bodies subject to the action of a force undergo deformation, which depends not only on the intensity of the force applied, but also on the nature of the body itself. In general, deformations can be of two types: elastic, which disappear when the force is no longer applied, and non-elastic, which remain even after applying the force. Cartilage has memory thanks to the presence of elastic fibres; although this allows it to return to its initial condition when deformed, if the stimulus persists, it can lead to permanent changes in its conformation…

…It is well known that the pressure of the elastic on the skin of the posterior concha of the auricle for a long time causes pain and erythema, due to the continuous rubbing of the elastic on the skin in the same position. This has led some users to apply silicone rear ear supports that decrease decubitus, but increase the distance of the auricle from the mastoid region. Others, on the other hand, prefer to change the position of the elastic by moving it more towards the antihelix than the mastoid region, thus applying an elastic force in an area where the cartilage has less resistance, with a consequent increase in the cephaloauricular angle of the outer auricle.

Therefore, the use of surgical masks with ear loops in growing children for many hours a day not only leads to intolerance and decubitus of the retroauricular skin (as for adults), but can also influence the correct growth and angulation of the outer ear with the consequent increase in the incidence of protrusion of the outer auricle.”

Permanent physical damage to those least likely to be harmed by COVID-19.

State of Virginia refused to perform autopsy after 58-year old woman died within hours of receiving COVID vax

Posted on      by     

Tragic story. Open records requests found emails that indicated that officials worried that Drene Keye’s death could worsen “vaccine hesitancy” among minorities. Keye’s family is conducting their own investigation to discover the truth.

I have a feeling that treating a black family this way isn’t going to go over well within the black community. Refusing to acknowledge the possibility of a link between the vaccine and her death, refusing an autopsy, and instructing officials to respond to questions about the lack of an autopsy with, “a full autopsy was not needed in order to ascertain whether the death was related to the vaccination”, is outrageous, a scandal.

39-year old single mom dies 4 days after second Moderna dose

Posted on      by     

Kassidi Kurrill received the second Moderna dose on February 1st. She stayed in bed for the next two days, but on the third day she knew something wasn’t right. Her liver failed the next day, followed by her kidneys and then her heart. Her parents offered up parts of their organs to donate, but her body shut down too quickly to operate.

It’s very important to read these stories and understand that real people are dying, and it is sudden and heartbreaking. Sure, it may be rare, but it does happen. Is it a reaction to the polyethylene glycol, the lipid that encases the mRNA, or the body rejecting outright the attempt to insert a foreign genetic code into the body’s cells?

Even given these risks, is it worth it to get the vaccine? Cost/benefit should be weighed by everyone. What is the proof that the vaccines are more effective/safe than becoming infected with the actual virus?

It would be interesting to have the option to consciously infect oneself with the Sars-COV2 as opposed to the vaccine. Probably much safer for some, while providing effectively 100% chance of developing long-term immunity.

These governors wrecked their economies and destroyed the lives of their citizens for nothing. What now? Who gets to face a jury first?

Oklahoma bill amendment would force schools and cities to provide actual science before mandating masks

Posted on      by     

Oklahoma Senator Rob Standridge’s admendment to SB541 would require three very specific types of published, scientific proof of the effectiveness of specific masks before a mandate can be enacted or continued. And if three published, peer-reviewed sources are provided that show that masks can inflict harm upon the wearer, the mask mandate will be invalidated.

SECTION 2. NEW LAW A new section of law to be codified
in the Oklahoma Statutes as Section 1-508.2 of Title 63, unless
there is created a duplication in numbering, reads as follows:
A. As used in this section:
1. “Relevant study” means:
a. b. c.
a randomized controlled study,
a peer reviewed study, or
a study performed by one or more researchers that has
not been discredited and is published in a print or
electronic research journal;
2. “Significant adverse effects” means recurring headaches,
negative impact on the cardiovascular system, negative impact on
the cardiopulmonary system including but not limited to any
reduction in blood oxygenation or respiratory volume, significant
nausea and vomiting or other side effects that a reasonable
physician would consider significant; and
3. “Substantial harm” means:
a.
b. c. d. e. f.
bacterial, viral or other infection, most commonly
from device contamination,
reduced cardiovascular function,
reduced cardiopulmonary function,
psychological harm,
negative impact on learning for students, or
other adverse effects that a reasonable physician
would conclude pose a risk of substantial harm.

1 B. 1. A state entity, institution within The Oklahoma State
2 System of Higher Education, technology center school district or
3 political subdivision including, but not limited to, a school
4 district board of education may only implement a mandate to wear a
5 mask or any other medical device as provided in this subsection and
6 shall state any purpose or purposes for the mandate in the text of
7 the mandate.
8 2. The mandate must reference three (3) or more relevant
9 studies that show the mask or medical device has proven
10 effectiveness for the exact purpose or purposes stated in the
11 mandate. Studies that do not include all masks or medical devices
12 that could qualify as such under the mandate or do not address all
13 purposes stated in the mandate, and in the case of a mask the
14 potential for mitigation of transmission of bacterial or viral
15 infection, shall not qualify as one of the required three (3) or
16 more studies.
17 3. The mandate shall be invalidated if three (3) or more
18 relevant studies that show possible significant adverse effects as
19 a result of wearing a mask or medical device that would satisfy the

21 to the state entity, institution within The Oklahoma State System

1 required under the mandate is found not to be effective for any of

4 5. The mandate shall be immediately invalidated if any mask or
