Masks are detrimental

The recent ‘mandate’ for everyone to wear a mask into any business last Friday, is an important barometer to gauge the logic, reason and critical thinking skills of the public. Several articles and videos have surfaced recently stating the risks of wearing a mask.

It has come to my attention after a few minutes of research, that wearing a mask is detrimental to your health and can compromise your immune system.

Our scientists claim that ‘normal air’ contains 21% oxygen. OSHA allows no less than 19.5% for anyone in a work environment. Masks limit our oxygen intake to be as low as 17.4% give or take. Symptoms of oxygen deprivation include, lethargy, fatigue, poor reflexes and brain function, and lowering the immune system.

Thankfully, after being to many businesses in Spokane this past weekend, most people are ignoring this mandate, as they still have the sense to think for themselves. Anyone that feels the need to wear a mask, please do so, but at least know the facts behind this mandate, which by the way Mr. Inslee doesn’t have the authority to enforce. Mandating any law or statute that limits the very air we breathe, is no less than a crime against humanity!
