How Masking Contributes To Long Covid

Long Covid Syndrome

  • A lingering disorder that can last for months or years is affecting an increasing proportion of the workforce.
  • Symptoms include fatigue, brain fog, breathlessness, anxiety, depression and a loss of smell and taste.
  • Most scientists and medical doctors link the syndrome to the SARS-CoV-2 infection, but the root cause of the disease is still mysterious.

Symptoms

  • The most frequently observed symptoms for MIES overlap with those for Long Covid.
  • A meta-analysis by an interdisciplinary team of German physicians found a potential risk of Mask Induced Exhaustion Syndrome (MIES).
  • It seems likely that harmful effects by long-term mask-wearing and frequent nasopharyngeal testing with increased exposure to chemicals (not naturally found products) can accelerate symptoms.

Seeking more answers for a Long Covid mystery

  • Exposure to titanium dioxide could exacerbate inflammation of the colon (Colitis Ulcerosa) weakening the innate immune system
  • Can enter directly into the brain and cause oxidative stress in glial cells
  • Long-term exposure and high concentrations could even cause DNA damage
  • Researchers from Stanford University observed in patients with gut inflammation a link to missing gut microbes as compared to healthy persons
  • A significantly increased risk of a new onset of psychiatric illness is concentrated in the early post-acute phase of a Covid-19 infection
  • Carbon dioxide poisoning is recognized as an often-forgotten cause of intoxication in the emergency department
  • Several studies found an Increased level of carbon dioxide when wearing masks

Wearing masks and nasopharyngeal swabs could lead to (sudden) death

  • The results of Foegen’s observational study strongly suggest that mask mandates caused 50% more deaths compared to no mask mandates
  • Exposure to microplastics may result in lung fibrosis
  • Any measure that may cause oxygen deprivation or inflammation is a risk for sudden death, and more severe infectious and chronic diseases
