10 Mask Compilations from Team Reality
With the overturning of the CDC's mask mandate it's a good moment to catalog what we've been saying for 2 years now.
We’ve written quite a bit over the past two years about masks at Rational Ground. With mask mandates falling faster than an Omicron Gompertz curve, we thought it might be useful to review some of the best-of info from Rational Ground around mask wearing.

Our research team, an epidemiologist, a microbiologist and I, compiled the largest body of clinical and laboratory data that we have seen in the English language, over 200 studies, on the hazards of mask-wearing, over five peer-reviewed studies, at volume 1 of https://PDMJ.org. These include:
The hazards caused by micro-and nano-size particulate in deep lung tissue:

Thanks Justin. All readers need to save these and immediately start posting them everywhere as soon as the Gestapo start with this idiocy again (and they will). We missed the curve last time -- perhaps this time we will be forewarned and thus forearmed.
