So glad to see this article by Megan. I have been mask-adverse since the first mandate. I have COPD from a toxic fumes exposure years ago and wearing a mask is torture for me. My blood pressure goes through the roof, which is one effect I've yet to see research on. Thank you, Justin, and Megan, for all you are doing.
On top of all of Megan's brilliant points, have you noticed that no medical professionals are talking about the asthma epidemic among children anymore? It's as if it no longer exists! As a former child asthmatic, I can't even begin to explain the terror of not only constant asthma attacks, but the daily fear of not knowing when the next attack will strike, and if breathing will even be possible. It goes beyond child abuse that kids are being forced to weak masks and restrict their breathing, both those with asthma and without. Many of them are probably too afraid to complain due to their guilt-tripping, fear-mongering parents who tell them that it "has to be this way" to protect other people's lives. If they don't wear the masks, they probably believe they'll be putting the lives of their family and other students/teachers in danger! This is all so horrific.
Watching pregnant women walking around with masks on, especially outside when it's not required, has driven me insane!!!
When my child was two he was suffering from sleep apnea because of too large tonsils. My pediatrician had me absolutely terrified because she said any time air was constricted on a developing brain could cause damage. But here we are, "training" head start children in California college daycares to wear masks all day long.

Sent this to my elementary school district…hope they read it
It’s already “retracted.” The lack of real science, and instead forced submission, is real.
this is the best study showing hypoxia. more should use this instead of retracted ones. https://linkinghub.elsevier.com/retrieve/pii/S1473050221001269
This one: Experimental Assessment of Carbon Dioxide Content in Inhaled Air With or Without Face Masks in Healthy Children was retracted.

Great post.
This major paper by German researchers also discusses the myriad harms of masking: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8072811/
