A petri dish swabbed from a mask after less than half an hour reveals a dense colony of multiplying bacteria.
Trapped moisture, restricted airflow, and prolonged wear creates the perfect incubator against your face.
Masks were mandated as a public health measure in spite of the fact that, as stated by the manufacturers, they don't provide virus protection.
Constant facial covering posed its own risks, such as reduced oxygen intake, discomfort, and bacterial buildup. This was especially the case for vulnerable groups like children and the elderly.
What if, instead of protecting ourselves, we were just breeding something else entirely?
