Sal Fariello warns:
The lamestream media keep pumping out articles which assert that wearing masks cannot increase CO2 concentration in the blood to the level of “dangerous” CO2 toxicity. This is all misleading claptrap.
Ah, but what else would we expect from the government’s in-house publications?
It is well established that CO2 above normal can affect human performance including reflexes, vision, balance, etc. CO2 does not have to rise to the level of dangerous life threatening toxicity to increase the risk of accidents.
The typical US legal limit for blood alcohol concentration is 0.080 … [but] you can be prosecuted for driving while impaired at much lower levels. If you cannot pass a field sobriety test of your motor skills and balance at 0.040, you can still be found to have driven while impaired. The 0.080 level is only a presumptive legal limit which sets a threshold for presumptive impairment under the law. I have personally been involved in forensic analysis of accident cases where prosecution occurred well under the presumptive legal limit. In some countries, the legal blood alcohol concentration is ZERO!
While wearing a mask may not elevate the blood CO2 level to potential death levels of toxicity, forcing people to wear a mask can be roughly the equivalent of forcing them to belt down a couple of shots of booze before getting into their car. Maybe the dangerous life threatening toxicity level has not been reached. But the dangerous accident causation level can be a devastating reality.
Getting a buzz on for “public health”! Can’t you see Leviathan laughing himself sick over this one?
The typical metabolic burnoff rate for alcohol is about 0.015 per hour. There are not enough human factors studies to clearly establish the “burnoff” rate for clearing CO2 from your blood with fresh air after a face mask elevates the concentration. Even if normal CO2 level could be reached after only 10 minutes of breathing fresh air, and even if a normal CO2 level could be confirmed by an arterial blood gas test, a satisfactory blood gas test does not confirm the non-existence of residual human performance degradation for a certain period of time after normal CO2 is reached.
There seems to be anecdotal evidence that we should expect adverse residual physiological effects of excess CO2 even after the level has returned to normal. The U.S. Navy Diving Manual, Revision 7, states at page 3-17:
“Excess carbon dioxide also dilates the arteries of the brain. This may partially explain the headaches often associated with carbon dioxide intoxication, though these headaches are more likely to occur following the exposure than during it.”
Notice the use of the word “intoxication.”
Oh, I did. It explains a lot. Remember: some of the Masked Morons vote. And Our Rulers know that they vote.
