Not only is it not effective in disease transmission, [the mask] is hurting you because no one has done a risk analysis or risk assessment on you. We don't know your airflow, your air intake, your CO2 output, yet I am telling you to cover your mouth and nose all day and then go do your work. Think about kids who are running around, and their hearts are beating hard, and then we cover their mouth and their nose. That is very dangerous. In fact, this is the reason why OSHA instituted the respirator standard in the first place because we have killed people by putting them in face coverings--covering the mouth and nose--and telling them to work all day. We've killed people because of that. We've given them heart attacks. OSHA actually created a respirator standard, that if you're going to cover somebody's mouth and nose and require them to work all day that way, then you have to do a medical evaluation first. You have to do a fit test. You have to make sure there is no breakthrough. So this is an actual OSHA standard. The intent of the law, the intent behind the law is that we don't cover the mouth and the nose. It's not healthy: one, you're not able to get in enough oxygen, and when you exhale the carbon dioxide you're not able to get it out or past the mask. So you're just breathing in and you're keeping too much CO2 in the body, which causes hypercapnia, which is the build-up of CO2 in the blood. And that causes other issues. So, hypercapnia, when you have a toxic build-up of CO2 in your blood, it actually causes your blood to become very toxic and acidic, and that causes your immune system to be suppressed. So it's important that we have good oxygen intake and CO2 expelled. Those two things are very important for us. If God wanted our mouth and nose to be covered, we wouldn't have been born with a nose that can breathe air in and a mouth that can exhale air out, right?

Why is OSHA turning a blind eye to the mask-wearing? Finally, a good question. OSHA used to cite people for violating the respiratory standard for putting people in an N95 mask without doing the whole respirator program requirements and meeting all the elements of a respirator program: 1) medical evaluation; 2) the fit test; 3) the documentation, and 4) the annual evaluation. It's a lot to follow a respirator program and people have a tough time meeting all of those requirements.
OSHA, at least in Michigan, is adopting the government's policy and violating its own standards. She simply calls it crazy, but tell us something we don't already know. Tell us how to stop the enforcement and stop the law.
Finally, at the 19:15 mark, she makes a good point. When people argue that doctors who work in an operating room all day with the masks on, the reason they don't get the same symptoms from someone working with one on for 15 to 30 minutes is that the doctors work in operating rooms that have additional airflow to make up for the fact that they're wearing masks, and most doctors don't even know it or realize it.
Air change rates, ventilation rates for infectious disease control, room pressure control [the room has to be either positive or negative pressure depending on whether she's trying to keep the pathogen in or out]. This is what she deals with on construction projects. She has to have a very precise temperature and humidity controlled room. To keep that microenvironment precisely controlled. So she keeps the oxygen rates up for the doctors and nurses who are wearing surgical masks; they need additional oxygen in that room. She keeps the pathogen and diseases at bay, so it's a sterile environment. So the surgical masks that doctors and nurses are wearing prevent transmission if somebody coughs or sneezes--those large droplets of water or mucous that could be carrying a pathogen, right? But the operating room already is a sterile environment and they're being given additional oxygen so that they're safe. The mask that they're wearing just protects the patients from coughing or sputtering, whatever, sneezing, anything like that. So when nurses get online and say that it is BS that masks are harmful, citing how they wear masks all day, and how they do their own oxygen testing, and it's perfect and that they have "no oxygen decrease level," that's because they're working in a room of very precisely controlled O2 level, additional O2, and higher airflow levels to make up for the fact that they're working in a mask.
