Weaponised Inflation & “Green” Agenda Havoc: Is High Inflation Only Affecting Essential Goods?

Inflation can be (and is) a major instrument of global control. Market manipulation can affect real-world outcomes in countless ways through a domino effect of economics. In order to control the human population on earth, targeting essential goods and services should, unsurprisingly, be a priority. Human life’s existence is contingent to, and downstream of, the essential resources, amenities, and services available to it. Shocks to the global market in false flags and psyops like pandemics, conflicts, and other artificial upheavals can hugely disrupt a fragile market ecosystem.

The pandemics were hellbent on closing down businesses in absence of strong evidence. This closed down production and the flow of many goods causing supply chain disruption and longer term inflationary pressures that are felt until this day – spiking the prices of countless goods and services as demand was artificially stripped, causing a consequential decline in supply due to businesses going bankrupt.

The inscriptions dealt with four main themes: “governance and the establishment of a world government, population and reproduction control, the environment and humankind’s relationship to nature, and spirituality.” The inscription read: Maintain humanity under 500,000,000 in perpetual balance with nature.

The Georgia Guidestones inscriptions, Wikipedia

The inscription reads:

• Maintain humanity under 500,000,000 in perpetual balance with nature.
• Guide reproduction wisely – improving fitness and diversity.
• Unite humanity with a living new language.
• Rule passion – faith – tradition – and all things with tempered reason.
• Protect people and nations with fair laws and just courts.
• Let all nations rule internally resolving external disputes in a world court.
• Avoid petty laws and useless officials.
• Balance personal rights with social duties.
• Prize truth – beauty – love – seeking harmony with the infinite.
• Be not a cancer on the Earth – Leave room for nature – Leave room for nature.

Note: On July 6, 2022, an explosive device was detonated at the Guidestones’ site, destroying the Swahili/Hindi language slab and causing significant damage to the capstone. Nearby residents reportedly heard and felt explosions at around 4:00 a.m. Both the Elberton Granite Association and the Elberton city council expressed doubt that the guidestones would be rebuilt, but expressed hope that one day it could happen.

Inflation affecting essential goods and services more than nonessential consumer goods and services

The carbon tax and pressures imposed onto governments and megacorporations has stoked worldwide inflation – if companies must reduce their carbon footprint under duress, they, and their suppliers, will have to adjust leading to raising prices on end products and services.

Read: The Green Agenda and the Plan to Collapse the Industrial World Economy

Because financial investors on Wall Street and London saw the benefit of huge profits from the Green energy agenda, working with the Davos World Economic Forum (WEF) to promote the laughable ESG investing model, conventional oil, gas and coal companies are not investing profits in expanded production. In 2020 worldwide spending on oil, gas, coal dropped by an estimated $1 trillion. That is not coming back. With BlackRock and other investors all but boycotting ExxonMobil and other energy companies in favor of “sustainable” energy, the knock-on effects on global inflation are dire.

A fundamental aggravating cause for the recent shortages of abundant coal, gas and oil is the decision by BlackRock and other global money trusts to force investment away from oil, gas or coal—all perfectly safe and necessary energy sources—to buildup of grossly inefficient and unreliable solar or wind. They call it ESG investing. It is the latest rage on Wall Street and other world financial markets ever since BlackRock CEO Larry Fink joined the Board of the Klaus Schwab World Economic Forum in 2019. They set up front ESG certifying companies that award ESG “politically correct” ratings on stock companies, and punishing those who do not comply. The rush into ESG investing has made billions for Wall Street and friends. It has also put the brakes on future development of oil, coal or natural gas for most of the world.

This is not by mistake.

If the EU continues with the suicidal “Green” agenda, it will find itself in a deindustrialized wasteland in a few short years. The problem is not gas, coal or nuclear. It is the inefficient Green Energy from solar and wind that will never be able to offer stable, reliable power.

The Green Energy Agenda of the EU, US and other governments along with the Davos-promoted ESG investing will only guarantee that as we go forward there will be even less gas or coal or nuclear to fall back on when the wind stops, there is a drought in hydroelectric dams or lack of sunshine.

It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to realize this is a road to economic destruction. But that’s in fact the goal of the UN 2030 “sustainable” energy or the Davos Great Reset: population reduction on a massive scale. We humans are the frogs being slowly boiled. And now the Powers That Be are really turning the heat up.

If you are clean and green, you potentially get investment.

If you are deemed a carbon polluter as the oil, gas and coal industries are deemed today, the global capital flows will disinvest or avoid funding you.

The immediate target of this financial cabal is the backbone of the world economy, the oil and gas industry along with coal. [It has also geopolitical and strategic implications].

Just take a look at the dramatic news in France to see the effects of the “Green” policies, French farmers are rioting. England is seeing the same thing, Germany too with protests over plans to end agricultural fuel subsidies, and the whole of Europe and beyond.

Essential goods essential to human life and human thriving are hit hardest

Is it a coincidence (see above chart) that various distracting and nonessential goods and services, such as toys, cellphones, televisions and software are defying global inflation trends? These are invariably tools of mass distraction and mass propaganda, ensuring these items are in every household offers a certain usefulness in the global elite disruptors’ arsenal.

Recently in the USA, eggs have experienced an incredibly high rate of inflation (60%). Eggs represent an essential highly nutritious ingredient for numerous other food items, presenting knock-on effects in prices of other goods that contain it.

What apparently caused the spike? A disease — commonly known as bird flu, which is highly contagious and lethal among birds. It killed tens of millions of egg-laying hens, leading to an egg shortage.

“It’s a supply disruption, ‘act of God’ type stuff,”

Brian Moscogiuri, a global trade strategist at Eggs Unlimited

An act of God could be a called a “miracle”, that’s something not very likely to happen by pure chance – which calls the situation into some suspicion. So, act of God? Or deliberate act?

Hydrocarbons Under Attack

The immediate target of this financial cartel is the backbone of the world economy, the oil, coal and natural gas sector. Oil industry analysts predict that over the next five years or less investment flows into the world’s largest energy sector will fall dramatically. “Given how central the energy transition will be to every company’s growth prospects, we are asking companies to disclose a plan for how their business model will be compatible with a net zero economy,” BlackRock’s chairman and CEO Larry Fink wrote in his 2021 letter to CEOs.

Blackrock is the world’s largest investment group with over $7 trillion to invest. Another BlackRock officer told a recent energy conference:

“where BlackRock goes, others will follow.”

As a new Biden Administration pushes their ideological opposition to so-called fossil fuels, the world will see a precipitous decline in oil and gas investment. The role of the Davos globalists and the ESG financial players are out to guarantee that.

And the losers will be us.

Energy prices will skyrocket as they did during the recent Texas blizzards. The cost of electricity in industrial countries will become prohibitive for manufacturing industry. But rest well. This is all part of the ongoing Great Reset and its new doctrine of ESG investing.

At the end of this road, there won’t be any sufficient green replacements as suggested and promised. Prices will have gone up and less human life will reside on the face of the Earth.

In 2010 the head of Working Group 3 of the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, Dr Otmar Edenhofer, told an interviewer, “…one must say clearly that we redistribute de facto the world’s wealth by climate policy. One has to free oneself from the illusion that international climate policy is environmental policy. This has almost nothing to do with environmental policy anymore…” The WEF Great Reset is not simply a big idea of Klaus Schwab reflecting on the economic devastation of the coronavirus. It has been long planned by the money masters.

Essential (animal product based) vitamins for fertility targeted by the “Green” (depopulation) agenda:

There are some essential vitamins found only in animal products, some of these are essential to reproductive health. Vitamin A (Retinol), B12, Carnitine, Iodine, Carnosine, Creatine, D3, DHA, EPA, Heme Iron, and Taurine.

Below see vitamins that are only really found in animal products that are also essential for human reproductive health:

• Iodine is an essential mineral, though few food sources are rich in it. The foods highest in iodine include seaweed, dairy, tuna, shrimp and eggs – so animal products on the whole. It was found that iodine deficient women took on average one month longer to conceive than the women who were iodine sufficient. Not only this, but the iodine deficient women were significantly less likely to have gotten pregnant after trying for at least 13 months. In particular, iodine is taken up avidly by the ovary and endometrium. Iodine deficiency is associated with reduced fertility.
• Carnitine (Acetyl L-Carnitine) is quite important for fertility and only found in meat and animal products, which the WEF green agenda is targeting. L-carnitine also seems to play a role in sperm health. Oral LC and ALC supplements have been shown to improve sperm motility. And adding LC to sperm before it is frozen for later use in fertility treatments seemed to improve the sperm’s vitality and motility. Carnitine is only really present in animal products, especially red meat. Poultry, fish, and dairy foods also provide some carnitine.
• Vitamin D – this is essential for fertility, and guess what? The best food sources of vitamin D are animal products: Oily fish, including salmon, mackerel, and sardines. Other sources include egg yolks, red meat, and liver. Once again, items demonised by the green agenda. Women with better vitamin D levels in the pre-conceptual period have reduced risk of miscarriage and better rates of conception during IVF.
• Iron – This vitamin is important to fertility and can be found in plant-based sources, but meat and animal products are, once again, the best and most plentiful source, in particular liver and organ meats. Research has linked iron deficiency to ovulatory infertility.
• Zinc – The richest food sources of zinc include meat, fish, and seafood. Oysters contain more zinc per serving than any other food, but beef contributes 20% of zinc intakes from food in the United States because it is commonly consumed. Eggs and dairy products also contain zinc. Zinc is a critical component in a number of conserved processes that regulate female germ cell growth, fertility, and pregnancy. Zinc is also an essential mineral for sperm formation.

Industrial Vegetable Oils: Evolutionary Mismatch, The Ancestral Ratio, Endocrine Chaos, & Fueling the LGBTQ+ Crisis?

A major overlooked danger of industrially processed seed/vegetable oils is that they are absolutely loaded with endocrine disruptors. According to the below linked study they have 2-7x more endocrine disruptors than a plastic water bottle. It was overall found that phthalates (endocrine disruptors) were detected with “extremely high concentrations” in edible oils.

As a quick reminder; seed oils are refined from the seeds of crops, often using harmful industrial methods including solvents, high heat, and large amounts of mechanical pressure. Altogether, producing a threat to health that is passed on to the consumer, as well as the knock-on effects to the environment: “Estrogenic compounds (ECs) at environmentally relevant concentrations can adversely affect fishes and other animals”. Industrial oils are made using industrial byproducts, and marketed through paid ‘experts’ to convince the public they are buying a health product, this has been going on for many decades, stretching far back into the 20th century.

If we do examine history, cottonseed oil, as an example, was consigned to the status of “toxic waste” until the enterprising Procter & Gamble realized that all that unwanted cottonseed oil could be used to produce soap. But there was another plus that appealed to their business sensibilities: the oil could be chemically altered via a process called “hydrogenation” to turn it into a solid cooking fat that resembled lard. That’s how an oil formerly classified as “toxic waste” became an integral part of the American diet when Crisco was introduced to the market in the early 1900s.

Soon, other vegetable oils followed. Soybeans were introduced to the United States in the 1930s, and by the 1950s, it had become the most popular vegetable oil in the country. Canola, corn, and safflower oils followed shortly after that. The low cost of these cooking oils, combined with strategic marketing on the part of the oil manufacturers, made them wildly popular in American kitchens even though their use was unprecedented in human history.

Edible oil today is one of the most significant ingredients in the global human diet, and its global annual production and consumption has been increasing steadily, with 203.83 million metric tons produced and 197.33 million metric tons of vegetable edible oil consumed in 2018.

“We have to feed the masses (with toxic industrial oils), there’s just not enough olive oil for everyone.”

Charles Henning, Former President of the Culinary Institute of America

Source: Global review of phthalates in edible oil: An emerging and nonnegligible exposure source to human

The linked study investigated the presence of seven major phthalates in nine different kinds of edible oils (i.e. olive, rapeseed, peanut, sesame, tea seed, corn, soybean, sunflower, and blended oil) and their potential impacts on human. The respective total average phthalates concentrations in the oils studied were found to be 6.01, 2.79, 2.63, 2.03, 1.73, 1.66, 1.57, 1.26, and 0.72 mg/kg.

Presumably, the oils in question are either industrially processed or not cold-pressed/extra virgin (i.e., adulterated by industrial processes), meaning they have, at one or more stages, come into contact with processing apparatus or chemicals that can transfer phthalates and adulterate them from their virgin, unaltered states.

The study concluded that it had provided “the first evidence that edible oil is a potential source of phthalates, thus the potential adverse estrogenic effects on human health should need to be assessed in a holistic manner.”

The study concluded that: “Although the human daily consumption of edible oil is much less than that of bottled water, the human daily intakes of the average EEQ via the nine kinds of edible oils were estimated to be 0.7-4.9 times of that via bottled water, indicating that the potential adverse estrogenic effects of phthalates in edible oils on human beings should not be ignored.”

Key takeaways from the study:

• Human daily intakes of seven main phthalates via edible oil are much higher than those via bottled water
• The seven-phthalates-derived average estrogen equivalence values in edible oils are 45-396 times those in bottled water
• Phthalates in edible oil are important but neglected source to human beings

Another study found that frying oil that quickly oxidises, such as canola (rapeseed oil) was a concerning source of exogenous (not produced by the body, unnatural) estrogen, “with implications for food and environmental safety”.

The implications of a highly estrogenic environment on society

The omnipresence of industrial “seed” oils cannot be overstated. These oils were invented when there was no meaningful health regulation (60s/70s/80s), then became increasingly popular based on flawed research suggesting they were heart healthy, which has since been thoroughly disproven. They are vastly cheaper to produce than naturally cold-pressed oils such as superior grade olive oil, and help to artificially extend the shelf life of products, hence their huge popularity with businesses around the world.

Another point to mention is that natural oils – like olive oil – can be mixed (blended) with industrial oils as a profit-boosting strategy by manufacturers, meaning that many consumers unknowingly purchase oils that can still cause them harm under the guise of a natural and healthy product. Vegetable oil spreads or any other such ‘low saturated fat’ alternative ‘butter’ spreads have fooled us into thinking avoiding butter and natural fats is healthy.

The polyunsaturated fatty acids in industrial seed oils are highly unstable and oxidize easily upon exposure to heat, light, and chemical inputs. When industrial seed oils are exposed to these factors, two harmful substances—trans fats and lipid peroxides—are created. When consumed, the body uses these damaged fats in the composition of our bodies and brains. Perhaps, therefore, it’s not a coincidence that increased vegetable oil consumption correlates with higher rates of obesity, heart disease, cancer, diabetes, alzheimer’s, and other modern health problems. Many of which are dubbed fittingly as “modern diseases”; because their prevalence just 100 years ago was negligible.

Dr. Joseph Hibbeln from the National Institutes of Health has researched the impact of omega 6 and omega 3 fats on our health. He explains that over-consuming omega 6 fats (in industrial seed/vegetable oils) and under-consuming omega 3 fats significantly increases:

• Heart disease
• Type 2 diabetes
• Obesity
• Metabolic syndrome or pre-diabetes
• Irritable bowel syndrome
• Inflammatory bowel syndrome
• Macular degeneration (eye damage and blindness)
• Rheumatoid arthritis
• Asthma
• Cancer
• Psychiatric disorders
• Autoimmune disease

Evolutionary Mismatch, The Ancestral Ratio, and Modern Diseases

Not only is seed consumption at such a massive scale new to the human diet, but all of these oils are also high in an omega-6 polyunsaturated fatty acid (or PUFA) called linoleic acid. The human genome is not remotely accustomed (or prepared biologically) to handle these substances, humans having consumed (mainly) saturated fats for many millennia prior to the industrial revolution, extending back to the dawn of mankind, far before the Neolithic era.

Industrial seed oils are perhaps the most significant contributor to the imbalanced omega-6-to-omega-3 ratio characteristic of Westernized diets and thus play a significant role in chronic inflammatory diseases.

Evolutionary mismatch, a mismatch between our genes and the modern environment, is the primary driver of chronic disease today. In few areas is evolutionary mismatch more apparent than in the Standard American Diet; the high amounts of refined carbohydrates and calories of this diet work against our ancestral biology, causing us to become overweight and sick.

Industrial seed oils, like refined sugar and excess calories, also represent an evolutionary mismatch. Up until the 1900s, humans did not consume industrial seed oils. From 1970 to 2000, the average consumption of one industrial seed oil, soybean oil, skyrocketed from a mere four pounds per person per year to a whopping 26 pounds per person per year!

Today, linoleic acid, the primary fatty acid in industrial seed oils, accounts for 8 percent of our total calorie intake; in our hunter–gatherer ancestors, it accounted for only 1 to 3 percent of total calories. Researchers who are wise on the topic of evolutionary mismatch posit that our bodies just aren’t designed to handle such a massive consumption of linoleic acid. As a result, our high levels of industrial seed oil consumption are causing our health to suffer.

A delicate balance between omega-6 and omega-3 fatty acids must be maintained in the body to promote optimal health. The ancestral ratio of omega-6 to omega-3 is 1 to 1. Westernized diets, however, greatly exceed this balance, with omega-6 to omega-3 ratios in the range of 10 to 1 to 20 to 1. (8) A high intake of omega-6 fatty acids, combined with low omega-3 intake, leads to an imbalance in pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory mediators. This imbalance produces a state of chronic inflammation that contributes to numerous chronic disease processes.

Unfortunately, all this has resulted in the worst epidemic of chronic disease in history, with global explosions of heart disease, type 2 diabetes and obesity (or what I call diabesity) and cancer. Not to mention the widespread onset of LGBTQ+ identities, formed in-utero by exposure to gender-bending influences.

What types of oils and fats should we choose that protect our heart and brain and reduce inflammation? Look to the types of fats our ancestors have used for thousands of years—olive oil, coconut oil, and animal fats are natural, wholesome sources of fatty acids for nourishing our bodies. I prefer traditional fats, such as:

• Extra-virgin, cold-pressed, organic coconut oil—my personal favorite because it is excellent cell fuel, is highly anti-inflammatory and may help with improving your cholesterol panel
• Extra-virgin, cold-pressed, organic olive oil
• Avocados
• Grass-fed meats
• Grass-fed butter
• Nuts—walnuts, almonds, pecans, macadamia; not peanuts
• Fatty fish—sardines, mackerel, herring and wild salmon—that are rich in omega 3 fats

How to Avoid Industrial Seed Oils

The first step in banishing industrial seed oils from your diet is to clean out your pantry and get rid of any bottles of canola, corn, cottonseed, soybean, sunflower, safflower, or peanut oils you have in your kitchen. These oils are not “healthy,” despite misleading claims that may appear on their labels.

Step number 2 is to stop eating processed foods, as these are a significant source of industrial seed oils. Also try to reduce your consumption of restaurant foods, which are typically cooked in repeatedly heated industrial seed oils.

Finally, step 3 is to avoid eating grain-fed meat, to the extent you can. There is evidence to suggest that grain-fed animals may accumulate the toxic byproducts of industrial seed oils, which comprise a large part of their diet, in their meat; when you eat this meat, you too may become a repository for lipid peroxides and other harmful byproducts of industrial seed oils.

Quick rundown: How Are Industrial Seed Oils Made?

The general process used to create industrial seed oils is anything but natural. The oils extracted from soybeans, corn, cottonseed, safflower seeds, and rapeseeds must be refined, bleached, and deodorized before they are suitable for human consumption.

1. First, seeds are gathered from the soy, corn, cotton, safflower, and rapeseed plants.
2. Next, the seeds are heated to extremely high temperatures; this causes the unsaturated fatty acids in the seeds to oxidize, creating byproducts that are harmful to human and animal health.
3. The seeds are then processed with a petroleum-based solvent, such as hexane, to maximize the amount of oil extracted from them.
4. Next, industrial seed oil manufacturers use chemicals to deodorize the oils, which have a very off-putting smell once extracted. The deodorization process produces trans fats, which are well known to be quite harmful to human health.
5. Finally, more chemicals are added to improve the color of the industrial seed oils.

Altogether, industrial seed oil processing creates an energy-dense, nutrient-poor oil that contains chemical residues, trans fats, and oxidized byproducts.

Face Mask Wearing Risks Irreversibly Damaging Unborn Babies

Face masks have become a widely adopted practice after an initial (rightful) rejection of their lackluster efficacy in the wake of Covid-19 “plandemic”, the 180 made by many western governments is, undoubtedly, a propagandistic way to use masks as a visual reminder of lockdown above any actual practical benefits to the individual donning this kind of accoutrement.

But it has become more and more evident that we are not getting a clear picture on the real risks masks pose to our health. Perhaps, most significantly, to the next generation of unborn babies that will be widely suffering in-utero hypoxia (low oxygen levels in the womb) for as long as this inane mask-wearing practice continues. Pregnant mothers that wear masks are risking their own health and certainly their baby’s health too.

Breathable Face Masks could provide a solution: find out more here

The results of this assault on pregnant women will have unstoppable knock-on effects as a generation crippled by oxygen deprivation and brain damage are released into the post-covid world of tomorrow. Such damage to unborn children will also cause a drop in fertility rates anywhere mask-wearing has been mandated.

Low oxygen exposure in the womb (hypoxia) can cause the following in newborn children (source, source):

• Lower brain weight
• Delayed brain development
• Abnormal brain connections
• Impaired learning and memory
• Altered gene expression
• Altered brain chemistry

Hypoxia threatens brain function during the entire life-span starting from early fetal age up to senescence. This review compares the short-term, long-term and life-spanning effects of fetal chronic hypoxia and neonatal anoxia on several behavioral paradigms including novelty-induced spontaneous and learning behaviors. Furthermore, it reveals that perinatal hypoxia is an additional threat to neurodegeneration and decline of cognitive and other behaviors during the aging process.

Hypoxia and brain development, C Nyakas et al

Impaired oxygen supply (hypoxia) or reduced blood flow (ischemia) to the brain causes significant metabolic changes in neuronal and non-neural cells. It first leads to a rapid change in membrane lipid composition and enzyme activities and then to long-term changes in gene expression and levels of protein synthesis. They are often considered as major factors leading to cognitive impairment, seizures, and other neurological disabilities. The data accumulated to date suggest that vascular factors and reduced levels of oxygen supply to the brain are linked with the pathogenesis of various neurodegenerative disorders, in particular of Alzheimer’s disease (AD), and can affect their progression.

Editorial: Brain Hypoxia and Ischemia: New Insights Into Neurodegeneration and Neuroprotection, Natalia N Nalivaeva et al

Pregnant women normally already have low oxygen levels, which is the body’s way of protecting the growing baby from hypercapnia. But that means even normal to slightly elevated levels of CO2 during pregnancy can potentially harm the baby.

Masks do not help to prevent the spread of Covid-19

There is a reason face masks have not been recommended during the flu seasons of the past – for the most part, studies show that they are ineffective. Surgical face masks, handkerchiefs and especially cloth masks do not reduce the spread of viruses by fine aerosols, such as we see with flu viruses and Covid-19.

As previously mentioned, there’s also a significant health risk to wearing a mask; namely, lower oxygen and higher carbon dioxide levels. Unfortunately the more effective the mask is at filtering small particles from the air, the more it will restrict your ability to breathe.

With multilayered masks and surgical masks, and even more so the N95 (P2) respirator mask – a person can maintain fairly normal blood oxygenation and CO2 levels for a relatively short period. But to do this requires him or her to breathe more deeply and more often to compensate for the oxygen restriction caused by the mask. Usually after an hour or two, a person will begin to feel fatigue from fighting the mask, which will allow the blood oxygen to progressively fall and CO2 levels to rise.

A study of surgeons wearing face masks for up to four hours demonstrated a progressive reduction in blood oxygen levels, which was sufficient to cause problems with their judgment.

To add fuel to the fire, aggressive atherosclerosis, which can lead to strokes and heart attacks in later life, can be induced by intermittent hypoxia – intermittent use of face masks meets this criteria. Diseases like atherosclerosis begin to develop early, and usually culminate in a victim’s later years.

We found that the IH (Intermittent Hypoxia) accelerated growth and vulnerability of atherosclerotic plaque, which probably acted by triggering the activation of proinflammatory TLR4/NF-κB signaling. These findings may suggest that IH is a risk factor for vulnerable plaque and provide a new insight into the treatment of OSA (Obstructive Sleep Apnea)-induced AS (Atherosclerosis) progression.

Contribution of TLR4 signaling in intermittent hypoxia-mediated atherosclerosis progression, X Zheng et al

Putting facemasks on newly hospitalized patients risks putting them on ventilators; raising mortality rates

When newly hospitalized Covid-19 patients are made to put on face masks, their blood gases will fall causing them to be put on ventilators. It makes no sense to make somebody that is having trouble breathing wear a mask. Placing patients on ventilators can cause their lungs to decompensate with a very high risk of death (70 to 80 percent).

So, are masks actually a devious tactic deliberately employed to possibly amplify Covid-19 death statistics? Especially for already vulnerable (obese, smokers, etc) but otherwise healthy patients admitted to ICUs.

These masks seem to be the killing blow in so many cases; enough to push susceptible people over the edge, onto the ventilator, and then into the coffin.

Why are some studies advocating mask-wearing?

Studies that support mask-wearing, in many cases, aren’t reflecting the real world. For example, virtually every study excludes people with chronic health problems; smokers, vapers, and obese individuals. In other words they are carefully selecting (cherry-picking?) mostly young, healthy people to study.

In the real world there is a (much) higher percentage of obese people. In the United States, for example, more than two-thirds of adults are overweight or obese. That’s a significant demographic to just ignore. In Italy, about a quarter of Italians smoke. These are consequential pieces of data, as you can see. And that’s not even considering immune suppressed people, people on prescription drugs, people using illegal drugs, frail and/or elderly people, and people with psychological or behavioral issues.

But these people are never tested for their tolerance of mask wearing.
