Assistant Secretary for Health Brett Giroir on Sunday said if 85-90% of Americans would wear a facial mask and avoid crowds, the coronavirus infection protection would be equivalent to “a complete shutdown” of the nation.
In an interview on NBC News’ “Meet The Press,” Giroir, a four-star admiral in the U.S. Public Health Service Commissioned Corps, said there is “really good data now” to prove the point.
“Both for the red zone states and the emerging yellow states, we have really good data now, both theoretical and data from places like Arizona, Texas and Florida, that if you do simple measures, like avoid the indoor crowded places, and a lot of times that are indoor bars, but you can’t have 100 people at your house either,” he said. “Do less indoor dining because that’s another place.”

Masks Cause Damage: Study Reveals Mask-Hypoxia-Blood Clot Connection
By Makia Freeman Renegade Tribune [link to stateofthenation.co]
A serious and potentially lethal hypoxia-blood clot connection has been found by a scientific study entitled Hypoxia downregulates protein S expression. The study, published in July 2018, describes how hypoxia (a low concentration of oxygen) decreases Protein S in the blood, a natural anticoagulant. This leads to an increased risk for the development of thrombosis or blood clots, some of which are potentially life-threatening. The study was unique in that it was the first time research had shown that hypoxia could increase blood clot risk via a molecular cause.
The worldwide agenda of mask wearing rules is not only unconstitutional and unlawful in many nations, but it is also CAUSING MASS HYPOXIA among the general population. In addition to the hypoxia-blood clot link, hypoxia also leads to fatigue, headaches, nausea, cognitive impairment, low energy levels and decreased immunity, thus causing mass damage to the population. Meanwhile, many jurisdictions continue to rollout out mask mandates, despite the fact that a recent CDC study even concluded that masks were ineffective and offered no significant reduction in influenza transmission. Additionally, MASK MANDATES CONTINUE TO VIOLATE WORKPLACE GUIDELINES(such as OSHA standards in the US which state the allowable oxygen levels for employees must be at or above 19.5% at all times).
[Rick in AZ adds– I didn’t even now there were OSHA standards for oxgyen for employees… hmmm… my employer might be in biiiig trouble on this point alone! My grocery store chain too. A nice tidy lawsuit might be in order on this singular point!]
The Hypoxia-Blood Clot Risk
The study is based on the fact that Protein S is a natural blood anticoagulant, since it inhibits a key clotting protein, Factor IXa. This is from the study summary:
“Because Protein S is primarily produced in the liver, the team of researchers cultured human hepatocarcinoma cells at normal oxygen and also hypoxic conditions and then measured levels of the protein. They found that increasing hypoxia not only reduced PS but also significantly increased a protein that turns on the gene to produce hypoxia. This suggested that the protein, hypoxia-inducing factor 1, might regulate Protein S, which the researchers confirmed through biochemical and genetic approaches in a mouse model.”
The study found that the level of protein S dropped by 50% when O2 levels were at 15% (instead of the normal 21%). A very well-cited article by the Oregon Dissenter entitled The lethal link between masks, hypoxia, and blood clots extrapolates this research and explains the implications:
“Just a 5% drop in blood oxygenation is considered “abnormal” but a 15% reduction will cause noticeable symptoms. These include headaches, dizziness, nausea, and cognitive impairment. Even surgeons can suffer low O2 and associated symptoms merely from wearing a surgical mask … At sea level the air we breathe is 21% oxygen. High altitude where pilots can suffer ill effects begins at even 5,000 feet. The N95 mask commonly worn eclipses that elevation; it’s well known to cause a 20% reduction in O2, which simulates the 16% O2 of 6,000 feet. As the N95 simulates a similarly low oxygen saturation, this indicates wearing a mask may decrease your natural ability to prevent blood clots by 50%. This has potentially serious implications. A web search for “blood clot covid” returns many stories about the virus-induced blood clotting and its lethality for those patients. In late June researchers in Utah discovered that platelet hyperreactivity is the cause of COVID-19 clotting.”
Let’s think about that for a moment. Some such as Dr. Robert Young have proposed that COVID is blood coagulation and not viral in nature. It’s a chicken and the egg situation, but whether hypoxia is leading to COVID, or COVID is leading to hypoxia, or one starts the downward cycle where they feed off each other, there is strong evidence of a connection – and all that is assuming that COVID is a new distinct disease (which is difficult to show given the broad vague symptoms and that SARS-CoV-2 has failed Koch’s postulates). Given this, wearing a mask is just about the worse thing you could do, infected or not, because it’s blocking your vital oxygen supply! The Oregon Dissenter continues:
“I picture people who’d otherwise survive their COVID-19 case strapping on a mask to “protect others” and essentially killing themselves … I’m sure you can identify the many problems with intentionally increasing the blood clot risk for the general population through mass compulsory masking. Already millions of people take blood thinners just to stay alive. How could it possibly be a good idea to hinder their already diminished natural clotting ability? And what about people who are unaware they have an existing clotting disorder and then wear a mask at work for hours? … Why has this extremely serious and potentially fatal side effect from wearing a mask, especially N95, not been the subject of widespread health alerts? How could any qualified health official not already know about the well established blood clot dangers of mandatory hypoxia for the masses, especially COVID-19 patients?”
Just from a health perspective alone, not even getting into the legality or ritualistic aspects or it, mask-wearing is a seriously damaging idea due to the hypoxia-blood clot connection. When will we reach the point where a critical mass of people stop complying with this insanity?

100% BALONEY! Masks KILL!!!! Only political LIARS will tell you it’s safe to inhale all day the carbon dioxide you’ve exhaled. Rebreathing CO2 (carbon dioxide) can lead to increased blood pressure, headaches, muscle twitches, rapid heart rate, chest pain, confusion, and fatigue. In extreme cases, if left untreated, hypercapnia can lead to organ damage and even have long standing effects on the brain.
Crowds is unsafe under 5G Corona Radiation Cell Towers. Had crowds not been trains, subways and planes would be shut down. All the symptoms of Coroney Baloney are the symptoms of radiation.
It would be even more effective if all the umos haolam would follow Hashem’s / the Torah’s directives on proper living, al pi the sheva mitzvos bnei Noach. But that’s making it too easy.
“David Dope” and “Keep Away…” are samples of people getting caught up in nonsense that permeates through much of the internet. It is why doctors, when treating a patient with a serious illness, will warn the patient to stay away from the internet. About 15 years ago I had a fellow employee who was diagnosed with a very serious illness. Based on the internet, we believed a replacement needed to be found as this person would be dead within 6 months. Good thing we didn’t hire anyone as this employee, 15 years, later is still working and in good health.
To see how correct Giroir is just look at New Jersey. There has been an uptick in cases all of which are directly linked to people violating the principles of masks and indoor gatherings.
