I wonder how many anti-maskers embraced cell phones (and kept them pressed to their heads without an "abundance of caution") before the data came out to indicate that the "waves" from cell phones do not cause brain cancer with routine use?

DING DING DING! You have won the hypocrisy award. The study states...
However, the increases in CO2 concentrations did not breach short-term (15-min) limits.
Although, significant increase in CO2 concentrations are noted with routinely used face-masks, the levels still remain within the NIOSH limits for short-term use. Therefore, there should not be a concern in their regular day-to-day use for healthcare providers. The clinical implications of elevated CO2 levels with long-term use of face masks needs further studies.
Many pro-maskers wear the diaper on their face for longer than 15 minutes at a time. I choose not to participate in this experiment. Feel free to be the guinea pig.
Regarding cell phones - you're absolutely right. I've always been conscious of SAR ratings, etc. However, it's also my personal choice what I do with that cell phone. I know the risks, and make decisions accordingly. The same can be said for just about anything mainstream - it's all harmful in some way shape or form. Dies, added scents, etc. Do your own research and make your own decisions on how you want to live your life. Don't tell me how to live mine.
Oh, and by the way, the CO2 levels talking point doesn't even touch on the psychological & emotional damage done to society by mask mandates and COVID "protocols", especially our youth. Suicide rates are up, speech issues, social development issues, etc.
