Studies made about the use of face masks have confirmed that they are both ineffective for protection against COVID-19 and can cause negative health effects (including through the rebreathing of some of the mask wearer's own [[carbon dioxide]] and of bacteria transferred through exhalation onto the inside of the masks); of particular concern is young children being forced to wear face masks due to mask diktats imposed by politicians and public officials for political, rather than medical, reasons.<ref>[https://www.lifesitenews.com/news/47-studies-confirm-inefectiveness-of-masks-for-covid-and-32-more-confirm-their-negative-health-effects/ 47 studies confirm ineffectiveness of masks for COVID and 32 more confirm their negative health effects] at Life Site News</ref>  Among the side effects listed from wearing face masks include lowered blood oxygen levels, impeded breathing, headaches, adverse skin reactions (including acne breakouts), yeast infections, dental issues, growth of bacteria, mold and fungi on the interiors of masks, ear protrusion in children, allergy issues, shedding of fibers or micro-plastics by face masks, altered behavior, stagnation of emotional and intellectual development in children and affectation of mental health.
