They wrote that there was ‘reduced verbal, motor, and overall cognitive performance of two full standard deviations in scores in children born during the pandemic,’ but the study could not conclusively prove that the masks were directly responsible for any of these complications. However, mammal experiments show that mice and rats with prolonged exposed to 0.3 percent carbon dioxide gave birth to offspring which had ‘irreversible neuron damage’.

- The NIOSH eight-hour threshold limit for safe CO2 concentrations is 0.5 percent
- The researchers found that almost all of the studies exceeded that standard
- Mask-wearing can expose children to dangerous levels of CO2 in just 3 minutes
Face masks may raise the risk of stillbirths, testicular dysfunction and cognitive decline in children, ‘explosive’ new research suggests.
A review of dozens of studies on face coverings suggested they can cause mild carbon dioxide poisoning when worn over long periods.
The German academics who carried out the research believe masks create a pocket of dead space between the mouth and mask, which traps the toxic gas.
They say the build-up of CO2 in pregnant women’s bodies could cause complications for the unborn fetus. They point out that CO2 also contributes to oxidative stress, which can affect cognition and cause testicular issues in men.
But independent doctors have questioned the conclusions of the study — which never directly looked at health complications and mask use, describing the link as ‘unlikely’.
