DISINFO: Imposing the wearing of masks is a crime against humanity and an abuse against children

SUMMARY

Imposing the wearing of masks, allegedly to reduce contamination with Covid 19, is a crime against humanity and an abuse against children. Breathing our exhaled air will undoubtedly create an oxygen deficiency and an influx of carbon dioxide.

RESPONSE

It is a conspiracy theory promoted intensely since the beginning of the pandemic. The Stopfals.md portal talked to several doctors in Moldova who have to wear masks all day, not only during the pandemic. These specialists deny the speculation that the mask would damage the brain or respiratory organs and urge people to follow the rules of protection. The World Health Organization (WHO) dismantles the myth that prolonged use of medical masks causes oxygen deficiency.
