Masks don’t help:
“Surgical masks will not prevent your acquiring diseases. Rather, surgical masks are typically used by surgeons to protect their patients from their mouth-borne germs — but those masks don't work to prevent inhaling diseases.”
Dr. William Schaffner, a professor of preventive medicine and infectious diseases at Vanderbilt University, and the medical director of the National Foundation for Infectious Diseases told Fox News.

World Health Organization does not recommend masks for people who are not at risk
“Nobody gives by the way publicity to the WHO’s recommendation quote they do not recommend masks for the general public, unquote, even in their updated note, if you bother to read their whole technical note they say that. And they are talking about the only time you wear a mask is if you are at risk, (in a) high risk group, in an area of widespread transmission of the disease and you cannot be three feet away from someone.”

Respiratory acidosis:
"In a world where everyone is so obsessed with alkalizing, guess what happens when you re-breathe your carbon dioxide? That’s right, blood pH drops and you retain acid and have to get rid of it some other way. I hope you have a good kidneys."

Blood pH balance: Acidosis is when your blood pH drops below 7.35 and becomes too acidic. Alkalosis is when your blood pH is higher than 7.45 and becomes too alkaline. The two main organs that help balance the pH of blood are the:
Lungs. These organs remove carbon dioxide through breathing or respiration.
Kidneys. These organs remove acids through urine or excretion.
The different types of blood acidosis and alkalosis depend on the cause. The two main types are:
Respiratory. This type occurs when the change in blood pH is caused by a lung or breathing condition.
Metabolic. This type occurs when blood pH changes are due to a kidney condition or issue
Respiratory acidosis: When your lungs aren’t able to move enough carbon dioxide out of your body quickly enough, blood pH is lowered. This is called respiratory acidosis. Symptoms can include: headache, memory loss, sleep disturbance, anxiety and personality changes. In acute respiratory acidosis, or if chronic respiratory acidosis gets progressively worse over time, the effects of raised CO2 in the brain become more severe. Symptoms can include: confusion, drowsiness, stupor, muscle jerking.
Effects of a drastically lower pH in the blood include: reduced heart muscle function,
disturbances in heart rhythm, producing arrhythmias, a drop in blood pressure.
Mask Mouth:
Dentists report that masks cause people to breathe out of their noses. As a result saliva, which is an important element in fighting cavities, dries up. Due to excessive mask wearing, people are developing cavities and gum disease at an alarming rate. The latter increases the risk of strokes.
Masks spread disease:
"You can increase your risk of getting it by wearing a mask if you are not a health care provider."
“Folks who don't know how to wear them properly tend to touch their faces a lot and actually can increase the spread of coronavirus."
US Surgeon General Dr. Jerome Adams, Interview on Fox & Friends, March 2020
“For the average member of the public walking down a street, it is not a good idea. “What tends to happen is people will have one mask. They won’t wear it all the time, they will take it off when they get home, they will put it down on a surface they haven’t cleaned. Or they will be out and they haven’t washed their hands, they will have a cup of coffee somewhere, they half hook it off, they wipe something over it. In fact, you can actually trap the virus in the mask and start breathing it in.”
Jenny Harries, MBE, Deputy Chief Medical Officer, United Kingdom
