This basically proves masks, when used for hours at a time, are mini pathogen incubators. The heat and moisture help the infectious organisms we normally breath in small amounts to be fruitful and multiply. I am supprised this hasent developed some new diseases yet or it has and they just have not identified them yet. All those little face mounted biology labs everywhere.
The resulting report found that five masks were contaminated with bacteria, parasites, and fungi, including three with dangerous pathogenic and pneumonia-causing bacteria. No viruses were detected on the masks, although the test is capable of detecting viruses. The analysis detected the following 11 alarmingly dangerous pathogens on the masks:
• Streptococcus pneumoniae (pneumonia)
• Mycobacterium tuberculosis (tuberculosis)
• Neisseria meningitidis (meningitis, sepsis)
• Acanthamoeba polyphaga (keratitis and granulomatous amebic encephalitis)
• Acinetobacter baumanni (pneumonia, blood stream infections, meningitis, UTIs— resistant to antibiotics) • Escherichia coli (food poisoning)
• Borrelia burgdorferi (causes Lyme disease)
• Corynebacterium diphtheriae (diphtheria)
• Legionella pneumophila (Legionnaires' disease)
• Staphylococcus pyogenes serotype M3 (severe infections—high morbidity rates)
• Staphylococcus aureus (meningitis, sepsis) Half of the masks were contaminated with one or more strains of pneumonia-causing bacteria.
Then how does this all explain why the 2020-2021 flu season was practically non-existent?

Group of Parents Sent Their Kid's Face Mask in for Testing.
Parents got fed up, and did their own independent testing, and the results are alarming. I think many ATSer's already kind of knew that masks may not be all the professionals, and experts have been telling us, but this is an eye-opener.
We've been told for well over a year that widespread forced public masking should be implemented because, even if only moderately to slightly to negligibly effective at curbing the spread of COVID-19, there are ZERO drawbacks.
"What's the harm?" they ask.
"It's only a minor inconvenience," they bleat.
"If it saves ONE LIFE, it's worth it!" they implore.
Well, one group of Florida parents sent a batch of masks worn by their children to a lab to find out. And yeah, you'll probably need to make sure you aren't eating dinner anytime soon before you digest THESE results.
Here's what the results were:
Gainesville, FL (June 16, 2021) – A group of parents in Gainesville, FL, concerned about potential harms from masks, submitted six face masks to a lab for analysis.
The resulting report found that five masks were contaminated with bacteria, parasites, and fungi, including three with dangerous pathogenic and pneumonia-causing bacteria. No viruses were detected on the masks, although the test is capable of detecting viruses. The analysis detected the following 11 alarmingly dangerous pathogens on the masks:
• Streptococcus pneumoniae (pneumonia)
• Mycobacterium tuberculosis (tuberculosis)
• Neisseria meningitidis (meningitis, sepsis)
• Acanthamoeba polyphaga (keratitis and granulomatous amebic encephalitis)
• Acinetobacter baumanni (pneumonia, blood stream infections, meningitis, UTIs— resistant to antibiotics) • Escherichia coli (food poisoning)
• Borrelia burgdorferi (causes Lyme disease)
• Corynebacterium diphtheriae (diphtheria)
• Legionella pneumophila (Legionnaires' disease)
• Staphylococcus pyogenes serotype M3 (severe infections—high morbidity rates)
• Staphylococcus aureus (meningitis, sepsis) Half of the masks were contaminated with one or more strains of pneumonia-causing bacteria.
One-third were contaminated with one or more strains of meningitis-causing bacteria. One-third were contaminated with dangerous, antibiotic-resistant bacterial pathogens. In addition, less dangerous pathogens were identified, including pathogens that can cause fever, ulcers, acne, yeast infections, strep throat, periodontal disease, Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever, and more.
The face masks studied were new or freshly-laundered before wearing and had been worn for 5 to 8 hours, most during in-person schooling by children aged 6 through 11. One was worn by an adult. A t-shirt worn by one of the children at school and unworn masks were tested as controls.
No pathogens were found on the controls. Proteins found on the t-shirt, for example, are not pathogenic to humans and are commonly found in hair, skin, and soil.
Healthy people have a very low risk of getting an A. baumannii infection, according to the CDC.
The following factors increase the risk of infection:
Having a weakened immune system
Chronic lung disease
Diabetes
Lengthy hospital stays
Illnesses that require the use of a hospital ventilator
Having an open wound treated in the hospital
Treatments requiring invasive devices like urinary catheters
Acinetobacter bacteria are not airborne, but can be spread through direct contact with surfaces, objects, or the skin of people that are contaminated with A. baumannii.

What’s the bet these parents are anti vaxxers.
A lot of those things found don’t come out of thin air, they have to be exposed to it in the first place.
How does a child in a first world country have tuberculosis?
There’s something not right here.
And don’t blame the masks, the mask didn’t give them tuberculosis.
In the United States and Europe, infections with toxigenic C. diphtheriae have become uncommon and cases are mostly imported from endemic areas.
Diphtheria was previously known as a childhood disease and owing to comprehensive routine vaccination programs, coverage is now mostly high in children within developed countries. In countries where vaccine coverage is low, circulation of toxigenic C. diphtheriae continues. In 2013, 4,680 diphtheria cases globally were reported to WHO (54), 80% of which occurred in just two countries – India and Indonesia.

Exactly, similar to an agar petri-dish.
It allows for a perfect environment for normally occurring pathogens to multiply to possibly unhealthy ppm. Our bodies immune systems can normally handle naturally occurring levels, however add masks in and now it's not a normal situation.

It’s not a “perfect” environment for pathogen growth. All those non-viral pathogens listed need more than just a warm moist environment to grow. They need a source of nutrients. When they are in your body, they scavenge your cells to provide those nutrients. That’s one of the reasons they can do damage to you when you are infected. When they are on an agar plate, it is the agar that provides those nutrients. Medical masks are made of polypropylene fibers, which is definitely not a nutrient.

During the last year of mask wearing, dentists have reported candida in the mouths of heavy wearers.
Going around with a filthy mask that is never changed by most will cause such problems. Whistleblowers have mentioned that for many long months. It makes sense, if you've ever changed air filters on machines.
For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. Is that too complex for you to understand?
