    Sick and tired of all the 'back-and-forth' about masks? Too bad -- the roller coaster ride continues!

    Disclaimer: I'm not an 'anti-vaxxer', and I do wear KN95 masks in all enclosed public places. It's the law in Colorado, and I'm all about "law-and-order". Now, we've got that out of the way....

    So -- WHAT THE HELL IS ALL THIS ABOUT TOXIC GRAPHENE IN SOME OF THE MASKS? Which masks have graphene, "biographene", "biomass graphene", et al...?

    Didn't ANYBODY check the masks for potentially harmful inclusions BEFORE we were all told that we have to wear them?! :omfg:

    Its not that graphene is harmful, its that they don't know that graphene isn't harmful. So, no, they didn't 'check'. Just some folks reported feeling unwell and they had masks containing graphene in common, so everyone is panicking now. I often feel 'unwell' wearing any mask that doesn't have a good quality, unrestricted flow exhalation valve, like a quality respirator. The masks ppl are wearing all day arent designed to be worn all day... thats what respirators were designed for.

    Well, that's a grand total of two replies. I guess it's not that big a deal after all. Everybody have a nice day, and, BREATHE DEEP! :dead:

    It looks like we both posted about the same issue.

    http://www.politicalforum.com/index...ll-for-disposable-masks-with-graphene.586707/

    I think it matters. However, we really don't have a way to check if our masks have this ingredient or go change the past of what infected masks we might have worn so what is there to say?

    Beyond that, I think people are just burnt out on all the negative news surrounding COVID. I kind of feel like that sometimes. It's like "What about variants, what about people dying after vaccination, what about this negative thing and that negative thing?" It's mentally exhausting!

    Graphene is one of al number of possible allotropes of carbon (I believe there are 12 or 13 of them). A single layer of graphene is too slender for the human eye to see. On the whole, it's pretty amazing substance and has technological benefits that we are only beginning to realize are possible. Bulletproof-vests are even being made with graphene in them these days.

    The use of graphene in travel through space, most notable the Alcubierre FTL drive and future teleportation (we have already teleported minicule objects a number of meters quite safely) is pretty much right on track.

    That it would be toxic must have to do with how it is being integrated into masks, if that is even the case. Because simply touching graphene (for instance, multiple layers bound together) is not toxic.

    I will research this as well...

    Your knowledge about graphene is very impressive, to say the least! Please let us know if there is/are any varieties of masks that you would avoid, based on this graphene issue! Thank you.

    BTW, I had browsed through some information a few years ago about successful efforts at 'teleportation' of some substances over very short distanced, but I dismissed them as being premature and not terribly convincing. I will look back into this matter again, based on your mentioning it. I still dream of being able to enter a 'chamber' of some kind and teleport myself instantly to a Kneipe in the Ahrtal....

    Nope, nobody checked the masks, and nobody did any animal or human tests on the injections.

    Mass hysteria and malfeasance in government are the order of the day.

    If your position was supportable, you would not need to lie with most every post.
