Disappointing study from Denmark which suggests that wearing a mask doesn't protect the wearer.

Hi, thought I would add another resource to take a look regarding masks compiled by a Doctor on my side of the pond.  It is supported, even if it might go against the grain ... just food for thought. I tried to upload, it did not work so here is a link https://www.vernoncoleman.com/harmthangood.pdf
Just a comment, but it seems many here are focusing on the dangers of not doing all we can, but what about the dangers of what has and is being done? I know there are things Dr. Coleman mentions that will appear to have been debunked, but he has support for his take, so who knows? Who decides and are we sure we want to give so much power over things to the State? As someone who has COPD and lower oximeter readings than even some of the older guys here, I can say that for me masks wearing has had some ill effects. For instance I breathed in some fibers and that required a Doctor visit and precautionary anti-biotics when my pulse oximeter kept beeping at levels at 93 percent and below. It is better now and I haven't had a reading below 94 the past couple days.

However, what about our rights and how long should we have "Public Health officials" and Governor's and others able to exert such potentially tyrannical powers that may or may not always be for the good of those they now use these powers over? I for one consider our right to breathe and exhale a God given and inalienable right. It really is the best way for most to breathe without this process being infringed upon. Yes, I would, have and will continue to voluntarily give it up to protect others. However, is it something that any of us should have to give up or have taken away by mandates or fines, over any extended period of time? And how about for those of us who have a greater need to breathe in and out freely like athletes in competition, older guys working out, young children with their active minds, and old guys like me with COPD??
