The statements claim that a new study by German researchers indicates that wearing masks can lead to severe consequences in children, including death, issues with natality, testicular dysfunction, and cognitive decline. It also suggests that masks can cause carbon dioxide poisoning even when worn for short periods, contributing significantly to increased mortality rates among newborns when worn by pregnant women. The study allegedly reviews 43 previous studies on CO2 exposure, mask-wearing, and pregnancy, claiming that even short-term exposure to low CO2 concentrations can cause brain damage and anxiety in pregnant rats and young mice. Furthermore, it references a significant increase in global neonatal mortality rates and cognitive deficits in children born after the flu. However, the claims made in the statements are not supported by credible scientific evidence and are contradicted by established research. The overall consensus in the scientific community is that masks are effective in reducing the transmission of respiratory viruses, including COVID-19, and do not pose significant health risks when used properly. The claims about CO2 levels and their effects on health are exaggerated and misrepresented. Therefore, the statements are largely false and misleading.
