No to the systematic wearing of a mask in schools: Alert letter to parents’ associations, officials of schools, colleges and high schools in Senegal

Caused by the Sars-CoV-2 coronavirus, the Covid-19 disease appears on November 17, 2019 in the city of Wuhan in China, then spreads around the world. On January 30, 2020, the World Health Organization (WHO) declares a state of international public health emergency. On March 11, 2020, the Covid-19 epidemic was declared a pandemic. In Africa, the response has given rise to the taking of emergency health measures that have significantly mitigated the harmful consequences of Covid-19.

In the field, the disease faced a community already used to living in contact with other coronaviruses that cause various influenza. Such an epidemiological reality predisposes the population to benefit from collective, innate and adaptive immunity, thanks to the antibodies that it has been able to develop over time. This explains, moreover, why Africa has been less affected by the Covid-19 disease. No hecatomb has been recorded so far while active life

strong of its community psyche, goes even better with its healthy carriers of coronavirus!

In living spaces, children are the best equipped in terms of protection against coronaviruses. In addition, they are not contaminants. Consequently, the compulsory wearing of a mask should not be imposed on them, all the more so, physical distancing which is a brake on the blossoming of their warm and emotional innocence towards their human surroundings.

This is why, within a school, wearing a mask and physical distancing become obstacles to the development of the pupil who is prevented from constructing himself normally, from communicating happily, from deciphering the faces and smiles of others wrongly stigmatized as potential vectors of disease.

It is paradoxical to impose the wearing of the mask in the schoolyard and in the classroom, and to remove it for example during meals in the canteen. The tasting breaks are they not moments of close proximity, of close palaver, of touches between the hand, the mouth and the nose. Moreover, it would be useless to do tests whose dubious reliability is the subject of an indescribable outcry, when you have in front of you a cohort of asymptomatic children who need everything except psychosis in which a white coat under armed escort could install them.

If the mask is considered a barrier gesture, on the other hand, it does not represent therapy. According to pediatricians, dermatologists, pulmonologists and other dentists; children face health risks that relate to illnesses caused by prolonged and long-term daily wearing of the mask. Among the pathologies linked to wearing a mask and the severity of the impacts of which is terrifying, we can mention:

– staphylococcal disease on the lips, cheeks,

– pneumococcal disease, meningococcal disease,

– impetigo (contagious skin disease),

– furonculose;

– herpes attack on the lips,

– conjunctivitis (due to the breath sent back into the eyes),

– bronchitis,

– breathing problems (asthma attack),

– headache (headache),

– gum disease,

– dental caries, etc.

Apart from the health consequences of the continuous wearing of the mask, there are also the cognitive losses suffered by the students. With the mask, the air inhaled and exhaled is warmed, humidified and charged with

CO2 (carbon). This CO2 re-inspired and ejected again into the body, deprives the brain of pure air, which is the organ that consumes the most energy and which needs maximum oxygenation for its normal functioning. Thus, the groups of pupils wearing masks find it difficult to concentrate to follow the lessons in class. In difficulty, their brain suffers shocks from the loss of neurons instead of acquiring it through the knowledge conveyed by a teacher whose masked face constitutes another didactic obstacle which erases facial language in the teacher / learner relationship.

In Europe, imposed for reasons that are not sanitary, the obligation to wear a mask has been discouraged by scientists whose opinions have enabled parents to measure all the dangers associated with it. A relevant example is provided by Sweden where the wearing of a mask is not imposed and students are not affected by it, contrary to the alarmist prejudices on a second wave spread of the Sars-CoV-2 coronavirus for this purpose.

In Africa, the Covid-19 epidemic has even been non-existent in certain areas of the continent and nowadays, it is almost over if it had taken place. Otherwise, a real disaster would have occurred in the light of community life which always takes place without confinement, without general wearing of masks, without physical distancing! Such social behaviors should have been harmful if the mode of spread of the Sars-CoV-2 coronavirus had been documented in Africa.

The epidemiological situation of our continent does not justify, on any scientific and health basis, the compulsory wearing of the mask which is even more and more disputed and massively refused in Western countries which however seem to have registered many Covid-19 patients in recent years. past months.

Ultimately, given that wearing a mask weakens the immune system, all the more so that of children who thus ingest 50 to 60% of carbon dioxide in their organism deprived of a good oxygenation source of vital energy; it is the duty of the parents of pupils where there are teachers and members of the medical profession; officials of schools, colleges and high schools in the country; to make prevail with the authorities of National Education, the scientific argument which pleads for classrooms freed from the “systematic” wearing of the mask.

It is for the future of our children to guarantee them what is best for their health by rejecting any artifice that weakens their immune system, puts them in physical and mental danger and predisposes them to harm. diseases contracted by the permanent wearing of an accessory resulting from an inconsistent health approach towards infant and juvenile layers in training.

White dots are staphylococci in broth on a mask worn after just a few hours!

For the defense of the interests of the students!

For a free and unrestricted study environment!

For a school environment conducive to future generations!
