All you wanted to know about the Chinese Corona - 19 Virus, but didn't know what to ask Following is COVID INCOSISTENCIES demonstrating the lack of the vision processing skill of logic and reasoning within those who mandate policies . Developmental optometry treats vision processing skills. From the below, we have a lot of work in front of us.
Please know we are not insensitive to COVID. All in the office in December of 2020 came down with COVID. Two had morbidity concerns and one was in the senior category. We all survived with no side effects but none of us enjoyed the process. Yes like any flu or infectious disease, this virus is serious. We all probably know or have heard of some who succumbed from the virus as well as other diseases. However, we want a scientific medial approach to treat it, not the whims of politicians.

First, for our school children
Face masks from a vision and eyes perspective interfere with the wearer and also the observer of one wearing a mask in three areas, and it gets worse for those banned from the classroom forced on a computer screen.

1. Inconvenience:
1. The bands over the ears render uncomfortable initial and continued alignment of glasses.

2. Necessary removal of the mask oft pulls glasses off and risks damage as they land on the ground or are miss-alignment. |
3. The masks Interfere with the alignment of the glasses, especially when a bifocal is needed.

4. The masks fog up the lenses to the point of total distortion, especially when nervous such as test taking.

2. Social Interaction:
1. The auditory response is slowed as sounds are muffled. I find this very disturbing in a vision exam and the process is slowed. I imagine the same is true in the classroom. |
|
|
|
2. The masks hinder gender identity. (All pictures are boys) |
80%
3. Vision Function:
Education is dependent on the vision system, especially the vision processing skills. The minimal estimate is that vision contributes at 80% which many consider way too low. All of the below interfere with education and should be of concern to school boards if not the administration.

|
1. Babies need to see faces for vision development. As a result of your school mask requirements, you would be surprised how many adults do the same at home. |
|
|
|
2. Masks deprive oxygen and the vision system needs tremendous amounts of oxygen to function. One third of the blood pumped by the heart goes to the vision system.
|
3. When writing or keyboarding the masks require the head to be tipped extremely adding to neck tension and vision fatigue.
4. Sensory matching is reduced with the above mentioned slow auditory response from the muffled responses.
|
5. The vision processing skill of visual closure is reduced. To get minimum clues, you have to be aware of the whole picture first. The mask blocks up to 80% of the face.
|
|
6. The speed of vision processing is dramatically reduced which should be of great concern in classroom time.

7. The vision processing skill of logic and reasoning is hindered, especially of those who reach the higher grades when you try to justify mandated mask use that is scientifically proven to be of no use and harmful. Our example of Chess requires visual closure, speed of processing, and logic & reasoning

What about kids banned from the classroom for refusing mask wear and forced into digital learning :
I do not think enough can be said of the horror, I repeat horror, I have seen in my patients caused by digital learning. I see grades dropping from 3's and 4's to 2's and 1's. I have never seen such a rapid increase in myopic and astigmatic prescriptions in such a short time. The few who did not have changes were those who diligently used their lens therapy glasses. |
|
It is easy to be a critic; and yes ,this section presents some bad news. But I also bring you a solution.
All of the protocol was unnecessary. Despite government protocol all of us in the office got COVID. To be certain that would not happen to our patients, we installed the AirRos Sanitization System in our office. There is no reason including financial that school districts cannot do the same. |
|
I was shocked at the most recent LUSD school board meeting. While the meeting was interrupted by a fiery presentation, I got a chance to talk with a remaining official. The school district purchased over 2,000 sanitation units of another brand! This is perplexing but not new. First, in 2020 the teacher's union worshiped masks. Then in a hypocritical move , but were even afraid to wear them before masked students. That forced themselves and students to hurt their eyes with digital learning. At the same time, they ignored facts that kids hardly get COVID; and if, so in a much milder form than adults. Thus, did they really believe masks would protect them? The simple solution would have been normal classes with masked teachers and unmasked kids. After Zoom learning turned into a disaster, LUSD took a positive step to sanitize the classroom. Yet, the union still insists kids and teachers are masked. I have difficulty with such logic and reasoning.
1. COVID follies What about those full face plastic shields, do they help?
Once I saw a lot of people wearing full face shields, I became concerned about distortion. Whether they protect anyone from anything is another matter. Thus, I bought a shield to runthrough my projector in the office to detect distortion.
The first thing I noted was the disclaimer on the head band that the shield does not protect you from the “COVID” virus.
|
Here is the target you would look at during a vision exam that my projector projects into a mirror across the room. That in turn, reflects above your head and behind you on the large grey screen. I often kid and refer to it as a pizza plate. Yes, the letters are backward because you are looking in an additional mirror when I examine you.
|
|
|
|
Distortion is definitely present. While the shield was not bent in a curve, I placed the flat surface before my projector. Yes, it did have unacceptable distortion but not a lot. Then I curved the full face shield as it is worn and even more is present. |
To add to my discovery, I took a picture in the office through the mask. Not only do I not support the full face mask, I feel it is detrimental to your vision.
|
2. COVID FOLLIES:
Mask interference Since masks have been worn by patients, I have noted a collateral effect. The exam process is disturbingly interfered. Yes, people’s responses are muffled and it takes more time, but that is not the main problem. By concealing the lower half of the face, I am unable to accurately read the patient’s expressions. Those expressions are of great value to me as an experienced developmental optometrist. Developmental optometry is more than the numbers. |

3. COVID FOLLIES:
Indoor quarantine
Just when does the virus stop at your front door? Whether we are outdoors in the sun or in the home, the virus is there. Actually, evidence indicates sunlight even kills the virus. However, if you want to eat at a restaurant it can't be inside because the virus can get in restaurant doors but some how doesn't exist just outside their doors . Thus, in CA you must dine with the flies - certainly sanitary there! A lot of logic and reasoning is missing by forcing healthy people in their homes and opening restaurants under a tent on the sidewalk..

4. COVID FOLLIES:
Open States have less infection CA's governor insists on masks, 6 foot separation, and home quarantine plus other restrictions. Meanwhile, our COVID cases are greater than Texas and Florida combined. Florida has no restrictions and Texas limited. Logic and reasoning eludes CA's governor. |
5. COVID FOLLIES:
CA's late start
If quarantine of healthy people, masks, hand washing, and social distancing actually works, why did CA start on March 20th, four months after COVID appeared in CA. People who were quarantined became infected while the homeless, not quarantined and unable to follow the other rules were virtually unaffected.

6. COVID FOLLIES:
Lucite screens
Lucite screens to stop the spread assume the virus can not float over or under the Lucite screen. COSTO with 50 foot ceilings has Lucite screens 6 foot tall that separate us from the cashier assuming the virus can't float over the screen. Even stranger, they are not "protected" from the line of people at the adjacent cash register. They are less than six feet from the customers behind them. Even big business lacks logic and reasoning.

7. COVID FOLLIES:
Keeping kids out of school
Children virtually don't get the virus; and if they do, it doesn't last long or cause physical harm. Meanwhile, teachers have a less than one percent mortality rate from the virus and believe in the efficacy of a mask. Thus, there is no reason to keep the children out of school nor should teachers fear getting the virus from the kids. That is a definite lack of logic and reasoning. Further, those insisting on kids out of school lack visual closure when they do not see the collateral damage to the kids emotional health and social well being. Some kids even commit suicide. All kids and teachers suffer worsening of their vision from digital learning.

8. COVID FOLLIES:
The hypocrisy of all hypocrisies! Pastor Jack Hibbs in his 6/9/21 sermon, The Knowable God - Part 3, pointed out a massive hypocrisy of us who futility cower behind the mask or enforce it by proclaiming it is for a fear of death. If we believe no one should face death from an invisible pathogen created in a lab in China that has a death rate hovering around 1%, why are we not proclaiming the aversion of death from cancer, heart attack, diabetes, AIDS, sexually transmitted disease, alcohol and drug addiction, sex trafficking, and yes, the most indefensible of all, abortion? No, it is not a compassion for life but that of control. |

9. COVID FOLLIES:
The Collateral damage from masks Yes, we are aware of the deprivation of oxygen, increase of Co2, Asthma difficulties, face rashes, and deaf people unable to lip read. Yet, who would have thought the masks interfere with binocular vision and learning? |
|
|
|
Binocular vision is important in learning. A definition of binocular vision is the ability to discern differences and similarities at the same time. If you have binocular vision you are constantly noting the differences. However, when half the face of other students and the teacher are covered differing views are limited. Thus, binocular vision is limited, and thereby learning. Even further, children need to see both other kids and the teacher to learn. They are unable to recognize facial expressions of either. when masked. Need I say anything about deaf students?

10. COVID FOLLIES:
More Collateral damage from masks
What does the Lone Ranger have to do with binocular vision? The lone Ranger wore a mask to conceal his identity. Today, our children through a questionable government edict are required to do the same. The government officials say it is to protect them from a killer disease. Yet, its mortality is less than 1 percent. Well, whether you believe the government of not, the masks hide kid’s and teachers’ identity, just like the Lone Ranger. Certainly, we all have realized that when not recognizing friends in the grocery store, etc. Yet, what has that got to do with binocular vision (two eyed-vision)? You may be surprised. It has a great deal and is rarely recognized.

Bruce Wolff, a developmental optometrist who improved the vision systems of the Cincinnati Reds to win a pennant, steps in here. He defines binocular vision as the ability to recognize differences and similarities at the same time. Pretend we are looking at a Christmas tree, ten feet away. Both eyes are looking at the tree at the same time. Yet, the left eye sees more of the left side of the tree. Meanwhile, the partner eye on the right sees more of the right side of the tree. They are now seeing both differences and similarities at the same time. Then when the information is sent to the brain, the tree is seen in depth and Junior knows he needs to scamper 10 feet to get his present under the tree.
|
When a face mask, even more concealing than the Lone Ranger’s, is worn facial expression is greatly concealed. You can’t tell if one is laughing, smiling, frowning, sneering, jesting, or even crying. Even the sound is muffled as you reduce sensory matching. There are fewer clues to determine differences and similarities. That results in diminished binocular vision.

Hi ho Silver, the Lone Ranger shouts to his unmasked horse. That’s the answer! Remove the mask, just like all the states and countries with less damage from this virus.
11. Do the mask manufacturers think the masks work?
Look at this label!
12. Our Governor tell us to follow the science concerning COVID solutions. Well, here is the science:
SAE./No.200/January 2022
Ambika Kandasamy A LITERATURE REVIEW AND META-ANALYSIS OF THE EFFECTS OF LOCKDOWNS ONCOVID-19 MORTALITY RTALITY
The researchers say lockdowns had no noticeable effect on reducing COVID-related deaths and a "devastating effect" on economies and social ills. Researchers at Johns Hopkins University have concluded that lockdowns have done little to reduce COVID deaths but have had “devastating effects” on economies and numerous social ills.
The study, titled “A Literature Review and Meta-Analysis of the Effects of Lockdowns on COVID-19 Mortality,” said lockdowns in Europe and the U.S. reduced COVID-19 deaths by 0.2 percent.
Shelter-in-place orders were also ineffective, reducing COVID-19 mortality by 2.9%, the study said.
“We find no evidence that lockdowns, school closures, border closures, and limiting gatherings have had a noticeable effect on COVID-19 mortality,” the researchers wrote in the report, issued Monday.
The study concluded that lockdowns “are ill-founded and should be rejected as a pandemic policy instrument.”
“They have contributed to reducing economic activity, raising unemployment, reducing schooling, causing political unrest, contributing to domestic violence, and undermining liberal democracy,” the report said.
The study was written by Jonas Herby, Lars Jonung and Steve H. Hanke of the Johns Hopkins Institute for Applied Economics, Global Health and the Study of Business Enterprise.

13. Did we learn from the Spanish flu at the turn of the century? Look below at the Tuesday, August 19, 2008 release by The National Institution of Health (NIH). THAT IS THE ONE OF WHICH DR FAUCI IS THE HEAD. Yes Dr. Fauci knew this before this virus hit us!
Bacterial Pneumonia Caused Most Deaths in 1918 Influenza Pandemic Implications for Future Pandemic Planning
The majority of deaths during the influenza pandemic of 1918-1919 were not caused by the influenza virus acting alone, report researchers from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), part of the National Institutes of Health. Instead, most victims succumbed to bacterial pneumonia following influenza virus infection. The pneumonia was caused when bacteria that normally inhabit the nose and throat invaded the lungs along a pathway created when the virus destroyed the cells that line the bronchial tubes and lungs.
