    1. He should try doing that SAME test while sweating buckets, working in a hot Amazon warehouse, literally inhaling the soggy mask into his mouth, as he’s trying to do his job.

  1. Please remember, not all masks are made of the same material as this doctors. Many use fabric masks.

    1. EXACTLY!!!
      He should try doing that SAME test while sweating buckets, working in a
      hot Amazon warehouse, literally inhaling the soggy mask into his mouth,
      as he’s trying to do his job.

    2. Now hold this “Doctor” accountable if any one starts having reverse side effects from mask wearing. Hold them accountable theres a reason by law vaccine manufacturers cant be sued!

  2. I wear a mask but it does make breathing feel hotter and not as comfortable which shouldnt be a surprise.

    1. THANK YOU!!!

  3. So, this dude is like 30, and motionless… would like to see an 80 yrold with COPD walking from 1 errand to another… in the summer heat.

    1. THANK YOU!!!

  4. Great.
    Now do that SAME test while sweating buckets, working in a hot Amazon warehouse, literally inhaling the soggy mask into your mouth, as you’re trying to do your job.

    1. That’s not the point. I sympathize with that predicament but anti-maskers don’t typically have working conditions as a caveat for their reduced oxygen delusion.

  5. I had to wear a facemask while stacking boxes onto pallets…when the mask gets wet, and you are breathing heavy it’s like you are being waterboarded. Maybe if you sitting down doing nothing the masks dont harm you but go for a brisk walk and anyone can feel the difference in breathing.

  6. Test your heart rate and take note of how hard you’re breathing with and without masks after light exercise.

    1. I test my heart rate riding a bicycle up a long hill…. If I wore a mask that whole time, there would be oxygen issues and probably cause a heart attack

    2. @john15008 I was forced to wear one while sweating buckets working at Amazon for 10 hours a night. I eventually got fired for pulling it down too much. I’ve got a bunch of videos on my channel about it..

    3. @Network126 It sounds like your working conditions were horrible. If you couldn’t physically distance and the heat was unbearable, Amazon has its work cut out for it to make conditions more reasonable. Masks are here for the foreseeable so hopefully there is a health and safety outfit where you worked. Alternatively, this should be brought up with labor authorities.

  7. The mask fibers come apart, after 1/2 day of mans shaved face. They get soggy from high humidity and light rain.

  8. Is that his hand with the oxygen monitor on? It kind of looks different. Btw, the number 6 keeps showing up. Looks like it’s the media’s favourite number…

  9. That Dr is just flexing how many masks he can waste while there is a shortage of N95 masks

  10. New title: Doctor proves sitting in an a/c room while putting on multiple fresh masks, that no oxygen is deprived for a short while.

  11. To everyone saying that he should try this while sweating, you need to really think about what you’re saying. You all really think these doctors don’t sweat profusely while being on their feet for 12+ hours a day and doing intense surgeries with full gear on for several hours a day? Come on. And yes, doctors have health issues too. Oh, and yes, there are older doctors who do this work too and wear masks all day. Y’all just being entitled and selfish as hell. Also, there are athletes who are wearing masks while doing intense workouts. Look it up.

  12. A guy in Kazakhstan tried something similar . He worked his way up to 47 masks but , sadly , he died . I guess there’s a happy medium , somewhere .
