A D.C. raw food business says it won’t open its doors until the city has lifted its mask order.
In a post that has since been flagged by Facebook for misinformation, Khepra’s Raw Food Juice Bar claimed that masks do not protect against anything, and that they can promote poor health and social discord.
The owner – Khepra Anu – confirmed for Washington City Paper that he’d posted the message condemning masks.
The post claims that “The body uses your exhaust channel to remove CO2 to regulate alkalinity in the body. Therefore mask wearing will produce an over acidic environment that would become more susceptible to illness and disease.”
