No Masks = No Treatment

July 9, 2020

SUSAN-ANNE WHITE writes from Northern Ireland:

Today one of our worst fears was realised, i.e that our refusal to wear face masks would result in deeply worrying consequences.

My husband and I both had a dental appointment today, and, upon arrival we were asked to wear a mask.

I was at the dental surgery last week and informed the receptionist that I would not wear a mask and I was not denied a dental examination on that occasion.

Fast forward to today, and our refusal to wear masks became a serious matter.

So serious in fact that both my husband and I were denied treatment for, in my case, a serious and acute dental problem, and, in my husband’s case, necessary dental treatment.

We remonstrated with the dentist all to no avail.

It doesn’t seem to matter to health professionals today that people are being harmed by the tyrannical Covid-19 regulations.

The mantra seems to be “submit or suffer the consequences.”

Here I am again, weighing in on the masks.  I read the post “No Mask- No Treatment”, and the injustice of it incensed me.  Yesterday, I had an exchange (over email) with my health care provider about the mask requirement,as I was scheduled for a visit tomorrow.  I tried to be humble and diplomatic, but was persistent.  I simply asked what accommodations, under the ADA, would be available for those who didn’t want to or couldn’t wear masks.  Of course, they can look in my chart and see I don’t have a diagnosis from their office for a breathing issue. (Never mind that this seems like it would be a violation of HIPAA).  But what if a person is claustrophobic or (gasp!) doesn’t want to wear a mask, period?  The response was that “some” disabilities would be accommodated, such as COPD or cerebral palsy.  I said I was surprised that they were choosing when to obey the law and when not to.  I sincerely had hoped for a more thoughtful response from a medical office, silly me!  I also told them I expected that of all places, they would have supported an educated skepticism on the efficacy of masks to prevent viral spread.  I also shared with my practitioner a link to a conglomeration of studies going back decades, that as I pointed out, were clearly not influenced by the current political climate, and all of which said that masks don’t protect against the spread of disease.  The studies involved health care workers, and go back as far as the early 2000’s, maybe even farther.  Health care workers were advised NOT to use masks to protect against the spread of disease.  Masks can actually trap disease and create an environment where the wearer gets sick from the use of the mask. Here is the link.

I don’t believe that my provider even looked at the link, but instead lectured me on how their office is trying to create a “safe” environment, with “double protection” for patients and staff.  I again pointed out that the infinitestimally small viral particles travel easily through surgical and homemade masks.  These masks are used only occasionally in medical settings by surgeons and dentists, and only to prevent the transfer of bodily fluids.  A medical practitioner such as she should have been telling ME that!  Instead, she actually told me that it has always been their office’s practice to wear masks when they suspect they have a communicable disease.  I told her that in my 50+ years of going to a doctor for myself and many others, I have NEVER seen any doctor or staff wearing a mask in the office.  Since she dismissed my concerns, and never did respond to my legitimate question about viral particles traveling through the masks, as well as the decidedly small (and getting smaller) death rate of this cold virus, I decided to take her advice and find another practice.

My polite and educated queries of a medical office with which I have had a 30-year relationship ended with dismissal, obfuscation, and downright lies.  The practitioner that I once respected resorted to these pathetic tactics and I am eager to find someone that I will again respect, not only for their medical procedures, but for their integrity.  That hasn’t happened yet, but I’m sure the LORD will direct.

In the meantime, hats off to your readers for standing up to the Covid machine, and the satanic forces behind it!

I commend you and Mrs. White for your efforts. (And I’m horrified that anyone would be denied medical treatment, especially someone with a serious condition such as Mrs. White’s.) But please be careful not to exhaust yourself arguing with members of this fanatical, mask-wearing cult with its elaborate sanitizing rituals.

The Covid Cult involves blind adherence to dogmas received from its sacred leaders and enforced by its militant members. There is no arguing with these germaphobes because their beliefs are not rational.

Civil disobedience — yes. Persuasion — unlikely.

Loyal replies:

That is so true!  I will continue to practice civil disobedience.  My questions are often an attempt to discern who is willing to listen, as much as to educate.  But you are right, it is not worth wasting too much time on trying to persuade these irrational fanatics.

I would much rather just continue to live my life as a free person, and let the chips fall where they may.
