don't wear one... tell them you will pass out, or puke, or get a migraine. I 'did not comply' & they didn't force me to put it on.

this ridiculous charade.... at the eye doctor, where they are trying to get a close fit between my face and the vision apparatus in order to get an accurate prescription, the mask interferes in the close fit, and it causes the lenses on the apparatus to fog up. So, they tell me to lower my mask under my nose. That still doesn't work. So, lower it below my chin. I guess that means they aren't too worried about my germs. But they are wearing their masks. Everyone is wearing one. We are not allowed to enter the office without our face covering. They don't care if I wear a cloth mask, an N95 or a surgical mask -- just so long as my face is covered except when checking my vision with the apparatus. Then I'm not contagious, kinda like how at the restaurant you could not spread germs while sitting at the table, but be sure to put that mask on before you stand up to go to the restroom.

Jill I understand. Commifornia is really insane about the mask bs. I only go to the doctor if it’s absolutely necessary. Get a Fake Mask! And, surgical masks have plastic in them, which you’re breathing in. The whole charade is absolutely RIDICULOUS.

Renee Marie is right. They make mesh masks that look like "real" cloth masks.

And you can get others that look like real ones. The difference is that you can BREATH!

I’m totally against masks and would never wear one. I had to have cancer surgery and I had no choice. And I was pissed, but I was also scared…of the hospital. It was a really fucked up situation. God has my back.

Or more to the point, any doctor telling you to mask is a quack and shouldn’t be your doctor.
