What's even the "on paper" justification for rules like this? If the wife and husband both sign a waiver what's the problem? Is a patient less likely to spread than their family?

It’s all fucking madness! People need to respectfully but loudly keep speaking out, all the fucking time. That will force those in power to either back down or go full on tyranny real fast, fast enough so the lobsters realize the water is boiling.

Do not ever take a vaccine. Research it. Not even the k1 shot. Its bad. Completely unneeded. Only dirt poor malnurished kids benefits from something the body is not designed for. Bodies dont bleed at birth, naturr got it before we wanted to inject alunimum and k1 into a tiny body which doesnt havr a full.liver function....

Medical authoritarianism. It's more common than you think. Medicine has a dark and bloody history and a common theme is forcing rules onto people and eventually it turns out the medical "experts" were wrong.

It's like they eroded the notion of consent decree when that was foundational to medicine

Dr Ignaz Semmelweis discovered washing your hands before helping deliver a baby reduced sepsis in mothers. He was ridiculed by the "experts" for such a stance. Turns out he was right. His story is also a good argument against the "but muh science is settled!" buffoons.

Finished in an asylum. Pretty much tje establishments conspired against him because the truth was that doctors were responsible for lots of women dying.

Involuntary experiments on mental patients (like involuntary labotomy).

Mental patients being treated like zoo animals for curious spectators to oggle at.

In secret, MK Ultra.

Nazi experiments.

Experiments on prisoners.

Experiments on soldiers.

I imagine there are more I've never heard of or am not remembering.

Start with looking at anything about eugenics. Then look at how psychological disorders were treated from the 1940s to the 2000s. Off the top of my head, these are two major and widespread examples.

There is no reasonable justification for any of this.

Demoralisation. That’s why.

I know that's the real reason, I was asking for the reason that they share publicly

I’m sure it has something to do with exposing other patients and staff in patient treatment areas, there are more there than in waiting rooms. Silly. Do masks work or don’t they
