I was at the doctor and he asked if I got my flu vaccine.
Doc: You get your flu vaccine this year?
Me: Nope.
Doc: Why not?
Me: I thought these stupid masks were supposed to make us invincible.
Doc: Funny thing about the virus it can go like this (he than uses his finger like a flu virus and has it float in the air, around my mask). The virus can go around your mask like this.
Me: ha! So can Covid so why are we even wearing this crap than?
Doc: (lol) holds fist to the sky and says 'You got me on that one'!
It was fucking awesome!
I am not a medical professional and this is common knowledge to me. I have seen what happens to the "rogue" doctors who go outside of the socially-accepted farces to promote alternative ideas...such as the limited ability for masks to help against the spread of viruses outside of a clean room. Even then if a virus or something is involved, I imagine the PPE would be positive pressure garments and filtration systems.... not a thin mask which is best to catch spittle and such.
Anyways, I hope you can get back into it. Stay safe out there and thank you for what you have done, do now and will do in the future for us.
The orthodoxy of Medicine is almost impossible to change and those who dare question the Status quo are sent to the asylum, just ask Ignaz Semmelweis.
On masks, Danish Mask Study found no effect. Even if PPE prevents the spread of a viral infection, which I dont know, it's not something that should be forced on people.
Dr. Hope-Simpson, after studying the seasonality of virus infections for 50 years, was able to correlate latitude with influenzal viral spread in populations, with Corona, sharing almost the exact patters. The Curves we now see on Corona matches his findings to a tea. Masks and lockdowns have had almost no impact on this at all. But, he is not an "accepted" expert like the highly qualified Dr. Fauxi
The problem in medicine is not just the idiotic mask mandates, but more core dogmas of Medicine which are just plainly wrong. Not to mention the Replication crisis... The biggest problem in modern medicine is the inability to deal with Heart disease and Diabetes, of which the "Diet-heart hypothesis" is the core fallacy, which prevents any meaningful change. If you are interested in finding out more on this topic I recommend an Engineer "Ivor Cummins". Btw, he has also been covering the Viral Hysteria since may, having many prominent scientists and even Nobel Laureates on his podcast.
Thanks for you good wished, and I do hope that I can apply my knowledge to the benefit of those who come to seek my help.
