I had an appointment for a bone scan today and they handed me a mask. I said, “I’m not playing this game anymore” and walked out. I’m so sick of this “just following orders” BS. Time to take a stand and get back to normal.

I’m so glad you finally “discovered” natural immunity. Could you have opened your mouths before ppl lost their livelihoods? Or when regular MD’s were being castigated as being conspiracy theorists for discussing something that was completely noncontroversial prior to 2020? /2
