In reply to the discussion: Dear Mask-less jackwit at Costco: Wondering who reported you to the manager [View all]Trueblue Texan
(3,155 posts)50. To this...I am hearing more and more of medical "professionals" who...
... are not wearing masks and are telling patients that masks don't protect from Covid-19. Both nurses AND doctors. I want to ask these morons how they feel about hand washing. Or if they also trash the mask when dealing with tuberculosis patients. This attitude toward PPE from medical personnel is absolutely unconscionable. Numerous studies have shown that areas that have mask mandates decrease the rate of infection by more than 5% while at the same time, areas without mask mandates increase the rate of infection by 100% or more. Masks work to decrease the spread of Covid. Period. It is completely irresponsible for medical personnel to behave otherwise.

Exactly. They are actively threatening us, and they know and enjoy that. Emulation. F'em.
