Doctors in the Days of Covid
I am republishing some of my essays from the days of the alleged pandemic. Our notoriously short memories are already fading, and society cannot afford to forget how insane we went. We lost our constitutional rights, thousands or more lost their livelihoods, and people lost their lives due to bad medical protocols and to dangerous “vaccines.”
Note carefully—This story was originally published in March of 2023. This was three years after the beginning of the alleged pandemic. Note how insane behavior still was. If you did not experience this where you live, I’m glad, but millions of Americans in blue/Democrat states and areas did.
Today, in 2025, about 20 percent of the cashiers at my local grocery store in town are still wearing N95 masks. Yes, today. In 2025. For what it’s worth, most of these perma-maskers are morbidly obese, the kind of obesity that makes mere walking difficult. They are young, appearing to be less than 30 years old. I’ve watched them for years, and they’ve done nothing to deal with their weight and are clearly clinging to the false belief that their masks are protecting them from something.
Here in blue Vermont, the culture has changed permanently. There is no embarrassment, no pushback, no social stigma about continuing to wear a mask. Yes, it’s only a small percentage who still do it, but we’ve removed any and all social pressure to stop living in a paranoid fantasy. It’s permanent now. New normal.
March, 2023—This is a question for those who live in Democrat/Blue areas. I realize that those of you who do not will find this inapplicable.
Do you think everyone else around you approves of masking?
Do you think that you’re one of the few who knows it’s nonsense?
Do you think that the front office staff at your dentist or doctor are all in agreement that Masks Are Good And Effective And Are Now Normal?
It isn’t true. To my surprise.
Suspicious cynicism is my baseline state (and it’s going to remain that way). I often assume that everyone else around me who is acting crazy must actually be crazy.
Not so. It’s more pedestrian. Most people are cowardly, not actually crazy. Most people know the truth, but they’ve convinced themselves that they are too weak to take a stand.
Their real views sometimes come out when a loudmouth gives them an opening.
This morning, I canceled an in-person doctor’s appointment because the clinic is still requiring masking.
I told the staff why I was canceling. You might be surprised at the conversation that happened over the phone.
Me: Good morning. I have an appointment with Dr. _ at 11:30. I’m calling to see if you have any mask requirements in your office.
Receptionist: Yes. We have to ask every patient to wear a mask when they visit.
Me: Thank you. Can you please convert this upcoming appointment to a video visit?
Receptionist: Sure. [Gives me confirmation of meeting, which I’m waiting for prior to disclosing my reasons.]
Me: I will not participate in mask theater any longer. I realize that you, T, don’t set that policy, so please know that I’m not aiming any criticism at you. But this is appalling and I’m not going to cooperate with it.
Receptionist: I absolutely agree! You got it.
Me: Frankly, the fact that doctors and dentists of all people are the ones doing this is outrageous, and patients like me are starting to question the medical judgment of practices because of this behavior.
Receptionist: I totally agree. They need to stop this.
Me: Thank you for helping me with the appointment, and I hope you have a great day.
There’s a lesson in this. Do you know what that lesson is?

As other commenters have pointed out masks can be worn for other reasons (air pollution, allergens, dust etc). Although I'm not sure that your typical 'blue face mask' would provide any kind of effective barrier to these things. Only masks with an airtight seal and special filters attached would.
It's great to challenge receptionists, doctors and dentists on masks in such a diplomatic way. Acknowledging they are not the ones making the rules, gives them an 'out' and makes it a lot less confrontational.
FWIW there is zero science behind the theory of contagion of disease by proximity, or sharing of bodily fluids. Over 200 real world studies conducted over the past century have tried literally everything to make healthy people sick by exposing them directly to the breath, saliva, lung fluid and snot of sick people. These experiments have consistently FAILED to make anybody sick.
Even during the Spanish Flu they smeared healthy volunteers with the snot of sick patients, and had them cough directly into their faces repeatedly (and a bunch of other disgusting things). None of them got sick either.
Contagion of colds and flus is a thoroughly DISPROVEN theory at this stage. But without the general public's belief in (and fear of) contagion there would be no vaccine industry, no social control, no wealth transfers, no PPE industry, and no excuse for kidnapping and quarantining people in purpose built camps, lockdowns, digital surveillance/ vaccine passports or tyrannical control of society.
All of these things depend on the public maintaining their belief in 'viral contagion' - a completely disproven theory.
The model for contagion which was used to dictate government policy in early 2020 (ie lockdowns) made no reference to any of these real world studies (studies which show 'viral contagion' is a myth). Instead it was based on a 2017 experiment by the BBC, Cambridge University and LSHTM to simulate a 'pandemic' with 30,000 smartphone apps and a 'digital pathogen'. The experiment involved no biology whatsoever. That's how they got the data they needed to create the hysteria necessary for a lockdown 3 years later in 2020. They even made the whole thing into a BBC TV show (see linked video at bottom of comment).
There is not a single aspect of the pandemic industry which is not a total fraud.
In addition to all the failed contagion studies, people have also subjected completely sterile cell cultures to the exact same experiments used by virologists to prove the existence of 'viruses'. They have found the exact same particles in these sterile cell cultures, which conform perfectly to the size, shape and appearance of common 'viruses' such as measles, HIV and SARS COV2. This proves that the cell culture experiments themselves produce these particles, which are basically just cellular debris and not the cause of anything (certainly not disease).
The Virology Control Studies Project (find them on substack) is the latest group to perform these control experiments which use the same labs that Big Pharma uses, so nobody can accuse them of fudging the data. Virology is no more scientific than Unicornology. It's just a bunch of pseudoscience to prop up the vaccine industry.
If a doctor or receptionist demands you wear a mask, you can always ask them to provide you with scientific proof of a) the existence of 'viruses' (as they are officially defined) in nature b) contagion of disease by proximity or the sharing of bodily fluids
You can demand the proof conforms to the basic principles of science (falsifiability, proper controls etc) and does not rely on logical fallacies (reification fallacy, circular reasoning, affirming the consequent etc).
Just as mask enforcers rarely get challenged, doctors rarely get asked to provide proof of the existence of alleged 'viruses' or 'viral contagion'. In fact, I doubt your average doctor has EVER been asked to provide such proof!
Maybe now would be a good time to ask for it, before the next 'pandemic' is declared.
