After the Nevada governor finally dropped the ridiculous mask mandates, I received a letter from a veterinary hospital. It mandated that I wait in a parking lot, only a single person could accompany my dog to an incredibly important exam, and of course wear a mask!
During this entire pandemic, I have not worn a mask unless specifically told to within a private business. The few times anybody had the guts to tell me, I replied they should take their mask off. What are you hiding? It makes me uncomfortable. Are you this afraid of everything?
Here is my reply to the veterinary hospital:
I would like to bring my daughter who is a medical student. Also, the mask mandate was dropped so why are you continuing it? I have already lost a dog to these woke policies of not seeing the doctor, sitting in the parking lot, wear your mask, only one person per pet, etc. Let's not forget that masks have not prevented a single case of COVID in the world. I barely understood when the CDC put mask mandates back in place that everybody followed, like our government is the gold standard and ample data did not exist exposing this failed policy. Now, this is being done just so you feel better because there is no mandate. This is not about you, it is about your patients. As a 40 year medical researcher and a CEO of a company that has conducted over 30 COVID studies, I am pretty fed up with this. I am a personal friend of the CMO of Nevada. He assures me there are no restrictions on veterinary hospitals.
You think you are part of the solution, but you are part of the problem.
If you want to educate yourself on masks, I suggest you do a little research. You are, after all, healthcare providers. Here is one article, but I suggest you read all the articles by Ian Miller. You will come away 100% sure that masks did not prevent a single case of COVID, based on real data not some cherry picked study.
In case you do not want to read and educate yourselves, here is an excerpt, notice the statewide mandate as opposed to the 12 county mandate. Only when the mandate ended for the non-12 counties did their numbers drop. While the 12 counties were mandated to wear masks, their case rates were consistently higher. Why? Because erroneously our governor told people that masks would protect them. So they took risks. The immunocompromised took risks and died. They would not have taken those risks with the flu, but we never told anybody that a mask will protect you from the flu, which of course it won't.
COVID is 1 nanometer in size, a good mask is 400 microns. COVID clouds come with billions of molecules, any one of them will infect you (just like the flu, except smaller in size). A hole that is 40,000 times bigger than a molecule, will not filter the molecule. Certainly you learned some of this in medical school.
Nevada
In late July, just a few days after the CDC’s dramatic reversal, Governor Steve Sisolak of Nevada mandated that 12 counties, comprising most of the population of the state, return to mask wearing.
Let’s see how it went!
Cases continued to rise and remained at much higher population adjusted levels than the small counties without mandates.
It’s a consistently astonishing phenomenon that politicians have convinced themselves that something that’s already failed to prevent the most substantial wave of infections will somehow work this time.
It does not work. Anywhere. Ever.
Sorry, I cannot sit back and watch woke companies ruin our society, especially our kids. Time for you to get back to normal. If this doesn't convince you, then you may want to look at what your true motivations are here.
Here is the original letter:
Hello Paul,
We look forward to seeing you and Floyd on March 17th, checking in at 9:45am, with Dr. Gunther-Harrington. The consultation fee is $174 and as we discussed over the phone, a verbal estimate of $900 - $1700. Please come prepared with questions and medications Floyd is taking. We are allowing one person in the building per pet, and we kindly ask that you have a mask on.
If you need to reschedule or cancel, we ask that you give us at least 72 hours’ notice so we can fill that slot with pets on our cancellation list. Unfortunately, if you need to cancel after that or do not show up for your appointment, you may be required to give a $50 deposit for any future appointments.

Speak up at every opportunity, the tide is turning. I will post the reply here, but this is probably the 10th letter I have sent to some woke company to pull their collective heads out of their collective asses!
Here is my 13 week old Scottish Terrier … watching Tucker, perhaps he should be examining the woke doctors?
What Can You Do To End The Madness?
Well said. Our challenge is that facts and logic do not sway an emotional or religously motivated opponent. It is so maddening as a rationale person, attorney and accountant, to see those caught up in the corporate media rapture (Brought to you by Pfizer) disregard any fact based explanation of the ignorance of their position.
Keep up the good fight!
Good luck for you and your pet. Pity logic and reason is missing in so many.
