I love how something like this can reach the front page but if you take it just a little shuffle further and say that maybe, just maybe, it's, ike, possible that some medical professionals are not infallible resources of knowledge and action, you'll never hear the end about how much of a killer you are

The trouble is that it's a slippery slope between "some are not infallible" and "all doctors can't be trusted"...
Well, it's not. It's a dry, gentle gradient normal people can easily stand on, but then someone rolls out the slip n' slide and we've been living with that for 4 years!
I mean random nurses aren't setting COVID policy. I have a family member who is a nurse and she still doesn't even believe COVID is real... in 2024.
My mother was a registered nurse and has her head on fairly straight, but she worked with plenty of nutso people.
Being a part of the medical field does not automatically make you an expert in all things health related. In fact, it seems to give some of them a false sense of superiority.
My niece is a nurse and refused to get vaccinated so ... yeah
The dentist of a friend bought a fake coronavirus pass thing so she could fly rather than get vaccinated
Not to mention that the hospital might just not provide them to their workers for such a trivial thing as a pandemic.
Which IMO is the most likely situation given how some hospitals had nurses wear the same one-use mask for days during the pandemic
I got covid in December and had to go to the store to get some dayquil. They won't deliver that stuff. I was wearing a mask, actively trying to avoid people, was super careful to disinfect my hands before going in and touch as little as possible. I went to the self checkout and the lady up front tried to spark up a conversation with me.
"Feeling under the weather huh?"
I just nodded and made it clear I wasn't talking. I just couldn't understand the logic of trying to interact with an obviously sick person when they're going out of their way to not interact. People's brains are broken.
Depending on the store you get yelled at if you don't interact even with the customers who obviously don't wanna talk to anyone 🙃
Noone wants to work 24h shifts in an ffp2 if you don't really have to and also every colleague had like every possible infection during autumn already.
Who works 24 hours in ffp2? More like 12h in a surgical mask unless dealing with a confirmed Covid patient. It's not that hard.

I hope she's wearing an N95? Otherwise the plastic disposable ones do really only work for preventing getting spittle on others, but does fuck all for your own health.
Don't worry, none of that happened.
Unbelievable. As in, I don't believe this happened.
Believe what you want, but every doctor visit I've had in a rural area in the last year (severe car accident, so lots of visits) NO ONE has a mask on except for me.
Sure, but the play-by-play interactions are cringe af and absolutely did not go that way.
If the post simply said "I went to the hospital today and was the only person wearing a mask." I'd be 10x more inclined to believe it versus this fanfiction-sounding recount of events.
