Mask aversion

[Doctor Phibes]

People who don't have medical degrees and call themselves 'Doctor' really piss me off.

I've been thinking about getting a PhD in cryptozoology or some other such nonsense just so I can have the expected awkward introductions for the rest of my life.

"Mr. Letifer?"
"Yes, I'm Dr. Letifer?"
"Oh I'm sorry, forgive me, Dr. Letifer! Are you a medical doctor?"
"My field is cryprozoology."
"..........Yes, okay."

Okay, I had to look that up. I found this:

Dr. Biden is nonplussed.

You and my kiddo will be my team of doctors.

"My doctors say I need the chocolate for my health. Yes, all the chocolate I want."

"My doctors say I need a double gin and tonic, sometimes two, for my health. "

"My doctors say to stop all the running and exercise, and switch to more relaxing activities for my health and well-being."

I can hardly wait for my new doctors.

We saw a small clip of this one in the CNN piece but it’s worth hearing all she has to say.

Can you escape God?

Why are they saying masks are dangerous?

[jon-nyc]

All those medical professionals dropping dead over the years

Unlike in Palm Beach county she’d have the option to not wear a mask in CHOP

Because they're imbeciles?

That’s more than a micro aggression. She clearly has diminished capacity to reason and if we defunded the police and provided more community based mental health we wouldn’t have this problem.

Alternatively, we could bomb Florida.

Or they could run some kind of test and inject people who believe in nanobots with nanobots.

The issue of masks vs. the constitution is a good question. It's not the last time this will come up, in one form or another.

I wear a mask, obviously it makes sense to do so outside of home.
But I still maintain it's an interesting question. Perhaps there is a better way than Fauci saying, "so let it be written, so let it be done."

Yeah, and seems like most people that wear a mask, do so only because it is a mask. Might not fit worth beans, might be equal to being worthless as worn, but it's a badge of honorability, and that's really more important than maximizing utility for the public interest.

She has a point.

[Doctor Phibes]

The Constitution doesn't mention not allowing your children to play on the freeway, either.
