I went for my yearly mammo a couple of weeks ago. Everyone was diapered, staff and patients. Signs were everywhere saying “masks are required.” The level of Covid cases are “moderate”. I stubbornly sat awaiting my appointment without a mask on glancing up every now then to see glares coming from several people. I didn’t budge. I was called for my appointment, the nurse never said a word to me and when the exam was over I thanked her for not insisting I wear a mask. Oh, no problem was her reply. We then had a delightful conversation about what is going on in the world right now. She was very open to my information and I left with my heart a lot lighter.
Oh THANK YOU for posting this--I had yearly mammos up until 2022 (in 2021 I dutifully worn the face rag and after having the mammo PLUS a bone scan test (for osteoporosis) I became so dizzy and nauseous (from being deprived of oxygen through the masking) that I rushed out the door of the clinic and threw that face rag UP IN THE AIR. I vowed NEVER to wear a mask again and thus far I have kept that vow! I am past-due for my mamo and would not go in 2022 because they ALL required "masking". I am going to make an appointment for THIS YEAR and "follow your lead", Bites!!
Be sure to gently inform them that viruses are generally about 1 micron in size and the little blue and white, pleated things they give you have, roughly, an 80 micron opening. Even the N/K95 masks only to up to about 50 microns. They’ll ask, “Then why do surgeons use them?” “Because they don’t want their saliva and/or nose drippings falling on the patients.” Most people do pause for a moment to take it all in.
A simple question I ask, that everyone will understand: "Can you smell a fart while wearing that mask? If you do, how does it stop a virus?"
A more involved method: That room has aerosolized asbestos floating in the air. You probably can't even see it. You're wearing that miracle mask, go into that room now. Hang out for 15 minutes. Oh, before you do...you might want to know that aerosolized asbestos particles are much larger than any virus. But that won't matter, right? You're wearing a mask. You're protected and safe, right?...
Y'all PLEASE STOP GETTING MAMMOGRAMS! Research it! The amount of radiation that's shot into your boots is astounding! It's another scam for money. PLEASE RESEARCH THIS!
I will--I have dense breasts and have had a benign tumor removed from the left "boob" when I was only 20 years old (56 years ago). I was getting yearly mammos until 2021.
Thank you...I will indeed research it - if you can send a link to research you have done as well, C.G., I will be most grateful!
Yes...I did breast mammography for several years - about 14 years ago. Then the practitioner that offered that ceased to do so, and I couldn't find a back up source. I will have to do some more research since I moved to a newer area 3 years ago. Thanks for the "nudge", Hendrick!
I would find a new massage therapist--truly!!! Have you shared (in writing of course) any of the REAL DATA on adverse reactions (death!) to the "jab" and the TOTAL waste of effort of wearing a mask when the aerosolized virus particles can easily penetrate everything but that medically approved N95 mask (ir is that what your therapist dons?)
The N95 fails too. Only in limited circumstances, when properly fitted for a brief amount of time does it have the potential to provide a minor benefit.
Of course, no mask can stop an airborne virus from entering the eyes.
I get that, Pamela - I get truly nauseous when I see the "raggers" tromping around (most of them with such a dejected gait, I "almost" feel compassion for them.
She forced me to wear a mask to get treatment (which I needed for back issues) until the vax came out. We discussed the matter at length and despite all of my evidence she refused to listen.
It's been over a year. I occasionally wonder if she's injured or even still alive. We were technically friends for 10 years.
Good grief. This is someone who has her hands all over people’s epidermis. Certainly there are plenty germs _there_. Does she wear latex gloves when providing her services??
My massage therapist answered me that she would wear her mask until there weren’t as many germs around! SMH

BEAUTIFUL come back, Bites...and can you send me an article that states this so I can save it to my 'puter?

Or the patient's blood spurting up into their face, if things get messy.

Look into thermograms - they don't have the radiation, and they will detect issues many years earlier than a mammogram will.

You have a stronger stomach than I. I can’t be around those wearing a silly cloth over their face.

"Raggers." Love it!

Have you ever called this person to check on her welfare, Anthony? If you were "technically friends", a phone call would make sense, wouldn't it?
No, I haven't. I don't know if she thinks any differently and since we parted on bad terms I don't want to step back into that situation.
Oh...I didn't realize there was animosity involved between the two of you--I totally understand, Anthony.
