Yeah like with masks, some guy in the UK ran 9 miles or something with a mask on to prove it was no big deal. First of all, without any metrics in place to judge his physical state before, during and after, how would he know (except by how he “felt” which isn’t necessarily an indicator of anything at all). Second of all, I liken this to …

First of all, without any metrics in place to judge his physical state before, during and after, how would he know (except by how he “felt” which isn’t necessarily an indicator of anything at all). Second of all, I liken this to eating a bag of peanuts and then handing a bag to a severely allergic person and saying “have some of these, I ate a whole bag and I’m fine!” PEOPLE ARE NOT THE SAME!!! (Sorry for the yelling but the “I’m fine” argument is so aggravating to me, it means absolutely nothing!). Just because you had no issues doesn’t mean others didn’t/couldn’t have any, and also doesn’t mean you might not have some down the road.
RunningLogic - thank you! These, “I wear a mask just fine” people have grated my last nerve this whole time. See cause, I have Dysautonomia/POTS and my autonomic nervous system is well, kinda faulty. And your ANS controls silly things you kind of need like your breathing and your heart rate. Dysautonomia also causes you to have problems with blood flow to your brain. So even at the best of times you are struggling more to keep these systems regulated and not getting enough blood flow to your brain. So then what happens when you cover the place you where your oxygen comes in? Disaster. I had a hypoperfusion stressor, passed out, had a subsequent brain injury that led to two months immediate slurred speech and now two years later I still have vocal cord dysfunction that I need speech therapy for. Oh but, I can’t go to speech therapy because…you have to wear a mask. 🤦🏻♀️ It’s been a joy. I was only able to get one exemption of sorts to go semi-maskless (I still have to pull up the mask every time the RN comes in room) at my infusion center because that is where I actually passed out, but not without a huge fight. I even got into an argument with the office manager there because she pulled the “I have no problem wearing one crap” with me. I complained to the hospital president and she ended up having to apologize to me.
I had that brain injury on 5/29/20 while my father was isolated alone in the hospital, dying of cancer and I was trying to act as his medical proxy all over the phone. Then with injury had to work to get him out of hospital to home hospice so he wouldn’t die alone. By the grace of God got him home on 6/1, he died 6/2, but not before one home health nurse tried to come into the home wearing a full hazmat suit. 🤦🏻♀️ My father didn’t want her in the room, quite right! Then had to deal with all the mask exemption nonsense and nightmare of going into stores during mandates. Very uncomfortable. Then I’m quite sure I was injured by vaccine shedding after my mother got her two shots, I was covered in hives for 9 months, flared my MCAS and POTS. I am quite literally the epitome of someone who they are never going to get “pandemic amnesty” from.

Reading about your experience just makes me livid, it is so very wrong that you’ve been treated this way!!!! 😡🤬

I’m so sorry, and agree, no amnesty!!
That is just heartbreaking. I am so sorry you had to go through this.
Amen!
