When I was forced to wear a mask at the VA, or I would be denied needed medical care, by the time I took it off, it was soaking wet on the inside.
Because I have pulmonary problems, wearing a mask made me feel like I was suffocating. In turn, my anxiety increased, and my breathing became more labored.
It’s really criminal, what they did 😡 My son would take off his mask at school because he couldn’t breathe right with it and got yelled at for it 🙄 And his former pediatrician wouldn’t write an exemption 😡
What always bothered me about the VA insisting on wearing a mask, or being denied medical care, was that they had no concern for veterans suffering from PTSD, depression, anxiety, traumatic brain injury, or military sexual trauma.
Can you imagine being a veteran who was sexually assaulted in the military? Imagine the perpetrator holding their hands over a person's mouth to keep them from calling out for help.
Did wearing a mask force that veteran to relive that trauma?
Funny you brought up this rape (also domestic abuse or kidnapping) survivor scenario. That was my FIRST reaction to the mask mandates.😡 The re-living of their trauma. Not just confined to military, of course.
You would think those masks would be covered with covid "germs."
Yes from people coughing and sneezing on them 😝
...and all that sweat and bacteria that would be percolating on the inside surface.
Ewwww, I know!! 😝

I know, it’s pure evil. Especially when they knew it didn’t really do anything to prevent illness. Mask and compliance über alles 😡
