I think that is the right tone Mark. I am an ortho spine and I have asked people to remove masks in my office for a year. It is a challenge because at the entrance of the building it states they need to have one on. Most are grateful, some are so committed as to almost have to pry the masks from their cold dead fingers. Some, although only a minuscule number, ask me to wear one during the appointment. I have politely declined. Most have stayed but some never came back. Good riddance.

My position is similar to yours. This shit ends, with prejudice. WE are the solution we have been waiting for. Bravo to you.

Bravo! ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป๐Ÿ‘๐ŸปNow if we could get medical offices to remove a mask requirement for patients, Iโ€™d be thrilled & have much more respect for them.

I wish I could "like" this a million times. I especially appreciated the last paragraph. I have been saying masking children is child abuse from the start and only stopped short of saying to to complete strangers, although I have thanked parents who are not doing it! They were appreciative as they saw my smiling God-given face. I'll be sharing this one far and wide. I'd love to send it to my new PCP, but as it's been difficult to find one I can actually work with, I don't want to burn that bridge right away. ๐Ÿ™„

Dr. McDonald. I cannot thank you enough for standing up so valiantly to stop the use of masks to mitigate a virus that is not lethal for most Americans and children. I met you in June of 2022 in Columbus via an Ohio Stands Up Function and your talk was profound and so full of truth. I'm attempting to write a book on how much trauma it brought about it my life. I developed PTSD as a result of seeing people wear masks out in the public day in and day out throughout the past 3 years. I can't get over how many people don't use the brain that God gave them. I want to continue to follow you and support you in any way I can. Please don't stop speaking out with the truth. We need individuals to stay the course and speak truth. Thank you again for being such a warrior.
