This is not new.
I’ve been screaming about this for over a year.
Every single MD working in hospitals knows the “Covid death count” is completely bogus- and no one will admit it.
@MagisterBracey
Good job. BA.2 is coming. You’re probably the only one in that theater who will live to see April.
Better get another booster on Monday just to be safe though.
@hrana
Wow.
As a physician I completely identify with your plight.
We did almost the same thing- except that we have given zero F*cks about Covid, took absolutely no precautions and gave up absolutely NOTHING for two years.
And we got Delta. Not OmiCold.
Then went on a cruise.
@AConcernedPare2
It’s amazing- isn’t it?
I was “first kid on my block” to get vax- and was thrilled to use my MD connections and inside knowledge to get my whole family vaxxed when it was impossible to find an appointment-
Now?
I’m like- “F**k your boosters you lying F**king F**ks!!”
My Covidian associate- who does everything “right”-
Just tested positive for the Omicron sniffles AGAIN.
After 5 shots.
He has now missed 3 weeks for “isolation protocols” in the last 18 months-
Which is more time than I’ve missed in 25 years.
So…
I just… stopped.
Stopped wearing a mask as of last Friday.
The degree to which my patients are unfazed is kind of shocking.
80+ patients- and not a single one asked why I didn’t have a mask- some left theirs on- some didn’t.
No complaints- though I’m sure someone will…😎
Yesterday I had to give a patient a diagnosis that has a very good chance of being a death sentence.
Any physician who thinks this can be done 100% effectively with your faces covered should discontinue practicing immediately.
@JReinerMD
1) less obesity
2) less obesity
3) less obesity
4) healthcare system that does not incentivize the reporting of “incidental” Covid hospitalizations and deaths
5) less obesity
This is criminal.
But what is even more criminal is that these bastards went through with vax mandates and mass firings-
Months later- In FALL 2021-
When EVERYONE paying attention knew that the vaxxed were getting Covid left and right.
Disgusting.
@dgurdasani1
I love this.
A “Doctor” who gets SIX vaccines, obsessively wears a mask, then whines like a child when she finally gets the dreaded Omicron head cold-
Claims to be living in OTHER peoples heads… 😹😹😹
@ERICSORENSEN
When the science shows Covid evolved into a cold a year ago- and they don’t admit the pandemic is over- that’s a LIE.
When the science shows that the boosters are ineffective and unnecessary- and they push them anyway- that’s a LIE.
So- after 40 yrs of watching elections- and finding out winners election night-
We’re supposed to accept that the “new normal” is we don’t find out the winner until a bunch of ballots gets unpacked from boxes and trunks of cars 2 weeks later.
And NEVER question it.
Sounds legit.
The BEST thing about asking each patient to unmask when I enter the room-
Is that frequently it sets the patient off - “Oh thank GOD!”- and of course I join in and we spend a couple minutes sharing our disdain for face diapers.
Puts me behind schedule a bit-
But SO worth it. 😹
@LynPaul6
If you’re lucky- the shot will make you feel crappy for a couple of days- and then you will get Covid anyway.
If you’re unlucky it may actually decrease your immunity long term.
This shot has zero clinical data to show it works at all.
It should be pulled from the market.
Republicans have made a HUGE mistake not making Covid mandates a central issue.
Public health MDs WANT mask mandates back. Planes, schools, etc.
Dems are no doubt telling them “just wait til after the election”-
Case numbers go up, cue the media blitz, masks back by Thanksgiving.
Good riddance.
Walensky doesn’t get nearly enough “credit” for the absolute most singularly destructive moment of the 3+ year Covid fiasco:
“Masks back on the vaccinated”-
Let’s examine where we were when Walensky dropped this turd on us in July 2021:

@gratefulguy1
This is great- but sadly the percentage of people willing to stop complying is in the single digits.
That’s why we are in this mess- and we will all be back masked come winter.
If you sincerely believe that a few days of cold/flu symptoms are going to disable you for years-
I cannot reason with you.
I can tell you that you will never again live a normal life.
I am certainly NOT going to cover my face for the rest of my career to appease you.
Now that my fellow GOP voters have been duped into running a sure loser-
DeSantis just goes back to FL and keeps racking up wins.
It’s like watching your NFL team draft some stiff- while the guy you wanted them to pick dominates and goes to the Super Bowl.
🤦🏻♂️
@DrCJohns
Remember the old adage you learned on the first day of clinical rounds in Med school?
“Only recommend a test- if the result is going to change your management.”
There is no reason to put a “name” on a kid’s cold.
These parents are correct- learn from them.
Last year our extended family got together for our usual big Thanksgiving-
- and all the adults got Covid. Including my wife, myself and our parents.
So this year our extended family will get together for our usual big Thanksgiving.
At my daughter’s college today- drove by her freshman dorm-
Memories of moving her in- Aug 2021-
Being told we had to wear masks (we refused) as we walked her stuff up 3 flights in 90 degree weather-
We must never forget what an utterly stupid time this was. 🤦🏻♂️
@MrsBigTunaa
This is so freaking absurd I scrolled through to make sure it wasn’t parody.
I’m sure your MIL said to herself “screw this- let the kid be a kid FFS.”
Maybe grandma should get custody… 🤔
Costco finally got rid of the plexiglas at every register.
It’s sad when we celebrate- because someone stopped doing something mindbendingly stupid and useless.
Remember when your teacher would show that microscopic photo of all the invisible mites and creatures that live on our skin-
And everyone would laugh and joke- but there would be one kid who would freak out and cry?
That’s the kid who is now grown up and measuring CO2 levels.
Masking is about survival for an

This is truly horrendous.
These are the MDs who have abdicated proper treatment- their patients test positive- and the doctors hide under their desks and tell them “telehealth only- good luck- hope you don’t have to go to the ER”
As expected- once NY State ditched the healthcare mask mandate- nearly every major hospital and health system has decided to forge on with masking.
Including my hospital.
Medicine now OWNS one of the all time dumbest pandemic policies: “ALL healthcare settings.”

@punkybrewsters1
@misterchambo
The fact that they went through with vax firings was immoral, unscientific and unethical.
The fact that they still have these mandates in effect- a year later- when literally EVERYONE vaxxed has got infected- is criminal.
@PassaicSchools
The rest of your state, the country, and the world is not doing this to kids.
What do YOU think you know that everyone else doesn’t?
Kids and parents need to show up unmasked- in force.
Shut the schools down if necessary.
@SolNataMD
If this REALLY actually happened-
Then what OTHER medical condition caused this person to be hospitalized?
Because it sure as hell ain’t Covid.
@llamallamamama2
This so did NOT happen. No one would ever disrespect a MAGA hat by throwing it at a Lib.
But the rest of it is likely 100% true.
I’m inspired by your story to get my 6th booster.
It’s unbelievable to be an MD- having had “Cochrane review” drummed into us for YEARS as the gold standard of Evidence Based Medicine-
And watch the medical establishment completely ignore this study…
Did Biden just talk about women leaving the workforce because they can’t afford childcare?
How about women leaving the workforce because Democrats shut down schools?
What an absolute slimeball.
@HughDalton20
This is nuts. I’m a physician. I regularly offer to my vaccinated patients to take our masks off in the exam room- they are ecstatic- people are so tentative, they are genuinely terrified that the crap Fauci says might be true-
@patriotcorners1
I would vote for DeSantis in a primary- against Trump.
Although I would prefer Trump step aside and endorse him.
DeSantis is the next POTUS- the only question is will Trump make it easy or hard…
@annbauerwriter
The CDC deems you “not up to date” if you haven’t had booster(s).
So these Democrats who will be forcing your kids to get vaxxed- will be mandating the “bivalent” booster.
The one that can’t break 5% of eligible ppl taking it.
Forcing kids to get this garbage will be war.
First day back at the office today-
Both front desk women- masked.
4 other MDs- masked.
2 medical assistants- masked.
I find it amusing.
People are engaging in this absurdity strictly out of peer pressure.
I can’t wait til I’m the only one unmasked- again. 🤦🏻♂️
For 2+ years I have done the WRONG thing-
I have NOT worn a mask-
I have been in crowds OFTEN-
I am NOT “up to date” with boosters-
Now I have a sniffle/sore throat, and will never know if I have Covid b/c these tests will remain sealed in their box.
Pray for me.
#CovidIsNotOver
I am still beyond livid at the Covid response- and I got off easy.
My wife and I are in healthcare- therefore “essential”- so we kept our jobs.
My kids came through OK- but a year either way in their ages = different story.
The lack of accountability makes my skin crawl.
Never forget the trauma that Blue America deliberately and fanatically inflicted on you, your family, and your children.
Never forget that their mass hysteria destroyed trust in our institutions, destroyed your children's mental health and education, destroyed the economy,…
In nearly 3 months of
“F**k the masks- I’m done”
I’ve seen over 1000 patients-
Not ONE patient has objected to me being maskless.
Must be my pretty face…🤷♂️
PLEASE don’t fall for the “they’ll just cheat” narrative.
If Democrats could “just cheat”- they wouldn’t have had 3 dozen House members retire.
They wouldn’t be sending BOTH Clinton’s, BOTH Bidens, and Kamala- to campaign in F**king New York.
Get out and vote.
#RedWaveComing
Today- I finally had a patient get angry that I wasn’t wearing a mask.
She said: “how come YOU’RE not wearing a mask- and the front desk made ME put one of those stupid things on?”
She is 96 years old. 😹
@69MimiLisa
San Francisco-
Harassed by bums everywhere I went-
Panhandlers outside front door of 4 star hotel-
And this was 15 years ago- can’t even imagine what it’s like today-
Read this statement twice-
Looked for “we apologize for partnering with a gross caricature of a woman that our consumers find to be blatantly offensive”
Looked for “the responsible parties have been terminated.”
It has neither.
Continue boycott…
@LarrySchweikart
“emerging evidence suggests that Trump supporters do not trust polls, and therefore, do not take their calls — especially when it requires a time commitment”-
This is a much more important issue than “shy” Trump voters- Dems love virtue signaling to pollsters- Rs hang up!
It has now been 2 months since I last wore a useless mask in the office.
My recent online reviews from patients:
“Excellent”/“courteous”/“friendly”/“professional”/“kind”“caring”/“great”-
You know what NONE of them say?
“Why isn’t he wearing a mask?”
It’s over. Stop complying.
STOP testing for a cold.
STOP giving obsolete vaccines for a cold-
STOP giving expensive medicines for a cold (rebound?!?)-
STOP wearing ineffective masks to prevent a cold-
Just STOP everything.
None of it works.
It’s OVER.
It’s so weird walking through a massive crowded airport like JFK- and you see the 1 or 2 out of every 100 people still wearing a mask.
Do these folks just constantly seethe with anger at everyone around them- for being “selfish” and “uncaring” about others’ health?
It has now been one month since I last wore a mask in the office.
Hundreds of patients have had the opportunity to complain to my face, complain to my office manager & staff, and/or to write negative reviews that will be posted on my company website.
Number of complaints: ZERO.
@markmywordsltd
I’d like a psychologist to explain why a large segment of the population will fight to the death to force as many people as possible to wear masks-
When there is zero evidence they have worked anywhere in the world.
@dgurdasani1
So- what you’re saying is:
Your 6 (6!) shots didn’t work-
Your high tech mask didn’t work-
Paxlovid didn’t work-
But apparently if only the rest of us wore some crappy surgical mask you would’ve been fine.
What trash. 🤡
One of our nurses took Paxlovid- turned her Covid into a MONTH- her husband didn’t- and recovered in half the time-
Her MD told her “next time just tough it out”- B/c this is apparently a regular occurrence-
Paxlovid is now the “Public Health Covid Shitshow” du jour…
@whatintheope
1) what exact condition do you have that you claim makes you “immunocompromised?”
2) what physician ever advised you that the only way to manage your condition is to force everyone around you to wear something over their faces?
Like any MD- I am constantly fighting insurers over medically appropriate drugs and procedures for my patients.
It requires authorizations, office notes, endless staff time & effort.
But hospitals can unnecessarily swab EVERYONE for Covid and get paid extra $ without question.

NY dropped the mask mandate yesterday- effective tomorrow.
Well, I just happened to have a clinic today-
- And we have not received ANY guidance from the hospital.🤷♂️
So it was “Masks Optional.”😜
We’ll see if our bosses screw us over on Monday-
But today? F**king Glorious.

In my 4 months of mask defiance- only one patient has asked me to put a mask on- a young woman with an infant.
She came in again yesterday- this time said nothing- and the baby (now 5 mo) smiled at my unmasked face the entire visit. (“She LIKES you!”)
This is what it’s about.
"Girls’ sports teams and leagues will be barred from Nassau County’s 100 ballfields and athletic facilities — unless they agree to ban transgender competitors"
Youth sports is HUGE here.

There were 5 BLM rallies in my neighborhood in 2020.
With threats of violence and arson.
I need to be able to be confident that when the next riot happens I can take clear photos from a safe distance.
@unheardparent
My lowest point?
Wearing a useless, performative, ineffective surgical mask at work for 2 1/2 years straight.
And still doing it.
With literally NO end in sight-
And NO one lifting a finger to object or question- not even anti-mandate politicians.
@Right_Side_FJB
I’m in NY.
Unlock door-
Run upstairs to high ground-
Wait til he enters house-
Bury 11 hollow points in 2 thugs-
Ask for medical attention and attorney.
You don’t just get hospitalized “for depression.”
You get hospitalized when your depression is so severe that you admit to being suicidal.
Fettermans wife, the Democratic Party, and the media are pure evil.
Watching this awful school shooting coverage on Fox-
They cut to Biden- who comes out yukking it up, with his stupid “I’m Mr. Jill Biden” and talking about his freezer full of chocolate ice cream-
Before launching into his “ban assault weapons” crap-
He is just an embarrassment.
“We want to give people a break from mask-wearing when these metrics are better, and then have the ability to reach for them again should things worsen,”
If Democrats are re-elected- you AND your children will be right back in masks next winter.
So- my wife lost the 2nd key fob to my car.
Anyone who’s been through this knows- you’re not replacing it for under $300.
But since I would prefer to have sex again sometime before summer, I have to pretend it’s “no big deal sweetie.” 😬😬
Another year off my life expectancy…
@elizavetaka
There have been “kids with cancer” in schools forever. Did we ask healthy kids to wear useless cloths over their faces to signal that they “care?”
No we didn’t.
If a kid has cancer- they won’t be in school until they are well enough not to worry about infections.
If you are a physician-
Still masking while seeing patients in 2023-
You will be masking for the rest of your career.
This reflects such a lack of critical thinking skills- and such profound neurosis-
That you should reconsider your career choice.
“Kids are getting sick- b/c their immune systems have been destroyed by Covid”-
- is totally made-up bullshit-
Fabricated to scare people into masking their kids.
1/2
And…
Today is the day.
If you have followed me you know I quit wearing a mask months ago-
But it’s still GREAT to see my staff free of the charade- and not have to tell every patient “you can take that off” in the exam room.
The focus now?
Make sure it NEVER happens again…
There should be a national outcry against requiring the Covid vaccine for literally ANYTHING, ANYWHERE.
Travel, college, employment, etc-
Even the most hard core Covidians won’t try to argue that the vax prevents anyone from spreading the virus.
Just sheer lunacy.
Was in my hospital ICU yesterday- First time in a year-
The ICU beds are full- and only ONE single patient “with Covid”-
The RNs are all wearing SURGICAL masks- not an N95 in sight- many with noses sticking out.
This is such a F**king charade.
@SKMorefield
“We are simplifying our message-
Just get the damn shot!
Forget about the fact that there’s zero evidence it works…”
