Mrs. S***** posting. Studies done in 2009, 2010, 2012, 2016, 2017, 2019, and even 2020, show that masks don't work and can increase infection risk which may account for the W.H.O.'s website declaration that, "At the present time, the widespread use of masks everywhere is not supported by high-quality scientific evidence, and there are potential benefits and harms to consider." Not only do medical masks not prevent the spread of virus, but a 1995 study proves that wearing a cloth mask can put you at greater risk for infection. Investigative reporter Ben Swann breaks down the science in the video linked below. Why then are the good physicians of COA complying with a health order not supported by science that also puts people at greater risk of infection? I was denied service because of this order and my refusal to inflict self-harm. Denis Rancourt, Ph.D., a former full professor of physics, is a researcher with the Ontario Civil Liberties Association in Canada. Rancourt’s investigation into mask wearing was part of his research for the Ontario Civil Liberties Association. He did a thorough study of the scientific literature on masks, concentrating on evidence showing masks can reduce infection risk, especially viral respiratory diseases. His determination - "There is no evidence that masks are of any utility either preventing the aerosol particles from coming out or from going in. You're not helping the people around you by wearing a mask, and you're not helping yourself preventing the disease by wearing a mask." He published this data in the paper, “All-Cause Mortality During COVID-19: No Plague and a Likely Signature of Mass Homicide by Government Response.” Furthermore, James Corbett's video Your Body, Their Choice exposes the plan to impose mandatory COVID vaccination is already in motion under the guise of containing COVID by the specific measures we are already being subjected to. These mandated COVID restrictions are the stated criteria promoted by APEASE, a Bill and Melinda Gates' sponsored organization set up to bring about mass acceptance of mandatory COVID vaccination. That this agenda is being implemented with the reprehensible "we're just following orders", an excuse soundly refuted by the Nazi Nuremberg trials, is beyond contemptible. For those who do contract COVID 19, there's The Zelenko Protocol, which leads to a 100% survival rate in low-risk patients and a 99.3% survival rate in high-risk patients. What's a high-risk patient? Zelenko says anyone age 60+ with symptoms and those under 60 with comorbidities or shortness of breath. Mandating masks compels me to be an active participant in gaslighting the public in opposition of my morals, ethics, and religious beliefs. There is nothing right about this in any way, shape, or form. As physicians, you have taken the Hippocratic Oath including the promise of “first, do no harm”. The above clearly shows much harm is being inflicted on me personally, and the public generally. It is your professional and moral responsibility to rectify this egregious adherence to bogus health orders.
