I I made an oath to refuse to wear a mask; period. I played along last year for my jobsake, but not another day will i tolerate it. I fully see now this never ends until we ourselves stop tolerating it with complete veracity and conviction. Not at my job. Not for food. Nowhere. Frens, i could use godly council in this. I live in Virginia but on the east coast so i have to cross a bridge just to go to the dentist as it is. I've been worn down by this because I realize the severity of not having dental treatment in the long run. I can't predict how long this mask fiasco will go on but i made a vow not to play along anymore. My words mean nothing if I cave in now. I pray the Father gives me strength in the Holy Spirit to be obedient to this no matter the cost. In Jesus name, amen.
If anyone knows a dentist near the east coast of Virginia, preferably tge Southern end, not playing along with this garbage, please help.
God bless you all with the Holy Spirit, in Jesus name, amen.
My 10 year old son and I have been denied care at take different dental offices for refusing to mask. I say keep your appointments, show up and make them deny you care. Then document that you were denied care and calmly tell them they are illegally discriminating against you and participating in unlawful segregation of society. Shame them. It is not enough to just not show up (in ny opinion).
We have an appointment with a dentist in a county that doesn't have a mandate next month and I specifically plan to tell that dentist what happened to us and to encourage him to not participate in the segregation and discrimination of his community members. I am going to tell him that if he gets fined for not requiring masks he can win in court by demanding the local health officers provide material evidence that Sars Cov 2 exists and has been isolated in it's full form in a lab outside of a computer simulated setting. They cannot provide this evidence so once that legal precedent is set, the mask mandates in that county will end.
Please, have some sympathy.
Dentists are facing pressure from every direction. Some patients are against masks, some are for. Some patients want a fully vaccinated dental staff and strict protocols.
Dentists also are trying to comply with what official agencies are "mandating" / recommending, which is that patients wear masks in the office. Your dentists/offices you've been to are just trying to protect their ability to earn an income and feed their family.
Ex: I as a dentist am currently stuck in a feeling of perpetual stress. I fear for my license, business, and livelihood. I'm the only dentist I know (of my many classmates) that isn't vaccinated, nor requires masks for patients in the office.
I intend to refuse the vaccine and weekly testing which Newsom is mandating. Considered giving up, selling, and getting out now because I don't know what the future holds (a future bullshit FDA approval?), but some have motivated me to keep fighting and see if I can get in touch with some lawyers that can have my back
I hope you do, fren. I don't hate dentists. I just can't tolerate the abuse of my face any longer and feel led to seek dentistry willing to not go along with the get along, ya know? Human dignity matters more than a full mouth of teeth. (Not that teeth are not important.) But we should not have to choose one or the other. But I respectfully agree and see where you are coming from. God bless you with the Holy Spirit in Jesus name, amen.
