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.
You said you're in California. I am too. I can have 10 or more new patients on your waiting list by tomorrow if they know you will not force them to put a face diaper on themselves or their child or require that they have had a poison death shot to receive treatment. I am getting text messages every single day from friends who are fed up with these restrictions and with the doctors and dentists and business owners who are complying with it.
If you don't understand what is happening it makes sense to be afraid but if you know that these measures are designed to bankrupt, injure and kill large numbers of our population you simply cannot participate in it.
Regarding your staff, I would approach them with confidence too. They are welcome to continue their employment with you and to protect themselves however they feel necessary with their PPE. They are also welcome to seek work elsewhere with another employer who is practicing segregation and discrimination of employees and patients. Guaranteed there are hygienists and other qualified staff members who have been fired recently for not accepting the vaccines in their office. You can replace any troublemakers in your office probably easier than ever right now.
There is just zero argument or justification for these ridiculous measures in a dental office or in a restaurant for that matter. In the dental office you are literally working inside people's open wide mouths for sometimes over an hour at a time! This fake fear your employees are bringing to your attention has everything to do with wanting to control your behavior and the behavior of others and nothing to do with keeping themselves or others safe.
To a certain extent, it's gonna depend on where you are in California. If you're more away from city shitholes I bet your friends are more red/conservative. I get 0 texts from friends who are fed up with restrictions. But also most of my friends were bought-in to the pandemic and MSM thought, and we've since stopped talking.
To your point on staff, I recently bought this practice, so I am reliant on the hygienists to that maintain the long relationship the office has had. If the hygienists move to another office nearby, the patients will gladly follow. If I had another year to establish connections I'd be in a much more flexible position.
