It worked for a while, but now no one seems to be concerned they will be sued for discriminating on the basis of a medical condition anymore. I can't help but believe its because they are more afraid of the health department fining them, but that's another issue entirely. I called the ADA hotline and asked about it. The girl on the line said "they can make protocols in the interest of public safety. This includes requirements to ware a mask or a face shield. I pressed her about how this can supersede those with a medical condition that prevents them from wearing a mask. The short and shit answer was too damn bad.
I am not surprised by any of this mind you. I knew the masks were never about safety or health from the beginning, and no amount of evidence as to the ineffectiveness of masks since then has changed any(government) minds about it, nor will it. The simple truth is the masks are a half-life 2 pop can.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QNd8iNx1gGkIn the game this is a test of submission. It is designed to show the player that they are in a dystopian hell hole. The masks, which have no medical justification whatsoever, and in fact are dangerous, are just this - a test of submission.
I am sure everyone here understands that perfectly well, but for the time being I... WE need to find another way to deal with this. I won't cave. I will lose my job before I do, but so much the better if I don't have to.
So time to get down to brass tacks. What is the most effective way to ramrod this or any exemption through at work or the doctors office? If the answer is "lawyer" or "sue them", remember I'll need to start with a lawyer that will even see me without a mask, and is willing to fight this. That is a pickle right there since most will also be posed.
I need details. How do I go about finding the right lawyer, what do I say, how do I present myself? What exactly are my rights?
I'm in Indiana btw. There isn't any standing public mask mandate that I am aware of, but all the medical offices that I've checked (many) all said masks are required. I have been thrown out of several places when I booked an appointment and tried just showing up in spite of the mandates. I've said and done everything short of suing to bully this through, all to no avail. Clearly that strat isn't working anymore either.
This isn't as simple as not giving my business to a lefty restaurant. Medical and work are serious and worth fighting for.
I'm grateful for any advice.

I am reminded of that post about the rats in water. The rats gave up and drowned in 15 minutes. Then they did the experiment again, and this times they pulled the rats out at 13 minutes and let them rest before putting them back in. This times the rats swam for like 24 hours before collapsing. One soldiered on for 48 hours.
I think about this in relation to current events often.

The other thing you can do is move. There are plenty of places, assuming you are American, that don't push this shit. You can go into business for yourself. All those immigrants owning businesses just get loans to open franchises. Be bold. Live life on your terms.

Call it all out as gaslighting and narcissistic abuse!!
Ask them if they are ok with being charged and sued with psychological torture and denial of rights.
Point out that the tactics being used are know to be used by narcissists, psychopaths and pedophiles. And that they have made themselves accomplices in treason, crimes against humanity and genocide. That their ignorance is no defence under the law.
These morons only care about personal consequences and they worry more about the government abusing them or losing their jobs. Make them worry about the legal consequences of their blind obedience.

- Even if it did, surgical masks are worthless without overhead industrial ventilation and cloth masks are bacterial sponges

Apparently they also have an office in Champaign, IL. I just know of them and they come recommended to me from my former mentor who got me started on my journey into natural health. I haven't needed to visit a doctor during any of this because, frankly, I'm very healthy, so they are just a suggestion on my part, but I'd be floored if they did any of the mask BS.

"A lack of planning on your part does not constitute an emergency on our."
No.
This situation you're in right now is 100% your fault because you knew it was going to happen. I have no problem lifting people up when they fall but you deliberately tripped yourself on this one.
And this bullshit about "Prove to me covid exists" and they hung up. That wasn't a victory, moron. Those people have better things to do with their day than to argue incessantly with people who won't go out and look it up for themselves.

I feel for you but, no. You sat on your ass in hubris and arrogance and now it's come back to bite you.
