It's just a required physical, but if it is not completed I will be pulled out of service permanently.
I called and asked about their mask policy, of course it's still in place three years on. I tried avocating, I tried getting an exemption. Nothing worked. I've tried this same song and dance at FOUR eye doctors offices over this three years of dystopian hell and the answer is always NO. My cataract remains untreated because of it.
I called the "director of quality" for the health network that dictates the policy to the doctor's office in question. It took some doing to get ahold of her, but once I had her on the phone she was very nice, and not unsympathetic. I talked about all the moral, political, and health reasons why masks don't work and aren't right. She didn't attack me for my stance like I'd expected. I said its three years on for this mask thing, its past time to put it to bed. She more or less agreed with me, but she is only one person on a "committee" that decides these things. We talked about the CDC changing its own recommendations, again she agreed, but would only say "the committee is carefully watching this situation".
I opted to play nice. Ok, I don't expect you to change your police just for me, but can you at least get me an exemption. To her credit, she actually tried. At least she said she would make a few phone calls. She called back an hour later, and very politely, very apologetically, told me the answer was still no. No exemptions would be given.
I feel defeated, but caving now was never an option. I said when this started and it became clear that the mask didn't work that I would be dead before I wear one. I meant it then and I still mean it now.
I'm still going to go to the appointment, but I expect to be asked to leave.
I know this board understands that the masks were never about health or safety. They were always about perpetuating fear and beating the people down, to condition them to accept the arbitrary dictates of authority. They are a sign you wear on your face that says "I submit". All under the justification of "saving lives".
Three years on and the mask are gone everywhere except where it matters most, the medical field. Because they can be controlled from the top easier then mom and pop shops. Because they can ruin your health or end your career if you don't bend the knee. Because they know people will do almost anything to keep their health. So the cudgel remains.
Many have said the masks are just shy of the mark of the beast. Take the mark or be drummed out of society. Take the mark or suffer. Back then I'd agreed in part, but only in part.
Today, with my career about to end and my eye still untreated, I think I agree entirely.
So tell me Voat. Now what?
P.S. Don't even get me started on the vax.
Edit: Well this fucking blew up didn't it.

Wear a Halloween mask. Tell them they never specified what kind of mask. Then record them refusing service to you.
It's not your fault at that point. Show them proof that you tried to comply and then sue them if they look at you wrong.

So the only things left to do are to die on the hill or make a compromise. If this is a one-off requirement for one whole day, then I personally wouldn't consider you in violation of your principles if you just wore it this one time. (Spirit of the law) but others or yourself will see a single violation of your principles as unforgivable. (Letter of the law).
How it plays out is your decision.
I see two outcomes:
Don't compromise; lose your job, have eye issues, gain the temporary rapport of your peers here, know in your bones that you heldfast-- no matter the cost.
Compromise; keep your job, fix your eye, receive temporary muted to negative rapport with your peers here, kick yourself in the ass bending the knee.
Whatever you decide, keep your mouth shut about it. No one here will give a shit about you or what you did or didn't do in 5 years. You live with it.

if a doctor tells you masks stop viruses, theyre not just a little bit mistaken, they didnt 'forget' the facts, its virology 101, theyre flat out lying to you about basic medical science.

But I'll never forget the specialist trained NICU nurse crying because she, like every other nurse in the hospital, had to take shifts in COVID ward and then when that stint was over had to go straight back to her regular NICU shifts with no isolation period u like people had to who went to a shop hours after a covid infected person was there then had to isolate for two weeks.
They doctors and nurses all must know it's bullshit, and that makes them all the worse people for playing along.

Or be updated for any other medical condition you have or may develop in the short term.
If you've weighed everything, and consider being blind in one eye acceptable, then that's your position and by God, you'll make a stand. But folks are correct in that no-one here will really care (is anyone online your true friend?); so do what you must. But what happens if you have a stroke or heart attack? What if something as bad? And will your principles be intact when you're dead?
I'm saying there's other ways. You just haven't looked for them (like presenting another medical condition that prevents you from wearing one). And now, you're out of time.

If you are single, and have a savings, then give them a problem. Make them spend the money, make them be disrupted. FORCE them into a precedent in removing people who do not comply. As we have seen, the left hates it when their rules are used against them, as all their rules eventually are. Today they fire a cis white male over the mask and physicals. Tomorrow they will be firing troons because they refuse to do something normal.
Then again, i have not had this problem at the doctors offices. I just show up, not wear a mask, and so far no one has pushed the issue.

Wearing masks brings other risks, like increasing the risk of bronchitis. There's also the issue that surgical masks are designed to redirect exhalations away from a patient into a ventilation system. If you're not in a surgical theatre then you're just redirecting exhalations into the people beside/behind you.
The whole thing is a cargo cult. It's similar to the security theatre TSA go through: Looks like it's achieving something without actually delivering results.

This will fail often, but as you get better at selling your skills you'll have opportunities to get people singing your praises to other companies. It snowballs quickly if you are good at what you do and keep pushing.

Just hold the bandana up to your face the whole time with one hand. Switching it back and forth, be sure to blow your nose in it a couple times in front of everyone, because that’s what hankies are also for.
At the end of the appointment, pocket the tainted butt napkin in your back pocket and try to shake their hands in thanks. Make it a sudden, insistent gesture and they will likely automatically shake hands. Then put in a dip and mozie outta there.

You're facing the downside of being complicit with modern society. You HAVE already become an employee, and some might question if there's any further to fall...
I see no mention of a family to support, so there's no compelling reason to compromise your own convictions.
Good policy. The "...and let God sort them out" part comes later, so be chill in the meantime. This will hopefully free you to move beyond being an employee.

That they are committing Nuremberg code violations by denying you treatment!!
That their reasons are arbitrary, unscientific and dishonest!!!
Let them know they have skin in the game as an organization and as individuals. Demand they put their refusal and the reasons in writing before you leave.
You are not obligated to play along with gaslighting and are well within your rights to demand your boundaries are respected. You are refusing to be psychologically abused.
If they continue they are taking part in the much wider crimes and are liable to face criminal charges and huge financial penalties.
Stand your ground and explain the liabilities they are bringing on themselves by playing along with the greatest crimes ever committed against humanity.

At what point do your actions hurt yourself or others? I am speaking in regard to the principal of your actions.
I pushed back hard on masks and only wore them a handful of times. The birth of my son was one of those times. I did it not because I agreed with the system, but I did it because when my son was being born, it was more important for me to be with my wife, than to be in the parking lot, even at the expense of my own tightly held beliefs.
Being a man is not standing for your convictions, being a man is standing for your convictions and still doing the thing that needs to be done, even when the other person is wrong.
Fortune cookie wisdom would sum that up as "a living solder can fight another day".
Keep your job, or lose it, but don't think of yourself as a hero by sticking to your convictions while failing to do the thing that needs to get done, that would make you would be a coward.

I understand where you're coming from - I live in a place where they put us through hell in the name of our "safety". However, there is a big difference walking out of a mask mad restaurant, for example, and cataract treatment.
Look after your eyes. Wear the mask. They know we know they know it's retarded, but let this one go.

Don't make me wear a mask, or don't come into work tomorrow is zero compromise.
So given that the places that have refused you are still standing - in burnt - you have already accepted.
You are also passing up n opportunity to troll hard.
Where no mask is not an option,you can always make them feel serious regret.
I like to let them know that I was kidnapped and as a result, wearing a mask can cause unexpected outbursts of extreme violence.
You can later it by asking if perhaps have a security guard present just in case....the crown prosecution service were luckily very understanding last time there was an incident, but told me I needed to take extra precautions as they can't just write me a blank cheque to commit GBH

Don't wear the mask.
I don't know what field you work in, but this is probably not the true end of the road. The best thing I ever did for my life was start my own small business many years ago. I designed a business model around myself and my life goals, and have tirelessly executed my plans with commitment and passion, and it's worked. I don't know if this is something you think you could do, it's not something I was sure I could do when I started down this path, but if you think you could do it, then perhaps you ought to try.
Owning my own business has given me freedom. It's a lot of work, but it has always been worth it, and has afforded me a lifestyle I enjoy, and that has the flexibilty I want and need in order to live the way I want. Because of all this, I was able to move out of a dystobian shithole of a city/state to a free(er) state in a "city" and county that doesn't give a shit about masks or social distancing, or any of that bullshit. I moved here taking a lot of factors into consideration, demographics, crime rates, cost of living, firearms freedoms, weather, realestate options, market research for my business, culture, blah blah blah, but very importantly, I saw how this place responded to the (((pandemic))), by barely responding at all, and figured this was a pretty safe place.
The one sector here, despite this area's very high liberty quotient, that still mandated masks was the medical world... until somewhat recently. I knew this county would shed bullshit tyrannical mandates, like masks, before others, based on it's history of saying "fuck this garbage", and I'm a little surprised it took this long, but now it is all officially over.
I don't know where you live, but maybe it's time to move. And maybe it's time to claim yourself some independence and start your own business, one where only you set the rules.

The reality is that sometimes... You have to play their game. I had to renew my driver's license back in 2020. I could not do it online. I had to go in and wear a mask. I got to the DMV, had to wait my turn outside and was told I HAD to wear a mask while OUTSIDE of the DMV. It was asinine, and I could have argued and refused, but what do I do without a driver's license? If I get into an accident and my license is expired, I'm fucked. Really fucked. I had to suck it up and play their game. I stood nothing to gain otherwise and was only in a position to lose.
If you're just going to some physician's office to get a physical, wear the mask. You're not caving. This is the world we live in and you don't get anywhere without playing their game to some extent. Unless you're financially sound enough that you'll be OK until you find a new job (IF you find a new job) or you're ready to go innawoods, it seems like you have nothing to gain otherwise and are only in a position to lose.
Look at it this way: if you don't wear the mask, they refuse you, and you lose your job, there's a jew somewhere rubbing his hands and grinning like a fucking sociopath.

no you dont. ever. it just makes it more difficult for the non compliant.
"Just wear the mask, youre not caving" - thats the very definition of caving.
"You dont get anywhere without paying their game" - yeah you do. once you comply they have that on you. you cannot turn around and say 'i never gave my consent' because you literally just did.

If it were me, I'd wear the mask because I can't afford to lose my job. You can still pull it down below your nose, even wear it on your chin. You could wear it proper and tell everyone you encounter that the mask policy isn't about health but obedience.
You will have lost your job in vain as you aren't going to be a martyr to anyone but us. Unless the news covers your story, it's just about your convictions. Which again is admirable- I just don't want you to suffer because of stubbornness anymore than this whole situation has already made you suffer.

"The masks don't work." is a bullshit sentence. What does that even mean? Don't work at what?
Filtering 100% of virus sprayed on them from a sneeze or cough?
How about holding the snot inside the mask when someone sneezes or coughs?
HOW ABOUT THE COMBINED EFFECT OF THE TWO?
