i am in the core committee talking to a dude in the committee which is a palestine advocacy group, we were about covid 19 and i suggested we should implement mandatory masking policies for indoor events, after half our leadership was down with an illness. we are also in a summer surge
he has some kind of medical degree, and worked in long term care as a medical officer of some sort. I'm kind out of depth with this rhetoric tbh,
his comments
It is normal to get sick once a year and, in fact, healthy because it helps train your immune system. Some years you won't get sick, other will be twice.
Covid doesn't cause an impact on your immue system either. Sometimes you can be In a bit of a state of inflammation which happens in many viral infections. And long covid is a topic in itself. It has never been quantified by any and all testing except subjective
maybe he would be more receptive with super libbed up sources or something, i dunno what he would respect
...and...
Sooooo, it doesn't have an effect, but if it did its good for you? Sounds like he's just bullshitting you.
And when he pulls his rank on you, have him sign over personal liability for all medical expenses as a result of the event. He wants to play professional, he can take the rules that come with professionalism. Then make him in charge of collecting COVID liability wavers from every member in attendance for every single in-person event.
I'm serious, this is a liability issue for your organization and you should treat it as such. Likewise if he believes his own bullshit than all of this should be easy for him to do. I predict he will balk at such an invitation because he already knows his opinion is full of shit.
