@Nonya_Bidniss@infosec.exchange YES! I don't like to get anyone in trouble, but in 2021, while we were losing so many lives to COVID, the lab tech for my Rheumatologist refused to wear a mask. I had to tell my doctor, and he let her go after talking to her twice.
She said that she went without a mask to "toughen up her immune system." This was not only absurd, but highly ironic, as I was, of course, being treated for a hyperactive immune system. That's what autoimmune disease is. It's not a good thing. She should have thought about protecting everyone else. Every single patient there was on an immunosuppressant.
Makes me mad even now.

@kimlockhartga@beige.party Which goes to show that many people in med-adjacent fields are trained to perform *processes,* not to understand underlying theory. They absorb mis- and disinformation just as well as people in non-med-adjacent work. We shouldn't make assumptions about their actual understanding of things.
