So you feel like I should be pretty much locked away just because I can't wear a mask due to it inhibiting my ability to wear my oxygen.

Truthfully if you are wearing a cannula I don't see why you can't breath in a mask.
And if you are wearing an oxygen mask covering it with a cloth mask should not be a problem.

Contra: Trust in medical science to produce a vaccine both safe and effective for its purpose.

Reject "anecdotal references."

Discount posts here that omit links to vetted facts and information about the usefulness of the vaccine against the Chinese killer virus.

Do not tempt fate. Get vaccinated against the virus asap.

Personal stance:

I respect the right of the individual to commit suicide.

I hold that the individual has no right to commit murder or manslaughter.

It is as simple as that. No one can take away someone else's right to life.

Note: There are a few exceptions, with stringent proviso.

This thread is politicized by design.
A mask (a good one, mind you) does offer measurable protection for the wearer. But the greater protection comes to those around the mask wearer. We wear the mask for the most part to protect others near us. I have your back, and I need to have yours.

There is a story about heaven, I don't recall the details, but the plot was that you cannot feed yourself but you can feed others next to you. And no one goes hungry in heaven.

But those who aren't vaccinated and who don't wear masks are not only hurting people, they are killing people. They are responsible for us being in the situation we are in. They are very selfish people who only care about themselves.

I was referring to the sealing around the face the the masks provided, and BTW viruses can infect by getting into the eyes, less common but possible, though it would probably be in the nose also at that point

On a tour through Heaven and Hell, the visitors noted that everyone sat at tables filled with food. In both locations, the hands were chained to prevent the reach to the food in front of the occupants. Of course, the query became what was different between the two locations. The reply is that those in heaven were willing to feed each other. The chains did not limit the reach across to the sides.

You're absolutely right in highlighting the importance of mask seals. A critical design consideration for military - or any - protective mask. I can't remember the sizes of the Mk V, but I believe the follow-on Navy mask, the. MCU-2/P, came in 4 sizes to achieve a good fit.

I'm sure there are rules covering such exemptions, and you won't get the final word here. Your doctor would be the first place to check.

Regarding posts above about the choice of getting a Covid-19 Vaccine shot, the current data showing that 90% of the new hospitalized Covid cases are unvaccinated individuals, I continue to be amazed and baffled that anyone would not get vaccinated.

We buy insurance in case we die. Why not get vaccinated to help us live?

Your body your choice? ------------- Not by putting others at risk by you spreading what you might have. It's not about you, it's about consideration for others. My son in-law didn't wear a mask, then infected my son who didn't wear a mask. My son in-law is dead, my son survived and now wears a mask. LESSON LEARNED. We are fighting two pandemics, Covid and Stupidity, it'snot about your rights, it's about survival for all. Just what does it take to learn this people?
