After much consideration, I decided on what to write on that surgical mask I was forced to wear at the dentist last week and will wear again in another week. I had settled on "Why are you afraid?" but then I had a better idea, probably from one of el gato's memes. The trick was finding something comparable to how it spread out on my face, and the stuffed animal I thought of using worked perfectly. I wrote: "It's not about a virus." I'll report how it goes next week. 😸
We faced that today. Our dentist office said: “Masks, no exceptions!” I said no. We were early and no one else was there so we proceeded to our teeth cleaned (though the dentist was short with us during our 2 minute exam). I mean, you can remove the mask as soon as you leave the reception area, so, come on… It makes me want to look for another dentist. I suspect they are all following the health department’s edicts.
They're afraid they'll be shut down by the dental association and/or the health department. Last time I was at the dentist, though, I wore the mask under my nose while I waited and didn't wear it at all when I left the examining room afterward and stopped at the receptionist's desk on my way out. No one said anything to me about it, including the receptionist, who was wearing her own mask on her chin.
I wish I could say the same for my doctor's office. I had my mask on my chin while I waited for her, and the minute she walked in she told me to pull my mask up. Not "hello" or "how are you doing," but "pull your mask up." Then she ignored the problem I'd listed as the reason for my visit and instead looked at her computer screen while she harangued me about taking the jab. The only reason I go back to this quack once a year is to get my BP medications and my disability placard renewed -- and a couple of years ago, she tried to get my placard taken away because my problem (AF back injury, damaged vertebrae causing scoliosis) didn't match anything on her checklist. Pardon my rant....
Yes, they want to make sure to show their disapproval to those of us who refuse to comply with their irrational policies. It's all about medical tyranny and tyranny in general. I get by at my doctor's office with a face shield, but like Phoebe comments below, I'd rather have a PCP who isn't captured by Big Pharma and would follow the science, not the ScienceTM.

My mask, when forced to wear it, say “this is Bullshit”
Don't have one. Maybe I'd write 'Sodden Germ/Virus Collector' on it if I did.
