The VAMC refused me healthcare since June 2020 Over the mask requirement because I can't breathe wearing the mast. They used every excuse not to make any accommodations. I looked up and read every scientific study I could find on the effectiveness of these masks on a virus going back to 2002 and every one that I came across since. Not one said they were effective. I went so far as research what these masks were rated to filter at and I told them what I learned. All I heard for three years was "Studies show masks work". Now I'm persona non grata at the VAMC. Last year I was able to see a civilian cardiologist. The artery that carries oxygenated blood to my heart is completely blocked and nothing can be done that will not result in my death.
