CDC’s Guidelines Cited When Denying Me Medical Safety

[Eugenics, surgery]

CDC guidelines are putting me directly into harm’s way as a #HighRiskCovid19 person.

When I request vaccinated, N95-masked, negative antigen tested staff attending me for an upcoming surgery; the CDC guidelines are cited when denying me those things.

Time & again, I’m told that healthcare staff must wear N95s with COVID patients because N95 masks protect them from getting COVID. N95s are NOT required (just surgical) to protect ME — a #HighRiskCovid19 person — from getting COVID during surgery.

Some facts:

  • Vaccinated people can spread COVID
  • #HighRiskCovid19 people have less response to vaccines & are told to act like we’re unvaccinated
  • Disabled people are dying in large numbers
  • N95s are far better than surgical masks
  • Newer variants = more vaccine-evasive

What am I required to do before surgery?:

  • PCR test 4 days before surgery, quarantine those 4 days
  • Not have the surgery if I have COVID
  • Do other tasks that prevent my acquiring or sharing COVID with other patients or staff
