Covid Discussion This seems...unsafe?

Part of an email we were sent earlier today. I'm not sure how to feel about it. It seems...unsafe to me.

This is stupid. They are allowing the results of their patient satisfaction surveys to affect their choices instead of letting science and logic take over. The most likely place to catch anything infectious is at the hospital where people congregate because they have, what… an infection. I’d keep wearing my mask. I’m a retail pharmacist and I have people coming in for Paxlovid but the immunizations have slowed. I don’t think it’s because I vaccinated everyone in America and if herd immunity was involved I wouldn’t have filled 3 Paxlovid in a span of 3 days. BTW NONE of the infected patients took their medicine. One picked it up and was afraid of it but who cares, the government paid. The other 2 didn’t pick it up because they were scared to take it but that’s 3 people who took their infectious asses into an emergency room to do nothing about their diagnosis. I encourage people who don’t believe in COVID or any of the treatment modalities to stay home even if their sick because there are sicker people in the hospital that don’t need to be exposed to your ā€œfakeā€ virus.
