@lispi314 @mossmann @berdandy Like, cigarette vendors have the guts, when ordered by courts to say their products are harmful, to instead say "we've been ordered to tell you this is harmful despite disagreeing with that".
Medical providers should have the guts to do the same. Instead of saying "masking is encouraged but not required", say "please mask! we want to require you to mask, because it's necessary for the protection of our patients and staff, but [whoever] explicitly forbids us from doing that".
