FIRST FACE MASK DISCRIMINATION CASE NETS £7,000

on 08 December 2020

A disabled woman assisted by Kester Disability Rights has been paid £7,000 in compensation by a service provider who refused her access to a service because she was unable to wear a face mask.
The pay-out was achieved through negotiation as there was no dispute that access had been denied, or that the Claimant had a disability exemption.  The only thing to be agreed was the amount of compensation, not whether it was due or not. 
Refusing access to people unable to wear face coverings due to disability is direct discimination - no different to denying access to a black or gay person for example.
Disabled people are now routinely harassed in public for not wearing face coverings - frequently given the impression that confidential medical information must be publicly disclosed to justify exemption.  The fact that shops and hospitality businesses routinely display "no mask no entry" signs shows how deeply disablist attitudes are embedded in society.  If premises displayed "no blacks" or "no gays" notices there would be outrage.
Fortunately the official Government position does not endorse any of this as nobody exempt from wearing a mask is expected to go around justifying themselves.  Saying "I'm exempt" is enough.  If the response to that can be proved to be discriminatory then compensation is due.

The problem with face masks:
1 Masks break up larger aerosols into smaller aerosols: the nebulization effect
2 Smaller aerosols float in air for longest, larger aerosols drop due to gravity, even increase in size & drop quicker in humid conditions
3 Smaller aerosols get deeper into the lungs, leading to more severe infection & higher mortality
4 Masks also reduce oxygen concentration by trapping some CO2 released through breathing
Dostoevsky, Crime & Punishment, 1866:
"When he [Raskolnikov] was better, he remembered the dreams he had had while he was feverish and delirious.  He dreamt that the whole world was condemned to a terrible strange new plague that had come to Europe from the depths of Asia.  Everyone was to be destroyed except a few chosen ones.  Some sort of new microbe was attacking people’s bodies, but these microbes were endowed with intelligence and will.  Men attacked by them became instantly furious and mad.  But never had men considered themselves so intellectual and so completely in possession of the truth as these sufferers, never had they considered their decisions, their scientific conclusions, their moral convictions so infallible.  Whole villages, whole towns and peoples were driven mad by the infection.  Everyone was excited and did not understand one another.  Each thought that he alone had the truth and was wretched looking at the others, beat himself on the breast, wept, and wrung his hands.  They did not know how to judge and could not agree what to consider evil and what good; they did not know who to blame, who to justify….The alarm bells kept ringing all day long in the towns; men rushed together, but why they were summoned and who was summoning them no one knew….
The plague spread and moved further and further.  Only a few men could be saved in the whole world.  They were a pure chosen people, destined to found a new race and a new life, to renew and purify the earth, but no one had seen these men, no one had heard their words and their voices.”

FACT: Wearing masks increases severity of infection in others when a Covid19 infected person breathes through them compared to no mask due to the nebulization effect. Larger aerosols deposit in upper throat, nose, & tracheobronchial region of the lung. Medium-sized aerosols mostly deposit in small airways further down. The really small aerosols <1 μm can penetrate all the way to the alveoli - the basic units for gas exchange.
In contrast to other mode of transmission where virus hits nasal cavity and finds its way into lungs, aerosols can directly reach alveolar region and attack alveolar cells that produce Pulmonary Surfactant. PS is needed to lower surface tension & prevent alveoli collapse.
Loss of these alveolar cells results in alveolar instability, lung flooding, and respiratory failure - Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS). ARDS causes further damage through a hyperactive immune response of neutrophils and cytokines that damage alveoli even more. Dr Ali Nouri
Medicine as religion:

It is significant that the theologians who set its strategy are the representatives of a science, virology, that does not have its own place, but is situated at the border between biology and medicine.

Epidemic, as the etymology of the term suggests (demos is in Greek the people as a political body and POLEMOS EPIDEMIOS is in Homer the name for CIVIL WAR) is above all a political concept"

THE COVID CULT: "Cultic practice is no longer free and voluntary, exposed only to sanctions of a spiritual order, but must be rendered normatively obligatory."

"virus-laden aerosols, especially those within the most breathable size range between 0.5 and 5 μm, can carry SARS-CoV-2 deep to the terminal alveoli. However, if this transmission pathway does exist, it would bypass the mucociliary clearance and incubation period of the virus in the upper airways and thus cause direct detrimental effects on the alveolar regions of the lung, which would greatly change the progression of the disease. This could also in part explain the widely differential symptoms and clinical outcomes for COVID-19 patients even in a seemingly homogeneous population. In the alveolar region, interactions with the endogenous PS would determine the subsequent macrophage clearance of the virus-laden aerosols and interactions between the virus and ACE2 receptors expressed on the surface of alveolar type II cells. Synergetic effects between direct surfactant inhibition and reduced surfactant metabolism would worsen lung homeostasis and cause alveolar collapse and instability,
