It's well established that Koch's postulates have not been met:
 (1) The microorganism must be found in diseased but not healthy individuals; (2) The microorganism must be cultured from the diseased individual; (3) Inoculation of a healthy individual with the cultured microorganism must recapitulated the disease; and finally (4) The microorganism must be re-isolated from the inoculated, diseased individual and matched to the original microorganism.

Nonsense.

Koch's Postulates have been met. Read the literature to which I have linked.

Does anyone know where in NW Virginia or anywhere closer to that than Florida their might be an eye doctor who will see us if we refuse to suffocate ourselves.

Unless I missed it, so far the posts seem to be telling LOT to go to a doctor even if he/she requires a mask.  I happen to agree with that, but that is not what he's asking. He's asking for names of eye doctors closer to him that won't require a mask.  He's already made his decision that he is not wearing a mask.

It's an indirect answer.  Instead of financially strapping your family and putting them through the hardshp of an 11-hour drive, contacting lawers, just put on the damn mask.  There's nothing immoral about a mask PER SE, and one commits no sin by complying in order to get medical care.  Sure, it would be a noble thing to endure hardship for a real moral issue, but this is excessive.

Depending of what you need done, there's always Google:  "online eye doctor exam".  There's more and more telemedicine available these days.

I think people need to stop blending political issues with moral ones.

Unless what you're being asked to do is sinful and immoral, there's no sin even in complying with an unjust law.  Let's say a tyrant imposed a 10 MPH speed limit on the highways.  Unjust law.  But there's no sin, if you need to go somewhere, to simply drive under the 10MPH, as there's nothing inherently evil about driving slow.  

Surgeons are required to wear masks in order to operate on patients.  Workers sometimes are required to wear masks (e.g. if they're working with asbestos or something).

Our entire banking system is corrupt and unjust, but unless you go through it, you're not going to be able to buy a house or a car or a lot of other things you may need.

Just give it a rest and get your eyes examined, and then go home and call your local politicians to object, or picket in front of the Dr.'s office against the mask.

I'm vert sorry you were on a ventilator. Unfortunately it doesn't prove that you had something called "Covid 19".

Correct, a ventilator alone doesn't cinch the diagnosis in my or other cases. The diagnosis of my COVID-19, like many diagnoses, follows a pattern, a diagnosis cinched by:

• acute and convalescent antibody titers
cytokine profile
symptom profile, physical, imaging findings,
acute and convalescent clinical course

that in aggregate are quite unlike any "sniffles" or "flu" that I have ever had.

Just as red bumps on your skin are not always "acne," the diagnosis of a rash depends on the pattern, exposure, and time course. Sometimes the red bumps are measles, poison oak, Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever, or Ebola.

Sure, people get fever, cough, and "ground glass" opacities on Chest CT from "flu." Some people even get quadriplegia from post-"flu" Guillain-Barre Syndrome… BUT my quadriplegia was not the "ascending" (toes first then extending upwards) pattern of Guillain-Barre. Who have you ever met who 1-2 years after "flu" continues to have chest pain, severe exertional intolerance, and profound fatigue? Do you personally know of anyone who lost their hearing, taste, and smell, have permanent whole body neuropathy, or lost 70% of lung capillaries from "flu"?

Admittedly there were numerous reports of bogus diagnoses of COVID, e.g., gun-shot wounds with COVID death certificates, "cases" pf papayas with PCR + results.  Admittedly, every faction is vested in which data to believe and disbelieve, BUT COVID exists. Most get well without permanent damage (long term, who knows? Maybe there will be delayed consequences, as Parkinsonism following "Spanish flu."), but millions died and millions more are seriously messed up unlike any "flu."

I have no onus to prove the cause of my illness to you or anyone, but I think you do a disservice with your sweeping generalizations and a greater disservice with your discredited claims ("never isolated"), but you can believe any damn thing you choose.

Lastly, there is the matter of my wager… Talk is cheap.…

I wager that any random FLCCCA member, bar none, has helped more people than you have.
