"To my knowledge, I am the first Soldier in the world to make a public stand refusing compulsory masking," writes Dr. Philip Buckler, a dentist in the US Army holding the rank of Major. ••「 CALL IN & LINKS: https://drdrew.com/5142024 」•• Drawing on extensive research from Dr. Paul E. Alexander, Dr. Buckler published his findings about the ineffectiveness of masks for a respiratory pandemic in "The Book on Masks". In January 2022, Buckler informed his commanding officer in the US Army that he would "cease wearing a mask and refuse all orders to wear one" due to sincerely-held religious beliefs – specifically that by wearing a mask for COVID-19 that he knew could not prevent infection, he would be violating the Commandment against lying and complicit in a "performative religion" of Public Health. Dr. Paul E. Alexander holds a PhD and has graduate level training in epidemiology and work experience in epidemiology, teaching of clinical epidemiology, evidence-based medicine, and research methodology. He is a former Assistant Professor at McMaster University (Hamilton, Canada) in evidence-based medicine and research methods; former COVID Pandemic evidence-synthesis consultant advisor to WHO Geneva-PAHO Washington, DC (2020) and former senior advisor to COVID Pandemic policy in Health and Human Services.
