Good for you! I also have not once worn a mask, nor even once taken or given a PCR "test."

That up the nose stick is invasive and a bit painful. Unfortunately I had to close down my stateside business back in January of 2021. This was because of the covid fear. I could not get sold items crated and shipped out, even offering $50 per hour for labor. I traveled from Reunion to Portland OR, this trip took 66 hours. Of course I had to have the stick up the nose. Stayed for a month in a crowded Extended Stay hotel and sold off all of my inventory and fixtures. Stick up the nose a few times on the return trip, and decided never again.

I also do not like the hydrogel tip nor the friable fibers at the end, which may be left behind in the nasal membranes. I tell my patients that if they find themselves compelled to test for some reason, then spit on the swab instead. But much better to refuse to comply with such testing.

From memory: A British dentist obtained three test sets (5 in each) directly from the NHS supplies, and had them lab tested. All the swabs (15) were contaminated.
