Ever hear the saying that all news is local? It really is.
Apparently there's a deranged individual in Amsterdam, New York, who is an ophthalmologist with a serious case of the Trumpies. David Kwiat has now been sued by the New York Department of Labor for allegedly firing a whistle-blower employee who reported his office for COVID violations. The guy really, really doesn't like it when people wear masks.
In fact, he believes that COVID is pretty much a hoax, with a very low death rate, and he also threatened to fire any employee who even dared to get a PCR test. Betcha Dr. Kwiat's office isn't going to land on any "best places to work" lists anytime soon!
But what really blew us away was that this isn't the bad Dr. Kwiat's first blowup about masking. In December, he walked into our local butcher shop — yes, our shop, we kid you not — without a mask, and demanded to be sold a steak. The manager said he needed to mask up to be waited on. (The Empire State's mandate was in effect at the time.) Dr. Kwiat got, shall we say, noisy, and stormed out. And then he sued the shop for $250,000. (He dropped the suit a couple of weeks ago.)
David Kwiat sounds like the wackiest eye doctor this side of Rand Paul. Meanwhile, we'd like to report that that corned-beef-and-cabbage dinner we bought from that very butcher the other day was yummy. We cats hope that New York State takes a big bite out of Kwiat's bank account, and we PURR.
