| Bravo. To the freedom-crying anti-vaxxers (like the guy in the subway shouting "1776! 1776!" at an elderly woman wearing a mask, as well as to the subject of these posts) I'd ask," So you're OK with speeding through a red light because it infringes on your freedom? What's the difference?" Freedom doesn't supersede the social contract without which we cannot survive. | |

| Earlier today I also read a forest fire related analogy that I thought was interesting. Not getting vaccinated is like leaving a burning ember. One might think that it won't be a big deal because the wind is blowing away from the forest. But the wind shifts and devastation we can't control follows. With Covid, that shifting wind is what brought Delta, and what will bring Lambda. Osnes and her band of Satans are fueling the fire and as we have sadly learned from the fires, we can't fool mother nature. To those who say let's move on and let this "kind" woman have her greed. We can't: this is existential; if she gets her way, we lose the theatre. |

| for anti-vaxxers and anti-maskers when they bring up the freedom argument: "You cannot just say, ‘I have the right to do x, y, and z,’ when you affect other people. That is when it gets serious. It’s like, no different than a traffic light. They put the traffic light in the intersection so someone doesn’t kill someone else by accident. You cannot say, ‘No one is going to tell me that I’m going to stop here, I’m going to go right through it.’ Yeah, then you kill someone else,” he said. “It is the same thing with the virus. You cannot go and not put the mask on because when you breathe you can infect someone else, and you can infect someone that then gets sick and may die.” |
