"In 2020s Covid, like the Great Depression, most Americans passively followed what the govt told them to do. The increasing resistance to these totalitarian policies are viewed by those in power as “extremists” not willing to “follow the science.”

"Every future declared health crisis can become a new rationale to impose lockdowns, order everyone to wear a mask and stay “x” number of feet away from those around you, command people to stop working and stay at home, & mandate vaccinations"

"We are running headlong in the direction of a far more comprehensive paternalistic state, & farther away from a world in which government would basically leave us alone in our peaceful & voluntary actions and activities with our fellow human beings"

"If current trends continue in the present direction for too long, the potential & possibility for liberty may be irreparably lost. We need to remember & forewarn others that liberty is far easier to lose than to be successfully regained once lost"

"Human action was going to teach us about the behavior assoc. w/ good health outcomes, while lockdowns based on limited info were going to blind us.

All of this must be considered in light of all the vitriol being directed toward the unvaccinated"

"Supposedly they [the unvaccinated] are selfish for not helping others by getting the shot. Aren’t we all in this together? Actually, we’re not. America is not a collective..."

"...rather it’s a collection of people who largely descend from individuals who risked everything in order to get away from collectives. If the unvaccinated worry the vaccinated, or the ill, the vaccinated and ill shouldn’t force their fear..."
