Responding to the (now entering it's 2nd year) pandemic

This past two years has wrought some tremendous changes to the United States and the rest of the world. Some of these changes are beyond our control and others are, for better or worse things we have to own up to. What I believe to be more important is how a person responds to these events. 

The battle between using one's own common sense versus blindly complying with the latest edicts of the "experts" is played out by everyone. It's a personal decision, one made easy for me because I believe in individual freedom and free will.  Those who believe that the group supersedes the individual have tried shaming people to comply with these edicts. For someone like myself, a natural skeptic of authority, I was reluctant to comply with the constant mask wearing and also did a lot of research about these vaccines. Research that was very difficult because the manufacturers were hiding the ingredients and protecting themselves from being sued for adverse side effects. Which led to still more skepticism on my part. 

If I encounter someone who fervently believes in wearing masks at all times and taking whatever vaccine is being pushed by politicians and the media, then my response is to say "good luck" and go on with my life. That I choose otherwise is in line with my beliefs about personal liberty. I choose to live my life accordingly. Good luck to you all.
