to recommend social distancing / masks, etc. I am no mask truther or one who demands social distancing. I do NOT support another shutdown but support the right of private business to make decisions to protect the bottomline / jobs as long as it's ethical. Surely, you agree with that. Who cares if private businesses require masks? You don't have to give them your business.

As for vaccines, I said numerous times that I'm extremely cautious of government mandates. I don't have an issue if you have problems with government mandates. Criticize away. That's a fair concern.

You have to be more clear. Just say I don't have a problem with the vaccine but have a problem with government mandates and believe we overreacted a bit with the full economic shut down ... or at least the duration. How hard is that to say?

I think we can all be rational and not be extreme on either side. However, you don't come off that way. You come off selfish and as if virus isn't dangerous whatsoever. You can say we overreacted but still acknowledge the efficacy of the vaccine AND the virus can be deadly and contagious.
