To The Daily Sun,
I find Ben Shapiro’s editorial harmful to public health. Why is this being published?
He is suggesting there should be no panic because of the ongoing status of concern as the experts continue to learn about a new and evolving virus.
The U.S. can learn from the experience of H1N1. The virus was stopped in its tracks because precautions were taken at the beginning.
Now the world has learned that promoting disbelief, not mandating vaccinations and lockdowns and wearing masks will allow a future virus to continue to evolve and become more deadly and harder to contain.
And Ben Shapiro and his calling for ignorance is what makes this happen.
And people are dying.

I call it "freedumb" when people think their rights include actions that can endanger others. We have speed limits. You have to get licensed before driving. You have to insure your license before driving. We have stop signs and traffic lights. Only the far-right Kool-Aid Gang thinks they infringe on their liberties. We have childhood vaccination mandates. A passport is required to travel the world. Smoking is banned in restaurants. The list of reasonable standards aimed at keeping the public safe is long.
I've seen the "personal freedom" argument from more than a few people - that what happens to their body is their business. However, if your decision robs me of the freedom to make my own decisions.... well, it wasn't really a personal choice, was it? The sad thing is, these people obviously don't even understand science but they continue to spread misinformation, anyway! Wanted to laugh & cry when someone said, once again, that if we are vaccinated we shouldn't care if anyone else is! As if we are now immune & those that aren't able to get vaccinated yet have nothing to worry about!?! So far from reality that it's hard to even have a conversation....
