Thank you, Darren. I appreciate your response. I do not use mainstream media for my common-sense approach to all things COVID, nor do I use the extremist Right. I am not against natural "treatments"--don't get me wrong. I, myself, purchased HCQ tablets, just in case. I also stocked up on vitamin D, Zinc, vitamin C, and many more herbal remedies. I believe they should be available for anyone to use (and they are). My point is that prevention is always better than getting sick and then trying to "cure" the disease. I don't believe that anyone should be forced to get a vaccine. Then, too, I detest all the bullying of we who wish to wear our masks and get vaccinated. Many are against vaccines solely because they hate the government. Is that a fact? I'm for a moderate, sensible approach. Sadly, in today's society, most are practicing "reactance", being extremist in their views.

Prof. B: I am astounded by my own ignorance on the subject of flu vaccines. Since the vaccine cures 50% of all illness, what do we have to worry about?! To quote one of my favorite pundits, Pogo. “We have met the enemy, and he is us.”

Here we go again. You are against vaccines; you are against masks. I think you've worn out this subject. You people can just go stock up on Ivermectin at your local farm supply store. I will be safe (via masks, social distancing, vaccines, and whatever other common-sense method I deem appropriate). I used to like your articles; however, with 2020, you, along with so many others on the right, shifted to the extreme.
