A lot of talk today about the โ€œfreedom to choose vaccinesโ€ฆโ€

But what about the freedom to send your kids to school and know they wonโ€™t get measles?

What about the freedom to go to the gym and not get COVID?

What about the freedom to live a longer lifespan without the constant threat of disease?
