After watching the entire video I am thrilled you did this as a true journalistic endeavor (uncommon these days). However, I was quite sad to see the number of young adults seemingly understanding nothing about civil liberties and why they should value them--a product of the "news/entertainment/social media culture"" that likely is their major source of news. They seem to understand nothing about critical thinking or relative risk assessment as it relates to their everyday lives. In their age group they are 50-100x more likely to die of other causes than from Covid (even before vaccination was available). And somehow even the health authorities and politicians at the highest level have adopted the claim that the "unvaccinated are of great danger to the vaccinated" which is not remotely supported by science or common sense. BTW I am not antivaccine and not even against mandates in certain situations. However, the science would say that there needs to be allowance for natural immunity as a substitute for mandatory vaccination, and the focus should be on convincing the most at risk groups, age 50 and over and those with underlying health conditions that it is in their interests, and the interests of healthcare workers who might have to care for them, to get vaccinated.

Thank you again for your stepping forward. I fear for the country's future if this kind of group think persists and is widespread.

This is epic. So satisfying to finally see someone with the spine to publicly voice dissent. Kudos to you, MT.
