Why So Hesitant?

The same people who told you ...

Brexit would never happen,

that Trump would never win,

that when he did win it was because of Russian collusion but also because of racism,

that you must follow lockdowns while they donât,

that masks donât work,

that masks do work,

that social justice protests during pandemic lockdowns are a form of âhealth intervention,â

that ransacking African American communities in the name of fighting racism is a âmostly peacefulâ form of protest,

that poor and underserved children locked out of shuttered schools are âstill learning,â

that Jussie Smollett was a victim of a hate crime,

that men are toxic,

that there is an infinite number of genders,

that COVID couldnât have come from a lab

until maybe it did,

that closing borders is racist

until maybe it isnât,

that you shouldnât take Trumpâs vaccine,

that you must take the vaccine developed during the Trump administration,

that Andrew Cuomo is a great leader,

that Andrew Cuomo is a granny killer,

that the number of COVID deaths is one thing and then another

... are the same people telling you now that the vaccine is safe, that you must take it, and that if you donât, you will be a second-class citizen.
