We are in desperate need of more courage from ordinary people.

An individual will for the foreseeable future, and as sure as the day is long, be denied access to a Delta flight, entry to Walmart to shop for groceries, or attendance at a Taylor Swift concert if they do not wear a mask—and probably also if they can’t prove they’ve been vaccinated. Anything controlled by woke corporations, whose reach has only increased over the years (and has accelerated since the pandemic crushed thousands and thousands of small businesses), will be paired with such slavish, ineffective, and performative “public health” protocols as a basic condition of access.
