  1. There was an article in the New York Times a few days ago about the Delta variant. Someone wrote a comment about how destroying ourselves and destroying the earth didn't make sense and something about more than one jabs and another jab. It was difficult to determine what he meant other than not liking masking or vaccines. Later on it was clarified, the individual was against both. He would not get vaccinated and was unwilling to wear a mask. My position on this is that if you are willing to remove yourself from society, you can refuse to get vaccinated and/or mask up. If you're willing to take the risk yourself and you do not put anyone else at risk then you do indeed have the freedom to decide. But you would have to remove yourself from society for the duration and If you did get sick, forego care or pay for it yourself. If you decide to not remove yourself and go into public unvaccinated and unmasked and then cause someone else to get sick, there is an argument for depraved indifference charges. In this situation it must be proven not that the individual intended to cause harm, but that he did not care if he did. There is no affirmative intent to cause harm, but instead an absence of care with the knowledge that the absence can have deadly consequences. If you are unvaccinated among others, there is a good chance you will encounter people with diminished immune systems. You don't intend to make them sick but you don't care if you do. In our political climate charges of this nature would probably not be brought, but they should be.

  2. I wonder if his slowness of speech and sluggish thinking are residual effects of covid. He uses the word "like" a lot and does not inspire confidence. It's worth remembering that chiropractors are not medical doctors. This is not to say that they don't have something useful to offer nor is it to suggest that there aren't plenty of medical doctors who practice medicine poorly, but it is worth bearing in mind.
