Let’s visit the term “public health” for a moment.<\/p>\n

The way I understand the term, it refers to the health and well-being of an entire community, a city, state, nation. That means everyone, as in the public!<\/em><\/p>\n

Thus, when a government entity issues an order that seeks to protect the public’s health, I harbor no reticence about following that order. It means that those who represent us are trying to protect us. As in you and me.<\/p>\n

I keep hearing this mantra about “personal choice” regarding whether we should be required to wear masks outside of our home. The woman formerly known as Bruce Jenner spoke to that issue this morning on “The View.” Jenner said it is her “choice” to wear a mask, or to maintain social distance, or to get a vaccine against the COVID-19 virus.<\/p>\n

Umm. No. It isn’t just an individual’s choice. Not when the illness that the individual might contract affects others around them. Thus, the public’s health becomes paramount in this discussion.<\/p>\n

President Biden is issuing orders left and right to businesses, to those who work for the federal government and others. He wants them to mask up. He requires them to get vaccinated against a virus that is still killing Americans daily.<\/p>\n

I am going to stand with those who want to protect me against a virus that could kill me. Is it any sweat off my back to mask up? Hell no! It isn’t!<\/p>\n

As for the vaccine. I intend to line up as soon as possible to get the booster the feds have approved.<\/p>\n
