Anti-vaxxers, you don’t have the freedom to kill me

Stephen H. Provost

Hey, anti-vaxxers, since you’re all about freedom, try this on for size: Try spending your life with chronic bronchitis, recurring asthma, and occasional bouts of pneumonia? Imagine for just a moment that the chance you’ll die by drowning in your own body fluids is a good deal higher than it is for most people. How’s that for freedom?

Andrew Wiggins deserves the NBA's version of this award

Stephen H. Provost

If Trump doesn't care about our health, why should we care about his?

Stephen H. Provost

Why should I care about someone who doesn’t care about his fellow human beings? Or only cares about the service some of them perform by licking his filthy, blood-stained boots? Why should I care about the health of someone who doesn’t care about mine? About 7 million-plus people in this country who’ve contracted this “plague,” as you call it? Or even about your own followers, whom you’ve guilt-tripped and ridiculed if they dare to wear masks in your holy presence?
