The NYT recently had a story about the misinformation spread by the government at the top on the virus so we will do what they feel is best for us. A free market of ideas even ones we think ridiculous is best for democracy as it helps to develop critical thinking skills. If we have to rely on censors to think for us we are close to 1984.

Have you actually read Orwell’s
1984 ?
The reason I am asking is that invoking Orwell seems to be a thing now — but I don’t think those who like to throw his
1984 around can possibly have read the book because they have it bass akwards. But that’s a conversation for another time.
For now. . .blaming “news” about the border and about China will not solve the problem that is staring us square in the face. We need to deal with what we can.
Most of the vaccine-deniers are two-legged incubators, walking among us, babbling about their “freedom,” — while they are really just a bunch of freeloaders riding on those of us who have taken responsibility for doing what we can to wage war against the virus.
