The United States leads the nations of the world in new COVID cases. One and a half million Americans have become infected in the last month. This is inexcusable, and should rightly be a source of deep national shame.
Selfishness is not freedom. Isolation is not freedom. Ignorance is not freedom. Fiction is not freedom. Lying is not freedom. Irresponsibility is not freedom. Recklessness is not freedom. Endangering others is not freedom. Disdain for or apathy about public health and welfare is not freedom. Denying collective obligation is not freedom.
Justifying any or all of these falsehoods in the name of “freedom” is immoral and unethical, and is itself a perversion and violation of actual freedom.
Closed minds and hard hearts are not free.
