The Necessity of Courage

Dear Editor,

Gary and Bette Collins letter shows how the fear of COVID 19 has dominated everything. There is no free debate or discussion on the topic. Information and debate is being censored and shut down.

The level of authoritarianism is severe. The only person allowed to contradict the COVID dogma is Dr. Fauci himself and he often does so without the data and on conjecture. Everything else gets censored. Fear, not logic, monopolizes the entire discussion of COVID.

No virus can live under ultraviolet light which the sun provides much. Yet, I see all sorts of people of various ages and backgrounds wearing masks, outdoors on a bright sunny day. Why? People are getting vaccinated but continue to wear a mask, which is absurd.  To many, fear is more important than thinking. But to me, the fear is worse than the disease.

The masks and vaccines will not get us back to normal as the fear mongering continues. Only courage will, and right now, it is a rare commodity. We need the courage to live.

Regards,

Andrew L Sullivan
