I am not particularly averse to vaccines. I am however, adamantly opposed to force or coercion of any kind, especially when foisted upon us by those who should represent rather than rule. Defiant? You bet! Foolish? Perhaps, but unlikely, and most importantly I decide which chances I take. I implore all sovereign citizens; reserve your right to do the same.

A lifetime of not catching most of whatever is “going around” concurrent with typically mild symptoms the few times I have, provides information I employ to make decisions about my health. I have never in memory presented to a medical entity with, or sought medical treatment for a cold or flu. So what to do? As to getting the jab, I decided to wait. Bear in mind I have one serious comorbidity; heart disease, which required triple bypass surgery in month two of the great Gung Fu Flu lockdown. Healing from open heart surgery presents some challenges because getting to the heart is intensely invasive and it is just now, 15 months after the fact, that my thoracic cavity feels well healed. Intuition implored me to focus on physical rehab from the invasion, as well as mental adjustment to the aftermath of procedures performed on my person. The feedback loop of my cardio vascular mechanism is markedly different now, and it “talks to me” more distinctly as to it’s efficacy in any given moment. Plus, it has taken all of this time for intercostal pain to subside. Being sore is the result of inflammation, and one doesn’t need to be a doctor to know inflamed tissue is a place for bad things to happen. Also, as an actualized human being who respects my relationships with others, I made a commitment (Expressed Love) to my cardiac team to take care of their work because it has value. Love is that which provides the capacity for success in all things; they did. Bottom line? For myriad reasons I decided to not submit to external pressures relative to a respiratory bug vaccine and it’s potential side effects.

Now that I am confident about being well healed internally from a major medical procedure, I have reached out to my cardiologist to garner more information about vaccination. She and her team, having crawled around in my fore mentioned thoracic cavity, are my experts. It is her expert opinion variant strains do present more danger to the heart itself, and potential side effects are not a danger given my case, thus she recommends I get vaccinated.

Common sense compels me to continually to assess risk in all areas of existence. One does not have to be an “expert” to apply reason in absence of panic to make informed decisions.

In this instance my process of weighing factors includes only the possibility of sickness, suffering and death; mine – not yours’ by the way – nor will I include opinions of so called and oft times worshipped celebrity “experts” the masses enlist to rule their lives. I am fully prepared, in absence of vaccination, to endure the restrictions, castigation and inequities the unvaccinated will likely incur moving forward as it appears our culture has abdicated a primary tenet of American life; an individual’s freedom to make informed decisions about one’s existence in absence of force or coercion from others.

Ideally, I will make all decisions based on my capacity to reason given information at my disposal.

Fear can be a debilitating, destructive force which often thwarts a healthy desire to live fully.
