Here is my best guidance, rendered beautifully by the great John Lithgow. I first published these lessons nearly nine years ago, in late 2016. They open the twenty chapters of "On Tyranny: Twenty Lessons from the Twentieth Century."

People changing their mind and speaking out on the horrors of Gaza is a good thing. But if a person “changing their mind” is in power, and they do not subsequently use that power in accordance with the seriousness of the new conclusion they have arrived at, then that’s a problem.

THIS is what I don’t understand!! Healthcare workers are supposed to CARE, aren’t they!? I always thought that’s why you get into the profession in the first place. Seems like a basic courtesy.
My ask of healthcare workers who refuse to mask is this …
Why does masking bother you so much?
Why are you so quick to judge patients who are trying to protect themselves?
Why don’t you want to protect yourself and your patients?
