Hi Charles. Apologies and thanks for taking the time to respond fully here.
I'm also at that age where time moves faster but I move slower, so I'll just respond to one part of your comment and then, totally up to whether it's worth your time commitment.
Two things. 1) The main problem I and many people like me had with CV19 vaccine policies and mandates were they were based on a one-sized-fits-all approach to medicine, which is a gross oversimplification of human biology and runs against the face of so much of what we've learned about health and medicine. Thus, mandating college students to get a vaccine that, statistically speaking had more risk than it did for others (especially for young men), and protected against a disease that, statistically speaking was a much lower threat to that demographic, well, that's just poor public health policy.
2) The problem is, the WHO is now considering codifying these sorts of mandates into its bylaws, which would then require member states to follow the WHO. And what is the WHO? An un-elected body. How can citizens combat these sorts of policies? Clearly, this is a step towards a form of global authoritarianism, one which is based on the notion of "protecting us" or "keeping us safe."
I see this as the huge Shadow for people on the secular Left---it's a part of the Smothering Mother archyetpe, which I wrote about here.
