I appreciate that you spent time responding to my question and the compliment on the writing in my article.

I assure you my post was written from a place of integrity and not from a place of manipulation; I can't control whether you trust that or not.

I also am not going to accept responsibility for whether "the hearts of other people" are full of anger, jealousy or hatred, just as I never asked you to be responsible for my feelings. Not sure where you got that idea from. You're talking to ME here, and me alone.

And if we want to go into more of a head-based, logical discussion, I don't accept your ethical framework---I believe a truly strong group is made up of strong individuals and it's not an either/or proposition as your comment seems to suggest.

Also, just returning to the discussion about CV19, we knew well before any vaccines were rolled out that it wasn't a disease that threatened the survival of the species so I'm not sure why you're conflating a decision to not get vaccinated as being related to threatening the survival of the species. Even the most dire reading of the stats regarding mortality rates from CV19 doesn't suggest such fears as being warranted.

Thus, I'm unconvinced that your position is as logical as you think it is, which is what I spent some time pointing out some of what I saw as flawed statistics you were quoting in my first response to you.
