    In other words, he not only failed to challenge the core of Covid ideology—that other human beings are pathogenic so we need to restrict our freedoms and isolate—but used his social media presence, such as it was, to urge others to accept all the dominant lies by the government. He bought the Covid and lockdown ideology and broadcasted it. He seems to have no regrets.

    The author is a plague rat who thinks libertarianism means being able to harm others with impunity. Don’t waste time on this trash.

      This is a good example of extremes. Is libertarian the side of the coin I want to be on versus authoritarian. Yes. To the extent you let a pandemic run wild. Nope.
