Telling your story helped me have a better opinion of you than before. What an important life. People like you are the ones who keep this country reasonably safe and sane.

Your only flaw - believing all the crap about COVID, how wonder full the shots are, vilifying Kennedy. Blood-letting went on for centuries, lobotomies lasted for 70 years, and dangerous vaccines lasted for a hundred years or so.

Sorry to hear I disappointed you by getting vaccinated. Nobody is perfect. I have taken 6 Covid vaccines and boosters. Rarely wore a mask. When I was surrounded ten years ago with people with severe symptoms I contracted COVID. I had a low fever for two hrs. A small headache for another hour, some sniffles and that was it. I'm 74 and have two dangerous pre existing conditions. For the moment I will go with 100 years of science instead of RFK's quackery.

So now vaccinations are on the level of blood-letting and lobotomies. Your calm reply is admirable. Your story and life even more so.

Your first-hand experience with that hate-filled Argentinian antecedent to Trump, Homan, and Hoem's ICE of today is breathtaking and terribly cogent, Marc. I've shared it all in a heartbeat of finishing it and taking a few heartbeats to digest its disgusting similarity to today's goon squads.

Neither Congress or SCOTUS or anything gives me hope for our return to law and the Constitution before we see innocent blood spilled in city after city.

The inevitability of it all - and the national mood - are combining to make your scoop what I feel it is for the USA - a suicide note for America.
