The Final Word

I dared buck the system
I dared defy the status quo
I declined medical tratment

I would treat it
I would cure it
I would inoculate myself and others 
I would erase it from the world

I would have the final word

This can be a rough virus -- the wife and I had Sars some thirty years ago, and never before had been so ill. Took a year afterwards to feel physically at my peak again. So, I am not down playing the effects. But, having said that, we are both well into our senior years, and did not wear masks through all this -- have gone out and met with people (no masks, etc.). Thought we were protected...and apparently are. Our way we feel is best for society. Criminal to mask children. Bulsht.
