Liberties at risk: 1.Right to refuse medicine (a vaccine) 2.Right to not wear protective clothing (a mask) 3.Right to free movement 4.Right to not supply medical records to third parties (vaccine passport or immunity documentation) 5.Right of a parent to decide was is medically best for their children 6.Right of a business to decide who is allowed to be its customer (masks upon entry) 7.Freedom of association (can’t be within 6 feet of someone else)
Additionally, any society who willingly relinquishes fundamental rights unwittingly also demonstrates to tyrants that they are willing to give up other rights in the future. Instead of rights being something that can never be stripped away, rights instead become something that the government can take away without an issue as long as they have a pretense for doing so. And they will always find a pretense.

While the media headlines how many Covid-19 (assigned) US deaths there are, which is meaningless as regard who well the country is doing compared with others, I counted 90 other countries being ahead of the US in case fatalities (https://coronavirus.jhu.edu/data/mortality Toggle case fatality column). Numbering added.

He predicts all restrictions will be unjustifiable by this Summer. Maybe sooner.
Falsehoods repeated daily become no more true with each iteration than they were before.
