As Patrick Powers alluded to earlier, how about instead of “anti” vaxers, we go with a less negative, more accurate descriptor.

How about,

proven safe and effective vaccine proponents

Or, pro precautionary principle people.

Daniel Elsberg.

What a courageous defender, and teacher.

I wonder, will there be a new generation of heroes, to replace the old guard, which is leaving us one by one.

How about pro-public health people? That skirts the libertarian individualism at the core of a lot of your fellow proponents.

I would describe myself as pro precautionary principle, and pro health.

I prefer not to subscribe to any “people”, public health, or otherwise.

I think it’s almost akin to belonging to a political party.

No thank you.

But, I prefer being pro something, instead of anti something.

I’m pro abolition of slavery, and democrats, and republicans.

Doesn’t that seem more cheerful????

Happy Father’s Day, Bill.

I’m pro Ellsberg.

How about you?

Yes, he was a personal hero and role model (I too am a whistleblower). Here's my tribute (I obviously can't write like Caitlin!)

By the blood sacrifice necessary to deliver a new generation to earth our species will continue to magnify the process of Creation. Pretty clever system if you ask me🤗
