Definitely a wonderful essay which inspires readers to think. My husband, our 30 yo son, his wife and our 15mo old completely unvaccinated granddaughter just returned from a 10 day Alaskan cruise. I can confirm that our granddaughter was the life of the boat. She bounced from person to person under the watchful eye of either her parent or grandparent close behind. She is saying "HI!!!" to everyone, smiling and dancing in her awkward toddler way. She was such a joy! All the crew knew her name as did several hundred of the passengers who were strangers prior. She was enthralled with the sights and sounds. She even got brought up on stage to dance with one of the bands. The crowds went wild with applause! Everyone we passed stopped to talk to her in her stroller, or on our laps or in our arms as we carried her. There is still joy in pockets of humanity. We unvaccinated will NEVER let that go.

Men now hesitate to approach women due to “harassment”, “male toxicity”, the after effects of social distancing. No longer can you have a conversation without minefields. Relationships have just become too hard. Online sex is so much easier. Having a family, children, is no longer so desirable. I see this everywhere. I think the young especially, have lost the ability to skillfully interact with the opposite sex.
