Delighted to read that you are approaching the beginning of life as a vaccinated person. Very positive to see so many completing the process :)
A caveat about the the econlib.org link/website, better known as the Library of Economics and Liberty. It is funded by a libertarian and hard-right organization, the Liberty Fund. I share this because I think it is always important to always consider the motivation behind published positions such as those proposed by The Library of Economics and Liberty in this article.
The following from Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liberty_Fund:
In his book The Assault on Reason, former U.S. Vice President and presidential candidate Al Gore wrote that between 2002 and 2004, 97% of the attendees at Liberty Fund training seminars for judges were Republican administration appointees. Gore suggests that such conferences and seminars are one of the reasons that judges who regularly attend such conferences "are generally responsible for writing the most radical pro-corporate, antienvironmental, and activist decisions". Referring to what he calls the "Big Three"—the Foundation for Research on Economics and the Environment, George Mason University's Law & Economics Center, and the Liberty Fund—Gore adds, "These groups are not providing unbiased judicial education. They are giving multithousand-dollar vacations to federal judges to promote their radical right-wing agenda at the expense of the public interest
Good for you, JOhn. Cheers, BT
