I have a favorite T-shirt that says, “Yeah, well, that’s just, like, your opinion, man.”It’s drawn from one of my favorite movies, “The Big Lebowski.” If you’ve never seen it, you’re severely deprived.

I attended an event recently where I found myself sitting next to someone in my extended family. For some reason she began talking about the COVID-19 vaccine and how we were told it would prevent anyone from getting the disease, proof that once again our government was lying to us and we can’t trust anything they say. I don’t remember it that way. I politely pointed out that the vaccine was designed to make it less likely we would get COVID and that if we did, it would be less severe.
