It’s possible that by the end of this year, the world will be divided into two camps: those who have gotten the required doses of the COVID-19 vaccine and those who haven’t. For those who have been vaccinated, life will pretty much have returned to normal, although there’s talk in government circles of maintaining mask mandates and social distancing policies.
Those who haven’t been vaccinated will be denied entry to all kinds of events, many countries, and possibly even employment at some companies. Those who’ve had their shots will receive a “green passport” that will allow them freedoms that those who haven’t been vaccinated will not have.

As we approach the one-year anniversary of the coronavirus lockdowns, American society is at a crossroads. For almost the entire time it has taken for the planet to revolve around the sun, most Americans have been living under crushing and unprecedented restrictions. Well, they aren’t unprecedented anymore, and that is a fact that we and our progeny will need to struggle with.
During these 12 months, Americans have been told they cannot run their businesses, they cannot go to church, they cannot gather with their families, they cannot attend cultural events, their children can’t be educated in schools, and they cannot go outside without masks. To make matters worse, in most states these restrictions on basic life were not produced through a normal legislative or political process but by emergency powers granted to dictatorial governors.
To put it bluntly, huge swaths of our citizenry have lived through these months in a country that does not resemble America, at least not any iteration of it we have previously known. In too many places like New York and California, we have accepted deprivation from our government not because the data show it works — the data don’t show that — but more from a sense of moral obligation. Shutting up and obeying, you see, is what a good and caring person does. --->READ MORE HEREFollow links below to related stories and resources:
