Maybe I am Wrong

But my gut tells me otherwise. Still, my opinion is changeable in light of factual evidence.

Everyone has opinions. Some are based in experience and fact, while others are based in presumption and fiction.

If you believe in the necessity of the precautions Dr. Fauci, other scientists and health professionals recommend — that’s fact and experience. And if you believe that it’s all a Democratic lie to make Trump look bad — that’s presumption and fiction.

Opinions are like assholes — everybody has one, and many stink. Trouble is, for too long people have been told “you are entitled to your opinion.”

Ok, to be fair you can form an opinion on anything. But when fact and evidence can disprove your opinion, you’re not entitled to cling to it like a lifeline over the edge of a cliff.

That’s how we are where we are today in the United States. The entitled and their uninformed opinions on COVID-19 — and leadership unwilling to refute and even encouraging them — are sickening and killing tens of thousands needlessly. Math and science are proof positive of the facts on this serious virus — but for some, that is less persuasive than their belief and opinion.

I form opinions. It’s human nature. Some I will cling to because of my experience…
