That was the realization that woke me up back in the day when I was exercising my privilege to indulge without consequences. I woke up one day with the very clear thought that my actions were a subconscious desire to escape. Changed my life and have lived another 30 years in health and wealth, so far.

But the key question here is whether failing to properly protect yourself from a virus is at all the same thing as wanting to die.

It isn’t.

Grand contracted COVID from unvaxxed family that attends her school.
