I confess I had no idea you were planning on addressing the nation last night to announce your intentions regarding the Covid pandemic. So it came as something of a surprise to me as I was channel surfing to stumble upon your address. I caught it just as you said: "Fourthly, in the coming weeks we will issue further guidance on what you can and cannot do once vaccinated to lessen confusion ..."
Excuse me? You're going to issue guidance on what I can and cannot do? I guess I need to remind you, Sir, that I am an American citizen, born free of constraints put on me by an overbearing government apparatus. It was the casual indifference with which you spoke those words that most shocked me, as if in your mind of course I will obey your commands, no questions asked, just do as I am told. So please allow me to be specific: I will NOT obey commands issued by you or any other government official telling me what I can or cannot do after I get a vaccination, which I have no intention of getting in the first place. I will defy you at every turn, as is my right as a free human being, as is the American legacy handed down to me by countless generations that came before me. Make no mistake, I will peacefully practice civil disobedience. I'm sure you are counting on the majority of us to bow in obeisance to your authority (in which you are probably correct, much to my dismay), and for those of us who defy your commands you are relying on law enforcement to become a new American gestapo (in which you are also probably correct). But I, Mr. Biden, was born free and I will die free or go down under the onslaught from you and your fellow statists' tactics. There are no circumstances under which I will recognize your right or authority to tell me what I "can and cannot do."
