of 4-8 friends who are decidedly "Conservative", with me being essentially the lone "Liberal" ;-)...as the time frame indicates, we are GOOD friends and value each others opinions. As someone who has voted for Reagan (2x), H.W. Bush and G.W. Bush (2x), and read Friedrich Hayek's "The Road to Serfdom" I can recognize Conservatism all by myself...so just stop with your "seminar".
The issue here is vaccination...with all that's been published thus far...how do you manage to deny the value of vaccination?...btw, each and every one of my friends is vaccinated and boosted (couldn't get it fast enough)...they wear masks in every indoor setting that might have non-vaccinated people in it...without hesitation or discomfort...oh, and every one of them has an advanced technical degree (Masters or PhD)...they know how to make good decisions.
What do you know that every health agency on earth doesn't?
