Unprincipled power is blind in the matter of its own overreach. It too often exposes our country to the sins of excess, and can even threaten ethical life and take away rights, such as the right to informed consent. There are people of goodwill who want the views of dissenting scientific experts to get a fair public hearing, but they are ridiculed or met with contempt. The Covid lockdowns, and all our time spent in isolation, has given each of us a fertile opportunity to examine what sort of people we are, and what sort of country this has become. But just look around the world. Vaccine hesitancy is common in other countries, and protest has its roots in a reaction against government edicts.
