@1970_snj @JohnHundeslit If “I will die on this hill” is to mean anything then it requires a stubborn refusal to change one’s mind even when proven to be incorrect. Some of us have to maintain standards around here.

My eldest (15) is getting called an anti vaxxer by other kids at his school because he’s opted not to have the vaccine (valid choice given he’s had covid and in the age range where myocarditis is a relevant concern). @nadhimzahawi are you happy with this culture you’ve created?
