Commentary 1) Vaccines do next to nothing to curb Omicron transmission Remember in the good old altruistic days, vaccines were not primarily for self-protection, but for the safety of others? “Your actions have consequences for other people’s health,” was the undefeatable argument.

Comedy, Tragedy, or Both?

The Feudal Symbolism of Restaurant Closures
