Summary

We are obsessed with watching television shows and feature films about lawyers, reading legal thrillers, and following real-life trials. Yet, at the same time, most of us don't trust lawyers and hold them and the legal system in very low esteem.  In The Myth of Moral Justice, law professor and novelist Thane Rosenbaum suggests that this paradox stems from the fact that citizens and the courts are at odds when it comes to their definitions of justice. With a lawyer's expertise and a novelist's sensability, Rosenbaum tackles complicated philosophical questions about our longing for moral justice. He also takes a critical look at what our legal system does to the spirits of those who must come before the law, along with those who practice within it.

    Mandatory vaccines are nothing new, we all had to line up for polio shots, MMR shots, and a host of other vaccines before we were allowed to go to school, and with good reason. However, the Mandatory COVID shots and boosters do not fit into this category. They were not properly vetted, and we are now seeing many cases where they did more harm than good. 
Viruses are living things that mutate and evolve by the hour, so the perfect vaccine to stop any virus is not even remotely possible. A bacteria can be stopped with an anti-biotic, but viruses need to simply run their course. Vaccines to not kill viruses, they introduce a weakened form of it to prepare the body's immune system to fight the pathogen should I ever enter the body. 
Ultimately, it is your own immune system that will stop COVID, and not any variant vaccine. If the individual's immune system is compromised, the vaccine can actually do more harm that good. 
Learn how the body responds to all bacteria and viruses, and how to prepare your self for any pathogen, and build stronger health in the process. The body hasn't changed much in the last 10,000 years, learn the basics and you may never get sick again.
