COVID-19 mitigation czar and mask scold Dr. Anthony Fauci recently bemoaned Americans’ increased reluctance to “adhere” to public health restrictions. Blaming “fatigue,” “political divisiveness,” and “social media misinformation and disinformation,” the good doctor seemed quite upset that Americans no longer readily comply with every policy recommendation coming from his office. Where officials command and citizens comply, however, “expert” opinion smothers personal choice. That is hardly the American way.
