  • anyone else

Specifically, I reject your

  • presumption that I must ignore any & all facts or assertions until they are proven in a court of law

  • presumption that you are entitled to tell me how much risk I should tolerate

  • presumption that you are entitled to tell me how I should manage that risk

  • irrelevant information

  • faux logic

  • concern trolling

  • tone argument

  • presumption that your lived experience is that of everybody everywhere

In closing, I would like to remind you that because they are my decisions and I am the final authority upon them,

  • there is no court of appeal
  • there will be no judicial review
  • a public inquiry will not be called
  • I am done discussing this subject with you

I hope this clarifies for you who it is that makes decisions about my life. Thanks! Have a nice day!
