The purpose of this book is to briefly examine key moments of the COVID pandemic that forced intense, life-altering decisions. It discusses how American citizens navigated murky waters, suffering and persevering amid setbacks and devastation. The reader will receive highlights and perspectives on how division over coerced health choices almost tore families, communities, and society at large, in pieces. At the core, this book delves into the impact of mandated personal health decisions on the masses. It addresses how media messaging can work to bring harmony or conspire to create unproductive feuding. The question to ask is, "Were the measures solely instituted for the safety of the public or was this practice (a test run) for another agenda?". Motives must be unveiled for the American people to trust the plans implemented in the name of their health and well-being. It has been proven that mandates and coerced compliance accompany consequences with lasting impact.
