Andrew‘s refusal to vaccinate before Tokyo caused quite the uproar in the swimming community. The reaction got me thinking about political bias - on both sides of the aisle - and how both the left and right need to think clearly and without bias regarding issues of national prominence.

I believe it is a lack of motivation and desire, not education, that keeps us from attaining the best version of ourselves. You can read the full article here.
