"Take two of these and call me in the morning." A classic doctor's line that we've all jokingly said in jest at one point or another.

The COVID lockdowns have been one of the most divisive aspects of the COVID-19 pandemic, with many libertarians (like yours truly) raising the alarm to the threat of unintended consequences in blindly following the government's approved list of experts.

Gregg Mele decided that enough was enough, and announced that he w...
