By Marilyn M. Singleton, MD, JD – https://marilynsingletonmdjd.com/ Driving across our country makes one appreciate this glorious and (dare I say) exceptional country. The diverse landscapes are a feast for the eyes. Food for the soul is the affirmation that most Americans love their families, treasure America, and enjoy their fellow Americans whether they be […]
By Marilyn M. Singleton, MD, JD – https://marilynsingletonmdjd.com/ I knew we were turning the corner on Covidmania when I walked by two little girls, one black, one white, playing on their front lawn. They had cheerful, mask-free glowing smiles. They proudly showed me the twisty little creatures they made with pipe cleaners. What a welcomed […]
By Marilyn M. Singleton, MD, JD – https://marilynsingletonmdjd.com/ By now, Dr. Fauci’s Covid “fearspeak” has become background noise.

By Marilyn M. Singleton, MD, JD – https://marilynsingletonmdjd.com/ Covid, Covid, Covid. Variant, variant, variant. Trust me, I’m the government’s highest paid employee, and “I represent science.” Show your papers, wear a mask, take a shot or lose your job.

Singleton, MD, JD https://marilynsingletonmdjd.com/ The British social hierarchy of the Middle Ages and beyond was divided into “three estates of the realm”: the king, the clergy, and the commoners. More modern times brought the fourth estate, the non-establishment, independent journalists. Our founders knew that for a successful democratic republic, the press had […]

Singleton, MD, JD – https://marilynsingletonmdjd.com/ Breathless headlines featuring ‘the Virus” are beginning to fade into a chronic undercurrent of fear thy neighbor for he might be bearing the gift of Covid.
