Because I don't trust the federal and state governments to act in my best interests. This is not too say that some are acting in the best interests of the people as I am sure some in government do mean well, but not to blindly trust that the government knows best about our public helath. China/Vietnam have stopped covid, that's great but you can't exercise many of the freedoms that are allowed here. Imagine if someone tried to fly a baby Xi balloon in China, or even practice a religion without fearing persecution or death? Or even mention tiananmen square massacre or the death toll from the Great Leap Forward... That is still going on and yet we are looking to China style lockdowns as a model of how to deal with Covid.
