30 May 2021 – There are numerous sources justifying universal vaccination against COVID-19. However, many others highlight the arguments for vaccine hesitancy. The controversy bears a resemblance to the poisonous discourse between opposing political parties in any country — except that the enforced total dominance of public discourse by pro-vaccination authorities is more consistent with the dynamics of a dictatorship.

Conventionally a pantheon is the particular set of all gods of any individual polytheistic religion, mythology, or tradition.
