The local library or coffee shop wants me to wear a mask, I wear a mask. Or, I don't go there. It's pretty simple.

I think Stockton's basic preference for a holistic approach to health is fine, and my personal view is that many medications are overprescribed and less draconian treatments and prevention are underutilized. That said, I'm not sure that vaccines in a deadly pandemic, or wearing a mask, are really inconsistent with the philosophy. I belong to a practice that I would characterize as holistic but the doctors there certainly advocate vaccination and masks. I don't know about Stockton personally, but I find it interesting that many of the rabid anti-vaxxers have no problem taking heavy duty pharmaceuticals instead.
