Before we talk about choice, let’s first establish what is fact and, by default, what is science. Let us agree on a baseline that answers this most basic question: What is containment? Even answering this seemingly simple, straightforward question is fraught and, by design, sets up the premise of this whole article. 

Let’s start with the least controversial, medical containment. It is a highly specialized, rare and expensive form of containment reserved for highly contagious and deadly diseases. There is no debate about when this is necessary, think COVID-19 and tuberculosis. It is so well proven that if you ask someone to be anywhere near a known pathogen or toxin without this level of protection, you will learn very quickly that a person's beliefs quickly take a backseat to science and proven techniques.
