People should be allowed full decision over the treatments they want to get, no matter how arbitrary, stupid, or contradictory. To suggest otherwise is a horrific dystopia

    Bullshit. You don’t get a new kidney and get to keep on drinking.

    No, he's right. They SHOULD be allowed full decision over the treatments they want to get.

    However, those decisions should not be free from the rules we as a society have put in place.

    Us banning COVID vaccine deniers this treatment could be a good compromise. They freely get to decide, and they also suffer the consequences of that decision. Win/Win.

    this is honestly why I thought vaccine cards to sit at restaurants, attend concerts... These are good ideas.

    We do this in Australia for kindergarten, if your kids aren't vaccinated you don't get the childcare subsidy.

    For reference, the subsidy can be the difference between paying $200 a week and $1200 a week.

    Right. I don’t care if COViD deniers chose not to get a vaccine. I care that they endanger people who want or need to be more careful. Let them make the choice, as long as the rest of us can choose not to be exposed to them

    So people with autoimmune deficiency can choose to just hide indoors or die, because selfish pond scum spend too much time on Facebook?

    Nah, that's the wrong way around. Meet the basic expectations of society or accept you will be excluded from it.

    Literally me. I've been locked inside since 2020 because I had a double lung transplant and COVID will most likely cause my lungs to reject, and I die.

    Assholes refusing to put a damn n95 mask on has pretty much thrown my life away. My transplanted lungs wont last forever. My final years are locked indoors because a fucking mask is political.

    Yeah, because kidneys are a rare and valuable thing what drinking would prevent from working

    That makes zero sense for your petty ass sense of vengeance by denying people easily manufactured treatments because they turned down a vaccine you think they should have gotten.

    That most of society thinks they should have gotten. That results in other people dying if they don't get it.

    GTFO of here acting like your right to a fist doesn't end where my nose begins.

    Yes, you do get to decide the treatments you want to get. Nobody is forcing any treatments on you. But just like freedom of speech, it doesn't mean freedom from consequences of that speech. Too stupid and didn't want to participate in saving your fellow human? Well, said fellow humans don't want to participate in saving you either.

    Oh no, the dystopia of having to get a vaccine to prevent the spread of dangerous disease to your fellow human beings. The horror.
