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.

    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.
