I think it is easy to jump on the "I told you so" bandwagon, be it for "freebirths" or anti-vaxers or HAES movements. In the end these movements only lead to suffering. Be it still-born babies, people dying of preventable diseases or an early death because of obesity. I wish there was an easy answer to these problems. I feel strongly about personal freedom, but in the end how can you attack these issues then by information and regulation?
The only other option may be the Chinese way of their social credit system. Don't vaccinate? Points deducted. Don't have a birth in a hospital? Points deducted. Obese? Points deducted.
That will certainly impossible to implement in the west and also probably hard to reconcile with our culture, but it may come through the backdoor, as insurances are implementing finer and finer pricing factors, such as smoker/non-smoker.
