But we have, and it's called vaccination.
Not mandatory everywhere, but it is in many places, especially for school-aged kids.
And if health-centred rules are too much to comprehend, then I suppose it's also your right to choose to drink and drive and you should be allowed to?
I mean, it's the same right to individualism that you are exercising. It's your right to not protect yourself and take risks in the process, but it's not your right to become a danger to others. We're not talking about opinions here, we're talking about the fact that viral infections do spread and kill and that without some measures, they will kill more, not less.
We can argue about what measures are effective for what population and up to what point we should enforce them, but there is -to me- no argument that there are some basic health measures that should be enforced, especially because some will make a point of not doing it and will endanger everyone else in the process.
Also, you can see that the current measures do have a pretty pronounced effect on lowering the flu[1]. So, protecting yourself lowers the transmission rate of viruses in general. Two birds with one stone!
