- dapf 6y agoThe point of freedom is to be free to take decisions about your life, including injecting substances in your veins. Would you agree with that?
- kstenerud 6y agoWhat exactly is the point you're trying to make? Living in a community is about collectively accepting trade-offs on what you can, cannot, and must do. We then codify them into laws and constitutions.
- adamcstephens 6y agoExcept you’re not just making decisions about your own life. If you are a carrier, and give a disease to another person when you could have been vaccinated, how are you not culpable?
- lamontcg 6y agoNope. I believe in outcomes not freedoms. Wage a war on drugs and you get violence and overdoses. Ban abortions and you get them done in back alleys. Enforce vaccinations and you save thousands of lives. One of these things is not like the others.
