> As far as I know you are still free to drive a car even though you a good chance to kill people with it every single day. And if you do kill someone with your car you will be charged with vehicular manslaughter. Similar laws exist that make it a crime to kill or injure others through recklessness or negligence in a wide variety of circumstances. So I gather you're advocating for the government being able to charge the unvaccinated with manslaughter if a death can be attributed to their recklessly endangering others by refusing vaccination? Edit: To be clear, I'm not advocating for such a thing, but if one is going to accuse another commenter of "bad reasoning", it's probably best to avoid doing the same.

> And if you do kill someone with your car you will be charged with vehicular manslaughter. You still have the freedom to drive your car while we all know very well that several dozens of thousands of people will die because we allow that kind of freedom. Let's not pretend otherwise.

  > You still have the freedom to drive your car And with that comes legally enforced consequences if you cause the death of another while exercising that freedom. That's how we deal with the situation where exercising one's freedoms violates the rights of another. So, given your choice of analogy, in a world where individuals have the freedom to choose not to be vaccinated against a deadly disease, I assume you therefore support the idea that similar legally enforced responsibility should apply to those who exercise their freedom to go about unvaccinated, and in doing so cause the death of another. Or would you care to choose another analogy where you are able to exercise a right in a way that both violates the rights of others while having absolutely no consequences?
