You know what kills more than COVID? Sugar which causes cancer, diabetes, and heart disease. If we're going to go after COVID for the havoc it causes, there's a long list of similar issues that could be tackled with the same type of mandate. I don't look forward to our health-police state we apparently decided was a great idea. Well we didn't decide, because that would have required congress to pass a law. This was just some old man skipping congress, likely knowing this will be overturned by the Supreme Court, but desperately needing to change the national debate away from Afghanistan.

If people could take a shot or two that massively reduces the risk of sugar induced cancer, diabetes and heart disease they'd be fools not to take it.

  It's called insulin shots. They're not cheap your side of the Atlantic.

  Why not prevent such cancers in the first place? Forbidding sales of sugar, cigarettes, and trash food would go a long way to prevent cancer, diabetes, heart disease and obesity. Sh*t happens, you can't have a vaccine for everything.

    Unfortunately you are going to have a hard time finding scientific agreement on which foods to ban. The science isn’t that good yet.

Downvoted because you assert a simplistic and erroneous equivalence between damage caused by sugar consumption and that caused by a communicable disease. If you eat sugar, you don't endanger others' health. If you don't get vaccinated, you put others at risk. See the difference?

Heart disease kills more people than covid because heart disease is an umbrella term for thousands of conditions, while covid-19 is one disease. Same for cancer, there are hundreds of types of cancer.
