It's just unreasonable to me that we're 18 months into this, and they haven't heard the point articulated that it isn't to prevent their death specifically, but their neighbors death and the overwhelming of the healthcare system. These discussions were fine for a long time, but at this point GP et al must be ignoring these points on purpose because they don't like the answer. It's like the trivial "my body my choice right?" gotcha attempt. Does that serve any purpose other than to rile people up who are already in an echo chamber? Your phrasing of the point, "I'm frustrated with these mandates and may not agree with them for this reason" is fine. But coming at it from a place of articulated-genuine curiosity doesn't make any sense to me, today, given how long these conversations have been happening.
