The NAP is very basic and fundamental (in stark contrast to all the laws we have on book). And in order to be so and not open to too-much interpretation, it has a very narrow and explicit scope that has emergent properties. If you expand it you're back into "government" and "interpretation" territory and have made the NAP meaningless.
Just look at this thread and all the disagreement about vaccine policy; even without the NAP at play and with supposed "social contract" and "laws" and "constitutions" and "UN Declaration of human rights" we still can't agree how to coexist and deal with this pandemic. Meanwhile, the authoritarian CCP/Chinese government is handling it just fine, and probably laughing their asses off right now at the rest of the world's inability to deal with this. The rules are currently stacked in favor of bullies, whether that's an overreaching government like Canada in this case, China and international law that allows it to not be punished for this world-scale disaster, or everyday bullies that are effectively victim-blaming people who are discriminated against because of their medical choices.
