Heart disease isn't contagious. The argument you are pushing is valid against all vaccination mandates for the point of public health. That's pretty hard core anti-vax.

  Covid amongst vaccinated is still contagious

    I can not find studies about Omicron right now, but Nature reports that vaccination provably reduces the spread of Delta variant, but requires boosters in the 3 month range to maintain effectiveness: https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-021-02689-y https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-021-02689-y

The effects of eating five cheeseburgers a day are spread out over decades. The result of a group of people choosing to each five cheeseburgers a day is a tiny increase in the average load on the health care system over many many years. The effect of COVID on the health care system is a large short term spike in load. It is almost always in almost all systems much easier to deal with a long term small steady increase in load than to deal with a short term massive spike.

  Yeah this whole thing is extremely frustrating to me, it's simply ignoring reality. I would love to not care about other peoples choices, but I can't do that when I have family members who had surgery delayed because of COVID cases taking over hospitals.

  > result of a group of people choosing to each five cheeseburgers a day is a tiny increase in the average load on the health care system over many many years. You are exaggerating and minimizing all at the same time. It doesn't take five cheeseburgers a day to wreck your body. The healthcare system is overloaded, and has been for years precisely because of how many health issues come from our poor diets. > The American Diabetes Association (ADA) released new research on March 22, 2018 estimating the total costs of diagnosed diabetes have risen to $327 billion in 2017 from $245 billion in 2012, when the cost was last examined. > This figure represents a 26% increase over a five-year period. https://www.diabetes.org/resources/statistics/cost-diabetes https://www.diabetes.org/resources/statistics/cost-diabetes These numbers have only gone up.

We have entire government agencies dedicated to food safety and health (FDA and USDA). We also have laws governing trans fat and nutritional facts/disclosure.
