If you read more about the case you'll see this isnt some principled stand about liberty or disagreement about the science of the disease but actually a mentally unwell person endangering themselves and others. You attempting to make a point about freedom on her back is, I might say, ghoulish.
- kiawe_fire 3y agoI wouldn’t say ghoulish - I can fully understand the reaction, especially going solely off the linked article. However, piecing together more of the case over time, it appears just as you said - very much not a case of individual liberty but one of genuine health concern. By all accounts, it appears law enforcement has tried to allow this person her personal sovereignty in many ways while still keeping track of her to ensure she doesn’t endanger others. That it got to the point it has, is not due to some authoritarian overreach, but rather due to a series of flagrantly contemptuous actions that were defying law enforcement and putting others at risk unnecessarily.
