I believe you are libertarian & provax?
What do you think of anti-vax language of "choice" to justify their position?
issues unconnected IMO - vax protects others as much as recipient. Failing to vax harms others therefore no "choice" argument

Thanks for your reply. I see the "choice" argument being used in dubious cases such as vax. Are there parameters in "choice"?
-
parameter is once it affects someone else, your choice is mitigated. like drink-driving. kill yourself - or someone else.

eg. What about where "choice" can affect society. Eg schooling by religion or wealth segregates children from each other
-
but that indirect harm is very hard to quantify so really shouldn't be the basis for public policy.
-
Thanks for your feedback. I wanted to see where the ideas of "choice" may be misinterpreted by others.

Is the idea of "choice" being misused?
-
it's used without distinction between self-regarding actions and actions that affect others. that's the problem.
