      @BernardKeane 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

      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.

          So if there is strong evidence of harm for others or society, then the "choice" argument is no longer valid

          no - you choice stops if you are going to harm someone else. you are imposing costs on them for free otherwise.

          So if I understand correctly, choice stops if you harm others. But it doesn't apply to society

          Or what is being forced on the individual even though it harms them. That sounds like sane logic!?!
