Let's say it turns out your best friend has lung cancer. Sucks, but they've got somewhere between 1-5 years to live I come along and I shoot your friend. It's a chest wound. Your friend dies painfully, gasping for air At the trial, I argue I didn't kill them - the cancer did /1

I say that sure, I shot them, but they'd have recovered if they weren't sick. It wasn't my fault - it was the cancer. They didn't die of a gunshot, they died with a gunshot And anyway, they'd have died anyway. Would you vote to convict? /end

And you're fine with raising the general infection level until "at risk" people inevitably catch it and die Because you're a piece of shit

Humans aren't "biologically designed" to do anything, intelligent design is an unscientific religious belief People used to die all the fucking time of disease, dying of disease was a basic part of life

No That's not how infectious disease works Public health measures *only* work if everyone does them

Viruses mutate as long as they're still growing in an active infected population A vaccine that only one person -- or only 1% of the population -- takes while everyone else is getting it rapidly becomes useless

The whole problem is that the libertarian mindset makes all these assumptions about how the world works -- that people's lives can be separated into bubbles, "you can swing your fist as long as it doesn't touch my face" -- that are false

And the basic way infectious disease works makes it COMPLETELY and DANGEROUSLY false You're spewing your germs into the fucking air walking around You have no "right" to do that any more than you have the right to burn a pile of tires in your yard and fill the world with smoke

But Arthur, it would mildly inconvenience them. Which is tyranny apparently.
