At the moment, I'm "Sheltering in place" at the request of doctors as a harm reduction strategy for the broader population, even though what's best for me might be just wearing a mask and gloves and getting on with life. So, I think autonomy has its practical limits.
Fair enough, but do you agree it's rational for reasonable people to want information about the virus before a vaccine is available? I certainly want that, for example. I think many people would be outraged if we did what you're suggesting, for example...

Now only do I agree that it's rational, I personally would want full information about it before it's available and would have my pitchfork ready with you. Like I said way back in post zero: Full Disclosure folks _are not wrong_. They're just optimizing for freedom(tm).
