1. No, not like seat belts. That's far too kind.

Not wearing a seat belt will pretty much always affect only the idiot who doesn't wear one (or in my case, the poor fool in the back of a cab that didn't have any)

Yes, loved ones and insurance rates and so on, but directly, it only affects the one person.

And yes, they lost that argument long ago.


But with a *communicable* disease, they're affecting other people as well. If they want the freedom to not wear a mask and not get the vaccine, they need to quarantine themselves so they don't cause harm to others. But of course, they don't quarantine, they go out and expose others to potentially lethal consequences of the biological terrorism that they insist on mistakenly calling "freedom"

There is not freedom to infect.

These people need to be treated as terrorists, as giving aid and comfort to the enemy. They are pro-virus agents. If the virus could recruit people to further its war on humans, it would recruit people to do *exactly* what these right-winters are doing. Opposing every protective measure, and going out seeking the virus and trying to spread it to others.

That's not like not wearing a seat belt. It's more like walking into a crowd wearing a suicide bomb and a dead man's switch.

Which, if a republican actually did, they probably call "freedom", too.
