I'll keep living my life as I always have. Death comes for all. I won't be living in fear. But I welcome all you to do as you please. All the fear is mildly amusing to me at this point. Boosters forever.


it's up to you how to live and die, but it's not up to you to decide it for other people by spreading deadly virus around.


You speak as if you have the power to lock him up if he has coronavirus. Unless he lives in Australia, you don’t.


More and more countries make smart decisions. Today Switzerland voted YES for covid certificates[1]. The Netherlands will effectively do the same in 1 week - it won't be enough to get tested to enter a museum, cinema, or restaurant, you will have to be vaccinated or recovered[2]. Hopefully at some point unvaccinated won't be able to go outside!

your liberty ends where the right of other people to live begins.


Did we stop selling coke and cigarettes? Did we stop mass advertising on TV?

People are allowed to take the risks of living in a real world and live with their decisions.


For the USA at least, we stopped putting cocaine in coca cola, we stopped advertising cigarettes to children, put limits on child labor, and many similar actions.

Leaning towards maximizing liberty does not mean no or few limits.

As sAbakumoff said:

Cigarette smoking for example as a negative impact on non-smokers, but has not been outlawed. Due to smoking's impact though smoking is now more limited in many public areas, restaurants, and other areas. So if covid continues to cause more deaths than second hand smoke I can see and understand laws and regulation around it.


Should you be able to drive drunk?


Definitely not. But you’re still allowed in a car with someone who is not. You have options. You’re not mandated to stay at home if you choose to drink.


you shouldn't be allowed to go around spreading deadly virus and killing other people


You shouldn’t be allowed to have kids because they use both gas and electric resources which are destroying the earth for my nieces who are already born.


FWIW I see no meaning in having kids, never had, never will.
