it's just sensible!

I can't tell you how many claims I've seen of "well, then, let the chips fall where they may."

it's temptingly easy to forget we share this life with many, many people who view existence as a preamble to an eternity in heaven

@O_C that promise was used to justify crushing inequality a thousand years ago, and it's still being used the same way today.

It would be fine for people to be laissez-faire about getting sick if they didn't also infect so many other people who would rather live, thanks.

Yeah, this fantasy that personal "liberty" takes priority over public good is nauseating, especially when it has so frequently been enlisted as a justification for withholding public goods from people whom those squawking about liberty don't respect.

Yeah that's the thing. I wouldn't care if these folks were only endangering themselves, but they're actively making life more dangerous for others. What's worse, these younger healthier people who are choosing to live life like normal aren't the ones most likely to die.
