14. I don't care if they die or not.

I just say they have no right to demand medical care over those who tried not to get the virus, and that in the case of limited resources to treat those who fall ill to it, they have no right to expect that treatment. By refusing vaccination, they are actively stating their right to not only get sick (that is their right, granted), but make others sick (that is not their right, ever).

Maybe that is not enough to warrant incarceration for assault with a deadly weapon (in the 1980s, some were jailed for consciously giving others AIDS, if you want a precedent), but I find it more than grounds enough to refuse such people treatment if they had a chance to take preventive measures and laughed it off.
