7. The exact same logic could be applied to illegal drug use

Granted, in a sense it's a converse, but the same basic reasoning could be applied. Why are people denied the right to individually choose to do cocaine, meth, heroin? As a general concept, it's because of the harm to collective society.

If you are going to argue that it's wrong to mandate vaccines due to "personal liberty", then you MUST also concede it's wrong to deny people whatever freaking drugs they want to take due to "personal liberty"

Tell me how I'm wrong, Dr. Milhoan?

Also, JFC, where do they get these freaking idiots and how do they have these jobs they're obviously completely unsuited for?
