| > Why should people have the freedom to spread diseases? Do you want to bring back leper colonies, then? Should it be illegal to buy eggs from the grocery store while sick with a communicable disease? All kinds of horrific policies can be justified to prevent disease spread. |

| ▲ | tjwebbnorfolk 2 hours ago | parent [-] | | Getting sick occasionally with stuff is part of regular, normal life. Why is covid special? If you are afraid of it, then how about YOU stay home and triple-mask and sanitize your whole life. Disease and dirt and mold and shit is everywhere. Get used to it. The comparison to stabbing someone with a poisoned needle is insane. |
