Yes, you do get to decide the treatments you want to get. Nobody is forcing any treatments on you. But just like freedom of speech, it doesn’t mean freedom from consequences of that speech. Too stupid and didn’t want to participate in saving your fellow human? Well, said fellow humans don’t want to participate in saving you either.
People should be allowed full decision over the treatments they want to get, no matter how arbitrary, stupid, or contradictory. To suggest otherwise is a horrific dystopia

If that decision contributes to the spread of a pandemic, they can keep they cherished decisions behind bars in a quarantined prison.

Oh no, the dystopia of having to get a vaccine to prevent the spread of dangerous disease to your fellow human beings. The horror.

The dystopia of arbitrarily punishing people with inability to get things that would literally cure their diabetes because they refused a vaccine
CosmicDetour@lemmy.world 1 year ago
If there are plenty of vaccines to go around, sure.

Bullshit. You don’t get a new kidney and get to keep on drinking.
thantik@lemmy.world 1 year ago
No, he’s right. They SHOULD be allowed full decision over the treatments they want to get.
However, those decisions should not be free from the rules we as a society have put in place.

this is honestly why I thought vaccine cards to sit at restaurants, attend concerts… These are good ideas.

We do this in Australia for kindergarten, if your kids aren’t vaccinated you don’t get the childcare subsidy.
For reference, the subsidy can be the difference between paying $200 a week and $1200 a week.

Right. I don’t care if COViD deniers chose not to get a vaccine. I care that they endanger people who want or need to be more careful. Let them make the choice, as long as the rest of us can choose not to be exposed to them
bioemerl@kbin.social 1 year ago
Yeah, because kidneys are a rare and valuable thing what drinking would prevent from working
That makes zero sense for your petty ass sense of vengeance by denying people easily manufactured treatments because they turned down a vaccine you think they should have gotten.
Nurse_Robot@lemmy.world 1 year ago
That most of society thinks they should have gotten. That results in other people dying if they don’t get it.
GTFO of here acting like your right to a fist doesn’t end where my nose begins.

The State isn’t the society…

Do you mean liver? That’s the organ alcohol primarily harms. Kidneys are somewhat secondary.
