Then the nation is doomed. It will follow the arc of all great nations and collapse upon itself or morph into something that Jefferson would spit on.
This nation will collapse even faster if the anti-vaxxers keep getting in the way and we let them. This will not be the last vaccine-preventable pandemic we face.

Remember, when people no longer have the right to be safe in their self and their possessions, you've just torn up a large part of this Constitution.
Sure ... what has been proposed to combat COVID-19 that has risen to the level of "people no longer have the right to be safe in their self and their possessions"?

For years, I've heard the mantra from the Left, My body, my choice. Apparently, that is no longer the case.
Scenario...In 2030, between global supply disruption due to the ebola pandemic, the locust infestation of the Midwest and the continued drought in California, the AOC Administration invoked an order through the FDA and instituted a mandatory one-child policy. Citing the policy's success in China, less mouths means better food security for all.

Unless “the Left” speaks for you or you intend to define yourself or your position using “the Left”, we can ignore “the Left”.
Srsly, what has been proposed to combat COVID-19 that has risen to the level of "people no longer have the right to be safe in their self and their possessions"?

You are smart enough to realize it’s a very bad analogy. The my body my choice issue, u can agree or not on the issue but the accent is on “my”. If someone chooses or not to have an abortion doesn’t affect the poor joe who is next to you on line in the supermarket.
People who think public health safety is all about only personal choice are purposely not seeing the big picture of collective responsibility.
If it was up to me, the law should make life so miserable for people refusing to vaccinate, that they can choose if they please to self incarcerate in their homes, and not be allowed into the public domain.
And I don’t see this at all as a constitutional issue of freedom. Just like seat belts and speed limits aren’t unconstitutional.
Unless you think maybe, my car, my choice?

I see Medicine as choice. In the case of a vaccine, those vaccinated against a disease should be protected against the disease. There are several factors at play...
- The vaccine for COVID apparently does not confer lasting immunity, possibly not even against the same variant.
- Natural immunity is not even being considered. We're pushing antigen tests without giving a damn about antibody levels. Why would you vaccinate an already immune person? Especially a person who has formed antibodies against the entire virus, rather than a snippet of the spike protein?
- While COVID does tend to suck up resources during a wave, during flat times it does not tax the healthcare system. It has become endemic and I suspect, seasonal.
- If insurance wants to charge more for the unvaccinated plan members, that's a legitimate choice. If an employer wishes to mandate vaccination as a condition of employment, that's a legitimate choice. But the government, especially the Executive, has no right to abridge people's rights through the draconian and illegitimate use of the government's powers.

DeSantis prevented companies from doing this very thing, and you called me a fascist for labeling it douchebaggery.

That's ok, you're still a fascist.
Never said I wadn't!
