Super-spreading wedding demonstrates Covid-19 risk posed by holiday gatherings

This entire subthread is in response to just such a comparison:

"Sure, just like drunk driving or twitching your trigger finger when someone just happens to be in front of the gun."

And I quoted you -- you make a comparison to homicide. Comparing catching a virus to homicide of any sort is...extreme.

Firstly, that's not the same commenter. Secondly, the drunk driving and gun examples were clearly provided merely as examples where "my body, my choice" doesn't apply.

I know it's not the same commenter.

If you're going to argue that gun homicide and drunk driving are examples that should also be followed here, you are making the analogy between catching a virus and those examples.

Yes, the analogy is being made, and the scope of the analogy is clearly that "my body, my choice" does not apply to either thing.
