Does your logic extend to "you've declined to lose weight and acted like being obese is nothing to be concerned about, so we're going to not admit you to the hospital"?

Well, it's 'danuker's logic, not my own.

I just want to know if they fully extend "do what you want" to everybody or if it's a situation of "do what you want for me, do what I want for thee."

If they do, then the answer would clearly be: yes.

As an aside, some of this is already done when resources are scarce today. The alcoholic who can't stop drinking isn't going to make it on the liver transplant recipient list. One of the biggest dangers of Covid has consistently been that it risks overwhelming hospital capacity, which so far fortunately has been minor (though has resulted in some tragic outcomes) but not something anyone should want to continue.

You can't solve obesity with two shots.

On one hand there's a clear pressure from governments, WHO, etc. to get vaccinated (which is still a higher pressure than from smallest groups but with a bigger voice, aka anti-sthg) for a positive outcome and on the other hand there is a strong pressure from junk food industries to eat unhealthy diet.

There's also a lot of obese people who are concerned about their weight (but I don't know the proportions).

So it's oranges to apples.
