Not who you're replying to, but the good of society never becomes more important than your personal choice.

Clearly the good of society is more important than some personal choices.

We don’t allow people to make personal choices to commit murder, or to drive drunk, or even to drive at all without licenses.

Laws against murder and drunk driving are to protect other individuals against having their rights violated by you. Society never comes into the calculation, only the self interest of other individuals.

You can drive without a license.

The agreed-upon surface area of 'the good of society' is smaller than you think. A disease that is %99.99 survivable and likely won't be resolved by non-sterilizing vaccine. is not comparable to the prohibition on murder.

I think it's larger than you think. In some regions ICUs are filled with covid patients and surgeries are being cancelled as a result.
