I think it's less about freedoms and more about rights

Is it a person's right to fly on an airplane without wearing a mask? I'd don't think so

Is it a person's right to decide what medicines they take? I'd say yes, definitely

You can take away freedoms in the interest of others, but not rights, in my opinion. The policies I've seen are pretty fuzzy on this distinction

Note that the mandates in question (those in Quebec) don't force you to get the vaccine.

They just say that if you don't, you no longer have an inalienable "right" to shop at Walmart.
