We always sacrifice liberty for these "noble" goals, don't we? But once you do, there is never getting them back. See: PATRIOT Act. The road to hell is paved with good intentions.

If there is a liberty to expose innocent people to potentially deadly diseases I don't want it for myself or others.

If that's a step towards hell then God is not good.

But you don't get to make that decision for OTHERS. If you are worried about COVID, stay home and wrap yourself in a bubble. There's a certain amount of risk that comes with living with people.

And the rest of us don't have to inject untested, unproven chemicals into OUR bodies just so YOU can have a false sense of security and virtue signal.

Freedom all around.
