Your comparisons between issues in modern cultural and political concepts are fascinating. Please tell me how overeating, obesity, personal addictions, competitive athletics and media consumption are related to microbial infection vectors so that I can write a definitive thesis about externalities and how they don't exist because I want to live in a libertarian fantasy world.

I will make a comparison, tell me how you find it: "Dumping waste into the river shouldn't be illegal because you dump your waste in your toilet every day and it goes to the river."

Does it sound reasonable? Sure. But I haven't defined scope and I haven't defined effect and I haven't even defined what 'waste' is; I just made up two scenarios which could have similar outcomes and then called it day -- but if you actually care about what happens to the world you need to get a little more detailed than writing silly grandiose political statements and making non-sensical metaphors comparing indicting someone for murder with crafting public health policy.

I'm just reply to your statements with questions and you refuse to answer by creating new conclusions.

I don't see any questions except the murder one (which I noted is non-sensical) and some rhetorical ones.
