The problem is who gets to decide who is and who isn't doing that. Anti-vaxxers? Fuck 'em. Smokers? Fuck 'em. Fat people? Fuck 'em. Drug addicts? Fuck 'em. Where does it end?
Smokers are more closely related to anti vaxxers for sure. There was a time when smoking in bars or restaurants were were accepted, and smokers fought back. They were wrong, because their second hand smoke did have an affect on those around them. But fat "people" and "drug addicts, that is not spreadable. Smoking in most businesses is banned, as it should be. Drinking and driving has also had a long history of being illegal.
"My body my choice" does not apply to masks or vaccines. You can spread a virus, you can not spread a pregnancy. Seat belts and air bags have for the past 30 years been standard law for all vehicles.
I smoke and I drink. But I don't smoke around people who don't. And I don't call people who don't drink assholes or wimps. A virus doesn't give one fuck about left or right or politics. It will kill someone, anyone. So the more people wear masks, for now, and the more people get a vaccine, the quicker we can all get past this pandemic.
