He ran out of arguments a long time ago...now he's just waving his ignorant troll banner.
Prohibition is actually a fantastic example, and a comparison does not mean that the two things have to be exactly the same. Your argument since the vaccine came out was that young people need to be forced to take it to protect the old, but now you're moving the goalposts when we find out everyone's going to get covid anyways and your original position and argument no longer applies, because it's collapsed into a million pieces with the emergence of Omicron. We don't force good health on people. That's not how our society works. People can drink all the booze they want. They can shove their face with donuts all day long until they die. They can choose not to get any exercise. They can choose to chain smoke cigarettes all day long until they die at the age of 50 from cancer. It's called personal responsibility, and the Supreme Court ruled that Biden's vaccine mandates are invalid. You don't get to save people that don't want to be saved. Maybe that's how things work in the superhero movies you watch and sport as your avatar, but that's not real life. Come back to real life, AWTY.
Someone else eating doughnuts and not exercising doesn’t put me at any particular risk. Other people drinking and smoking DO pose a risk to me, which is why precisely why there are limits imposed on those behaviours. You can’t smoke in a restaurant or on an airplane. You can’t drink and drive.
Try harder.
