And before anyone suggests that the way a healthy lifestyle hurts you vs covid is by lulling you into a false sense of security when it’s really getting the vaccine that would have saved you from the covid death you got…

My response would be that the sense of security is not false when your lifestyle choice pushes your chances of dying statistically drastically even lower

“If you had a bowl of skittles and 0.02% (healthy people who died to covid, a made up percent for the sake of argument) of them killed you, would you still eat them?”

This is a silly argument. No, I wouldn’t. I try to avoid candy sugar, and among candy I hate skittles. Now if the skittles represent responsible medical autonomy (I say responsible not “I want the right to get covid and then go to a concert! Freeeeedom!”), then fuck yeah I would eat the skittles. I would eat the entire bowl until I hit the one that killed me. And die satisfied

You can tell the people who've never been around illness before. Existing drugs being used for purposes they weren't originally intended for is nothing new. Seizure medication is often used to treat headaches, allergy medication is used as a sleep aid; new uses for old drugs are being thought up all the time. I have family who've partaken in that type of experimentation. Usually you just don't hear about it because it's done at a low level outside normal healthy people's notice or care.

Aren't you using his morbidity to own the Libs in the same vein?

Please nobody listen to anyone's advice here about medicine and talk to your doctor.

No. Rather, I'm mocking a very specific subset of people, and deservedly so. Far from wanting to "own the libs," I've regarded myself as a classic liberal all my adult life. No actual liberal wants to watch people die. Rather, that's the road taken by the Stalins and Pol Pots and Maos of the world.

Pushing the envelope on what's okay to do and say without stepping on anyone's toes and just living your life how you choose to. I see no issue with this.

Censoring people and telling them they're bad for not agreeing with you. I have an issue with this.

I'd say you're the former and not the latter. Unfortunately the latter is what a majority of non-liberals view the liberals as.
