In other words, could you imagine how one person's "personal choice" might result in someone else's death (say, because they spread the illness to someone with a weaker immune system)?

I'm not sure what reality you live in, but this is pretty much how the world works. Murder, accidental traffic deaths, flu deaths, COVID deaths, etc... they all have an element of 'personal choice' behind them if we're looking at them through your optics. Do you constantly worry about being asymptomatic with the flu and giving it to some immunocomprimised individual leading to their death? Just because you got the flu shot this year doesn't stop it as we all know. Why haven't you been wearing masks your whole life during flu season or avoiding old people at all costs? How many people have you killed with your reckless disregard, Loramin?!!

How can you be such a pro-vaxxer when vaccinated people are still spreading it per the CDC? There's also no science that tells us the variants come solely from unvaccinated individuals, so the blame game is juvenile. Non-mainstream science has been telling us from the beginning that we will be dealing with variants for decades like most viruses, but the media/politicians can't miss an opportunity to spout that next sensational headline. Viruses are tough cookies to crack, and we're not very good at it yet.

There's a difference being wanting to go about your normal life vs. trying to actively spread a disease and kill people. It's called intent and it matters. Stop trying to equate the two.
