Does forcing people to do what you want always work out for the best? Has it worked as well everywhere else? Have countries or the media seemingly lied or spun the numbers at times? Didn't NZ announce they defeated covid, getting huge praise for it, only to later have another unforeseen outbreak? How many people suffered or died indirectly because of the lockdown?

'We won the war by nuking them into extinction', wouldn't be seen as acceptable in the most vile hate filled war to rival the ages, because of everything else you would need to take into account.

It's not about "forcing people to do what you want", it's about protecting people from an irresponsible few putting the lives of the wider community in peril. It's no different than having speed limits on the roads, mandatory seatbelts for cars and helmets for bikes, or having drink driving be illegal.

How many still injured or die because of not wearing seatbelts or speeding? How many still injured or die wearing a seatbelt or driving the speed limit? Why hasn't the world shut down all motor vehicle travel for the greater good, as per health and life?

Surely not because it would be seen as an inconvenience, or that it would hurt the overall economy...
