“In this case, it would basically be saying that people have an individual liberty to get infected by the SARS-CoV-2 virus and communicate it to others. And clearly, people don’t have that liberty and never did in the U.S.,” Bustillos said.

He’s wrong. Courts have looked into the statistical probability of HIV transmission to overturn or reduce criminal sentences resulting from prosecutions. For example, on 23 February, 2015, the United States Court of Appeals for the Armed Forces reversed the aggravated assault conviction of Technical Sergeant David Gutierrez upon determining that the risk of HIV transmission through sexual intercourse was “not likely to produce death or grievous bodily harm” under the applicable statute.

The same standard of the statistical probability of an unjabbed person transmitting covid would have to be applied before an assault charge could be made. Further, with appropriate early-stage treatments, it would be hard to prove being unjabbed would likely produce death or grievous bodily harm. The last thing the left wants is to have a court case where we get to talk at length about all the early treatments for covid.

I hate to waste my time addressing the ramblings of dyed-in-the-wool leftards, but I couldn’t let this one go with the easy HIV parallels.
