“Your freedom ends where it endangers the health of other people.”
My only response to that statement is ‘Thank God the founders codified my right to own a firearm’.
There’s nothing that can’t be done to you in the name of ‘public health’.
And the CDC is the ‘honorable’ organization that includes adult gangbangers in their gun violence stats to justify gun control.
Not that they have an agenda. Or anything. Or conflicting stock investments. Or anything.
The Constitution was written at a time when sanitoriums for sick people were common. People with tuberculosis were locked up. Same with leprosy. If you caught a communicable disease, you could literally be quarantined in your house for weeks, with notices posted around your property warning other people not to approach your house. Typhoid Mary was imprisoned for over 30 years, because she kept infecting people and would not believe that she was contagious, because she was an asymptomatic carrier. The framers of our Constitution specifically included the duty of the government to provide for the general welfare of the people—as much against infectious disease, I believe, as against malicious human enemies.
The vaccine age has brought us an unprecedented amount of freedom of movement that our ancestors could not imagine.
Even now, if you get an infectious disease, you can be quarantined. Whole towns can be quarantined, if it comes to that. No matter how much you value your freedom, you do NOT have the right to go around infecting other people.
