Personally this predates covid, but the insistence to save the ignorant from themelves these days is antithesis to natural selection at work.
Whilst many wont agree with that, it is what it is. Thats not to say dont make people take some precautions, but if you give them every chance to do the right thing, and they dont, then its literally their funeral.
The problem with the 'natural selection' logic is that its not just themselves its hurting.
If they want to jump off a cliff to prove they can fly, don't try and stop them.
If they want to not get vaccinated, then that effects others who can't or are high risk, it hurts the economy when we go into lockdown. It hurts those who need medical attention but beds, nurses and resources are taken up by them.
So i don't mind your logic, it just can't be applied in this instance IMO.
