That made me think of a recent Sovereign Nations podcast of a panel on philosophy. One of the men made a point that collectivists ( they were discussing Rousseau) make for the cruelest warriors because they have removed the individual from the calculation. That sounds similar to COVID Karens enforcing lockdowns because "someone," which is really a plural, might get sick.
Romans 14 asks "Why do you pass judgment on your brother? Or you, why do you despise your brother?" So many of the authorities have called for judgment and anger based on attacking people who don't want to wear masks, or aren't gung ho about getting vaccinated.
It isn't hard to see that Jesus's teaching opposes the ongoing destruction of trust and fellowship over a transient virus.
Everything about fauxvid mitigation, including the not-vaccine, has been pagan superstition. None of it is effective, but it grants the faithful an inner confidence that he is doing everything he can to appease the angry health god.
Now, the health god is being elevated to near the top of the pagan pantheon.
It's one thing when pagans practice their religion, it's another thing when Christians do it.
On disease and "rights"
You write "someone somewhere getting sick..."

This is most certainly true.
Everything about fauxvid mitigation, including the not-vaccine, has been pagan superstition. None of it is effective, but it grants the faithful an inner confidence that he is doing everything he can to appease the angry health god.
