Valid point.

Being libertarian works great until you start talking about public safety, health concerns, the threat of epidemics, etc.

Suddenly human lives are at risk and you have to weigh the cost of personal freedom & the choice to as an example NOT vaccinate, a choice that many would strongly feel is THEIR right...suddenly things look a lot different.

Unless of course you plan to live in the woods and never come out, then fine you are free to not vaccinate.
