Eventually we will reach herd immunity, and the minority won't matter.

And what about in the meantime, when the rights of other Albertans are infringed upon, like being able to use the healthcare system they are paying for? We just get to sit around getting killed by survivable diseases and injuries so others can have the right to make poor decisions that negatively impact others?
Rights aren't absolute. Our rights are limited at all times. You can't just walk out into a street and fire a gun in the air randomly. It's always a trade-off. In the case of COVID, the trade off is reasonable, because the alternative is disaster.
