How coincidentally apt considering I just used a similar argument to smack down a Covidian who made the following snide remark in response to a health care worker’s heartwrenching letter (https://lauradodsworth.substack.com/p/i-love-my-job-but-i-wont-be-jabbed) about being forced out of her job due to the mandate:

Emma: It’s akin to demanding to have sex without a condom though. The attempts at self victimisation are so unedifying.

Me: You’re right, Emma. Being raped by a condomless AIDS carrier is actually remarkably similar to being injected with an experimental gene therapy that has been statistically proven to have drastically higher chances of fatality and injury than an innocuous virus with a 99.7% survival rate.

And I agree, the attempts by Covidians at self-victimization—even as they are depriving others of their livelihood, their freedom, their bodily autonomy, their inalienable rights—are unedifying, disgusting, and pathetic.
