I guess at the end of the day, it's an issue of principle for me. I can't get behind authoritarian policies when it comes to products that just haven't proven to be harmful. I also note, they haven't banned the C19 shots, which are proven harmful. Why not take the same stance here and simply advise against the product if they feel it might be dangerous?
Again, I am not a fan of these products, but IMO authoritarianism always leads to unintended problems and runs counter to my overall stance of small, limited gov't (even though I am also guilty of cheering on some authoritarian things at times...).
Thanks for the conversation. I appreciate that you challenge some things and make me think them through.
I completely get that, and tend to want to hold to principles in general too. However, I can also see that there are times when it might be better not to hold fast to a principle for the sake of it. There is probably not going to be a case where you can hold to a principle 100% so there are likely to be points where you are going to decide to draw the line. You’re not comfortable with this particular line and I respect that. I guess we all have different parameters and limits for these kinds of things.
