Some people are incredibly stupid and willing to hurt those around them if that allows them to exercise their whims. The rest of society needs to be protected from them, and that is a key function of government.

Someone close to me had a coworker who doesn’t believe in the COVID-19 virus and feels that his employer’s guidelines were designed to embarrass the president. He came to work with symptoms, and infected dozens of people, a few of which are hospitalized.

It’s branch of stupid human behavior that’s always with us. Google the history of “Typhoid Mary”.
