Remember, the limits of what may be done in furtherance of the public health are defined by the constitutional limits on government authority.
Which means NO ONE has lawful constitutional authority to override personal health choices in furtherance of the public health. To do violates at a minimum the first, fourth, and fourteenth amendments to the constitution.
True enough, thanks for explaining the distinction. That leaves me with two points:
1. Who decides how much the sphere of public health gets to overrule personal health and how can we remove them?
2. To my mind public health is a nonsense if its overriding personal health rather than working in harmony with it.
