“Becoming infected by a pathogen is normally accidental and very different from engaging in self-destructive behavior. In fact, one could argue that public health authorities should treat chronic self-destructive behavior in adults differently from genetic disorders in young children, given that most people would likely agree that the costs associated with such behavior are not as easily justified as those associated with the latter. Yet, this actually shows that the discriminatory possibilities are endless and highlights the arbitrariness of the public health system. For a start, this system redistributes its overall costs as a burden for those most responsible for their own health and as a benefit for the most careless. That is, it socializes the costs of irresponsible health behavior. The only solution to this inherent flaw is the total abolition of the public health system.” (04/28/26)
