It's never been about self-choice. It's always about whatever will make people they don't like feel bad.
They don't really need to enforce it. If you look at the list of co-morbities, they apply to like most of the population. BMI over 30, any condition that suppresses the immune system, any autoimmune disease (which includes things like diabetes and celiac) , any disease of the lungs, any disease of the heart, neurodegenerative diseases, high blood pressure, kidney problems, and more.
New kind of medical tourism just dropped. CVS is gonna make bank at their new location at the foot of the Gordie Howe Bridge.
