Thereby hangs the tail.....

THat then becomes tantamount to victim blaming...

"We said you should exercise common sense, and because others around you who grudgingly take public health measures when they are obliged to have made you sick, then you only have yourself to blame. Don't blame us for allowing others to put you at risk" Same argument used by the gun nuts. "It is up to gun owners to choose not to massacre schoolkids, don't blame us for making it easy for them to do so."
