Idiots are everywhere. Maybe this will thin the herd.

Sadly, the problem is that the idiots don't just affect themselves. When they get sick and die, they use up resources that the rest of us need -- hospital beds, medications, etc. -- in essence, we're paying (literally and figuratively) for their selfish, idiotic choices.
Careful with that line of thinking; it can be applied to many human lifestyle choices.
There's a difference between a lifestyle choice and something that's being done to protect public health in the face of a pandemic. Really in the latter case, it should not be a choice at all ... calling it a lifestyle choice is disingenuous. If you really want to go in that direction, the slippery slope argument says that all vaccinations are lifestyle choices, and we shouldn't mandate any of them... then we'll see what happens.
