And the basic issue -- what do you say to someone who says that they refuse to vaccinate or mask because God told them not to?
You tell them you're sorry, but "because God told them" is not sufficient to allow ALL behaviors.

You may not set fire to a nonbeliever's house
You may not run down a public street naked
You may not torture an apostate
Etc.
Jacobson v. Massachusetts
