But they also have the right to wear their life preserver 24/7 or wear a helmet on the flight to the departure port. I'm sure someone will retort that those are ridiculous analogies, but in reality, they are exactly the same-----the illusion of safety where no actual safety exists. In fact, I could make a better case for the life preserver or helmet, since the former will give protection in case the ship sinks or you fall overboard, and the latter in case of a low speed crash such as while taxiing.

I agree with your analogies. I suppose we could say the same thing about the triple vaxed who still wind up getting Covid. Why insist that passengers on a cruise ship be "fully vaccinated" if they can still get Covid and wind up in quarantine anyway?
Wouldn't it be better to just accept that there is a contagious and ever mutating virus going around and that if you go into crowded places like concerts, sporting events, cruises, etc - you accept the risk of doing so?
I've had the most recent variation of Covid and my symptoms were so mild that I thought it was seasonal allergies. It was basically a head cold. Most of the people that I know who have had it have experienced the same sort of thing. It's when it starts to go into your chest that you should get yourself into a doctor.
