Funny you should say that. I have gotten into a few discussions on C-D with various libertarians and conservatives who are very adamant in using this as an argument against national healthcare or medicare for all.
They say it's not their responsibility to pay for someone else's healthcare, that poor people should take care of themselves better, and if they have lung cancer or diabetes, it's their own problem--they have no right to healthcare services provided by taxpayers.
So don't go there.
This is a different set of circumstances entirely.
There's pills and other treatments to stop smoking, lose weight, stop drinking, etc. There are still those who refuse those medical aids and continue to smoke, drink, eat too much, etc. Despite their refusals of using those medical aids some/many become sick due to their lifestyle and are treated for it. So, there's no difference no matter how you or Lemon try to spin it.
Thats completely untrue. None of those except smoking health affects are contagious to anyone else nearby. Obese people, people and/or those who eat very unhealthy all the time, and people who drink alcohol too much are not contagious and cannot make someone else ill. Smoking can with 2nd hand smoke over long periods of time, that is why it is banned in public places.
No comparison to a 1/100 year virus that has a much higher fatality rate than the seasonal flu and is much more contagious and is a much much higher risk to even young healthy people than pre covid times of airborne diseases. We have a vaccine that has no permanent side affects and has been tested to be safe and very affective. So yeah people who refuse to get covid vaccine except those who are not medically recommended not to get (Like those with weakened immune systems which is a tiny minority) from getting it should not be admitted to hospitals. For covid illness that is. For anything else, yeah they should be admitted.
If he ever does anything significant as a journalist, I'll never know about it because he's one of three people that only stay on the screen long enough for me to change the channel or hit the 'back' button. Other two are Maddow and Andy Cooper.
Pretty sure he's black all the time. You don't get to pick your skin color.

It isn't, and you are merely cherry picking. There are preventative measures for many illnesses and diseases, treating the sick should be the same no matter if a person utilizes preventative measures or not.

"no permanent side affects" ... feel free to give the 5 or 10+ year studies on that.

So, the vaccine doesn't work? If you're vaccinated then why do you care?

You're right, it's not a deadly airborne virus. Case closed.
No proof and the suits she'd filed fizzed out.
Meanwhile, Biden's* own daughter had accused her dad when she'd written about how he had done unspeakable things to her in the shower when she was a small child.
Where's the proof for Don Lemon raping another man?
While you're at it, show me where Joe Biden's daughter wrote that.
It would be great to see Karma bite Don LeMon in the azz.
