There is no "false dichotomy". There are only basic higiene and public health guidelines which are designed to curtail and mitigate the spread of a viral disease, specially when the spread is unsustainable and causing the colapse of health services.

You may very well prefer to opt out of even ever washing your hands, but you cannot force anyone around you to accept the risk your militant and contrarian attitude poses to them and your loved ones, specially when we're dealing with cases based on pathetic and utterly outlandish conspiracy theories. I mean, are we now expected to respect those idiots who were pushing the idea that covid was spread by 5G celular networks? Or are we claiming that rejecting 5G-causes-covid conspiracy theories and the like to be "continuing false dichotomies"?
