Sounds a lot like the obesity epidemic to me. One that kills 1,794 people in the United States DAILY, year… over… fucking… year. Also completely preventable.

And before you call BS here’s the data: https://www.cdc.gov/heartdisease/facts.htm

Obesity isn't contagious

Prevention of obesity is a bit harder than getting vaccinated.

Also the data you link to is about heart disease. Many people will have some sort of heart disease as they age even without being obese. The #1 risk factor of heart disease is age. Age is not preventable.

There are many ways you can force your population or employees to be less fat.

Google could ban fatties from coming into the office incentivising fat loss, you could force fat people to self isolate or not allow them to travel, also to incentivise healthy loving and make it shameful to contribute to the obesity epidemic.

This is all ridiculous, but the moral logic would be similar. The same is true for driving and weapons, which are dangerous.
