The difference here is consent.

I never consented to having fluoride removed from my water. Why is your right to be a weapons grade dumb cunt more important than my right to not spent tens of thousands more on my healthcare?

[–] wolfyvegan@slrpnk.net 1 points 3 weeks ago

If you think that someone tampering with your drinking water without your consent is unethical, then we seem to be in agreement...?

(The right to affordable healthcare is a positive right, whereas the right to freedom from intervention is a negative right; they are not in the same category.)
