Letting people know what you know can be helpful, it helps inform their decisions. If you were wrong in your information, at least you did not exert force in a way that actually caused harm (see for example: the harm caused by shutting down schools and restrictions on "non-emergent" health care visits that caused an increase in cardiovascular death - let a long the emotional harm caused by restricting hospital visits and even having people cancel funerals)

Infringing on people's rights "for their own safety" is never helpful.

You are a totalitarian.



And finally, regarding this statement: "They have God-given rights and responsibilities to find out everything for themselves. Government should take no role whatsoever and disseminating information, guidance, instructions to or advice to anyone for any reason under any circumstances."

Government can take a role in disseminating information, guidance, and advice - you have advocated in this thread government intervention that harmed people. This is what we are talking about.
