Re magnitude-dependent utilitarian contradiction: Perhaps the difference is the number of cases. If you only limit the freedom of only a couple of poeple (those who suffer from rare diseases) the risk of stigmata and exclusion seems intuitively high. In the other case it would be more of an collective effort, because pretty much everyone has to deal with colds on a regular basis.
