That is a pretty scary statement. "You cannot have your freedom until you take your medicine."
It's how things are and always have been.
Rights are an expectation of how you will be treated by others. Try walking into an uncontacted tribal group and tell them that you have a right to life and property. You'll be repeating it as they burn you alive and take your shit.
You have the right to own a gun and shoot it. You don't have the right to shoot it at your neighbor, you don't have a right to shoot it in a crowded area, you don't have a right to do a lot of things with it. If you ignore that responsibility, the responsibility to be a responsable gun owner, you have your right taken away.
Similarly, you have the right to free association. However that doesn't mean you have the right to force association on others, that doesn't mean you have the right to associate with others if you are spreading an illness around, that doesn't mean you have the right to go wherever you want whenever you want.
Rights are fundamentally linked to responsibility. You don't get to have a right without an obligation to society in return for the expectation that your rights be maintained.
