This is segregation and treating people(most of which are not anti Vaxxers, just wanting more testing and trials to prove safety on this one) as less human.

Let's not forget this virus is not just about survival rate, the damage this virus does to a very significant % of those who survive it includes all kinds of long-term health issues, lungs, heart, etc..
This is not some unstudied issue either, we first started looking at covid variants near 2000, the vaccine itself is based on research from the mid 0's and has lots of studies behind it already.
These vaccines and what's in them are well studied, well understood and we have used them on hundreds of millions at this point, so any risk or side effects are already well known, and they are minuscule. The risk of harm from the virus to people, death being the worst, complications after contracting it are very serious and it's not just about individual choice since it's a pandemic, a public health crisis. We are trying to save lives, save the health of people, and it is a small ask to get a jab with an incredibly safe vaccine to protect yourself and your loved ones and those who can't get the vaccines.
