You could just as easily have had the virus without symptoms and passed it on to someone who died right?

You are all so scared of people who made a choice not to be vaccinated, that you somehow believe you are(or at least were) going to get COVID from them even if they do not have COVID. Meanwhile you are not at all scared of vaccinated people who can still get, and transfer COVID. The biggest benefit it offers is reduced symtoms, which could easily offer more transmission if people do not realize they have it and go out and spread it around.

By all means scrutinize those who are coughing and sneezing and blowing their nose sitting beside you the entire game. Meanwhile have a little sensibility to realize that not every unjabbed human on this planet has COVID 100 percent of the time and is putting you at risk if leaving the house healthy.
You understand that you are arguing against a strawman right.

No one ever stated or believed that every unvaxed human had Covid. No one ever believe that the vaccinated could not transmit the disease. Even with Alpha rate of transmission once infected by vaccinated was only reduced by something like 75-80%

What was always true was given the same levels of behaviour a unvaxxed person was more likely to get Covid and was more likely to transmit Covid to others. These are facts with a wide amount of scientific backing. So being around an unvaccinated person increased your risk of Covid.

That is what people are arguing this isn’t about absolute safety it’s was about increasing safety. And one thing people forget about the vaccines is how effective they were up to and including Delta at preventing infection. Omicrons r value changed things and made it much more about protecting yourself as the rates of transmission amomg vaccinated increased.

But when you arguing your argument needs to be the increased probability of death and the increased risk of hospitalization from acquisition did not warrant restricting the mobility rights of the unvaccinated. That is something that you could debate. But instead you are arguing a strawman and not even starting from basic facts.

You don’t need the Sarcasm and strawman to support your statistically life shortening decision.
