As we see, they go to crowded places, unvaccinated, and spread the virus. I think that's irresponsible. Is that "ludicrous moralization and judgement?"

To be fair, vaccinated people also spread the virus.
Yes, however, vaccinated people are much less likely to catch the virus.
irresponsible to who? The other people that have made the same decision and accepted the risk? or the people who are vaccinated and have pretty close to zero risk?

Vaccine effectiveness is changing every day. In Israel they're seeing 16% efficacy 6 months after the 2nd Pfizer dose.

Also, benefits are only one half of the cost:benefit analysis. Where is the public data on side effects? It doesn't exist because all we have is completely unverified VAERS claims.

You can't make an informed decision when you only know half the equation.
