It is unfortunate that there is no middle ground between the two. Discussion has devolved into ideological camps and all nuance has been lost.

I am vaccinated, advocate others getting vaccinated, have immunocompromised family, but am uncomfortable with mandated medical treatments.

You're right. There are also edge cases that seem to get lost in the mania of one side or the other.

What if you've already had Covid and recovered? The data seems a lot less certain about whether the vaccine is a clear advantage over the natural antibodies that you have from a natural recovery.

What if you genuinely have allergies or other issues that might cause serious complications with receiving a vaccine? People like this definitely do exist.

Those issues are both real. Alas, it's also tough to prove for certain that somebody is in one of those buckets and not making something up because they're afraid of the vaccine.
