Willing to mingle with people very different from yourself is a very new phenomenon and certainly not widespread. It's nice that you can look past the differences.

> SARS2 is not a big threat to vaccinated people. Why the hysteria?

Even if we assume that it's not a threat to the vaccinated, it is still very much a threat to the non-vaccinated. All sorts of pandemic measures are designed to help society as a whole, not just the individual obeying the rules.

...which is irrelevant in the context of this discussion which centres around a vaccinated person preferring to avoid unvaccinated people.

It is strange how the vaccinated seem to be the ones most scared of the disease while the unvaccinated just get on with their lives. Many of those unvaccinated people have had SARS2 and as such have better immunity than any vaccine can give them, even more are in the age brackets where SARS2 is no serious threat. Most will have a full set of childhood vaccinations but are wary of these new vaccines which do not have a long safety record like the aforementioned childhood vaccines. A small group will be opposed to any and all vaccines, even though many if not most of them will have gotten vaccinated as children. For some reason the latter group is used as a marker for all unvaccinated people but the same is - fortunately - not true for the vaccinated group or I would be considered like one scared of his own shadow, not being able to cope with any risk now matter how small. It should not be true for the unvaccinated either but alas, that ship has sailed.

It is not irrelevant. Once again, it's about more than individual gains, it's about group gains. A vaccinated person can still carry the virus even if they themselves are relatively fine. Not wanting to be in contact with higher risk people (the unvaccinated) helps prevent the spread of the virus.

> It is strange how the vaccinated seem to be the ones most scared of the disease while the unvaccinated just get on with their lives.

I don't see how that is strange at all. Clearly the vaccinated people are much more likely to consider the virus to be a serious threat as compared to the unvaccinated who tend to brush it off as either a minor annoyance or straight up fake propaganda.

This can be seen in all sorts of other areas. It's the climate scientists who are most scared of climate change, it's the cryptographers who are most scared of broken cryptography, it's the educated who are most scared of drinking from the same river the village pees in.
