My point is that "unvaccinated" is a broad term that is including a lot of people with prior infection that you really shouldn't have been made to be concerned about. They are now more of a risk of infection for omicron, but so are folks who received double and triple shots.

> I think they’re lobbying (or lying about status) to let their unvaccinated children bring plague into otherwise vaccinated schools.

How much damage has covid (catching the actual disease) caused to children? How well do the current vaccines stop transmission when youre in a room with 30 other people for an hour?

> I believe they’re lobbying to force businesses to employ them despite them risking other people at work.

This is an interesting framing. You could also say they're lobbying various governments to not force companies to fire people for vaccine status, which as I've said is not as useful of a descriptor as everyone makes it out to be.

> I have yet to see anyone stand up and say “I have the right to be unvaccinated as long as I stay away from places where I have an much higher risk of harming others”. In fact all the evidence shows that they are demanding the exact opposite.

You're talking to someone who had a prior infection but has not been vaccinated. I test frequently, I wear masks (not that I've seen convincing evidence that they do much of anything at an individual level, but because its easy to do and it makes people more comfortable), and I stay home if I have the slightest of symptoms.

Something to keep in mind, especially with omicron: if you are vaccinated you can and will pass the virus if you are infected. You just probably won't die or be hospitalized yourself.
