I am vaccinated 2x + boosted.

And yes, a gun is being held to our heads. I am not allowed to enter a bar without 'showing my papers'. I am not allowed to work without 'showing my papers'. I am not allowed in restaurants without 'showing my papers'.

Where do you get off saying a gun isn't being held to my head?

People around you just don't want to risk sharing the same room with someone who demonstrates lack of consideration for everyone's health, that's all. "Showing the papers" is the best available proxy filter for that, clearly far from perfect. It's quite similar to smoking, you are allowed to smoke 10 packs a day if you feel like it, but you are not allowed to fuck up other peoples' lungs while you do it. Do smokers have guns to their heads because of that?
as already explained, a vaccinated person gives you no protection (masks aren't helping either), so the idea that 'someone is demonstrating lack of consideration for everyone's health is already flawed. but if you keep it up, you do realize this leads to war? you really want to destroy everything over this?
