Private businesses and private enterprises have the right - the freedom - to refuse service to anyone as long as their refusal doesn't violate the rights of protected classes (based on race, national origin, disability, religion, etc). "Not being vaccinated" is not a protected class, so they are free to tell you to get lost if you can't prove that you were vaccinated.
The government also has the right to prevent you from entering on Government property without proof of vaccination. Again - it is not violating any of your protected rights. You have the right to freedom of assembly - but NOT when the building is closed and you weren't invited in. You have the right to freedom of speech - but NOT if it requires you to hack into a radio station's controls and take it over. You have the right to freedom of religion - but NOT when it involves stealing your neighbor's chicken to cut its throat as a blood sacrifice.
And - you have the right to come and go as you please - but you do not have the "right" to do so without choosing to be vaccinated. That would be a privilege, not a right.

I’m confused, if you have received the vaccine, how am I putting your life at risk? If two non vaccinated people are in the same location, they potentially only put each other at risk, not you.
If an private business wants to make being vaccinated mandatory that’s their choice. I do have an issue with individual people calling for vaccine passports to punish those who feel the risks of the vaccine outweigh the benefits...
