It's not like the unvaccinated are a special risk to anyone. Your fellow vaccinated citizen is just as likely to be infected and contagious as all the talking heads are saying right now.

All you vaccinated folk can infect each other without any help from me or others. You can also catch and spread the virus to all the "vulnerable" population (elderly, sick, immune compromised, etc) all by yourselves.

So, why the passports? Lockdowns? Masks? F*cking the economy up? Now, it's even move obvious that it's all about control. The only people at risk are those CHOOSING not to get vaccinated. Let me take my risk. Don't worry about me. Go about your lives.

It would now seem, given the current parameters, that we should just put COVID-19 on ignore. According to the experts, there is no reason to ask anyone "are you vaccinated?" as your behavior should be the same no matter what the answer. The unwashed masses are not more likely to be infected / contagious / dangerous than all those who chose the path of putting an experimental cocktail in their arm (twice).

It boils down to this fact: The various rules then are simply to coerce vaccination.

Are you intentionally misinterpreting the data? Vaccinated ARE NOT seen as major spreaders of Covid. They MAY be able to spread in RARE cases but even that is speculation.

I am worried about the unvaccinated and the spread because of the impact on the emergency services and the impact on those that cannot be vaccinated. Full hospitals and emergency rooms means fewer resources available for those coming in for something other than Covid. Emergencies will continue to happen but there may not be room at the inn due to the number of unvaccinated in the beds.

Second, there are some who cannot be vaccinated for valid health reasons. Those unfortunate few are under continued risk due to the number of unvaccinated potentially spreading the virus. If the unvaccinated wore masks as they should then that would decrease the risk, but experience has shown that they won't. If everyone who was eligible got the vaccination then there would be 100 million or so fewer potential carriers walking around threatening the lives of those who cannot be vaccinated.
