It is a lame attempt to equate two groups that are in no way equivalent.
In summary:
THE VACCINATED AND UNVACCINATED ARE NOT THE SAME.
They have vastly different rates of contracting COVID, spreading COVID, getting hospitalized and dying. The sad part is that this should be a very easy, clear cut choice, but for some they are having trouble processing this information. Some may be following a political agenda, some may be afraid of the shot more than the disease, and some are just oblivious to what is happening. Like Judge Judy says---"You can't fix stupid"

Vastly different rates of contracting and spreading? Not since Delta arrived.
Israel has among the world’s highest levels of vaccination for COVID-19, with 78% of those 12 and older fully vaccinated, the vast majority with the Pfizer vaccine. Yet the country is now logging one of the world’s highest infection rates, with nearly 650 new cases daily per million people. More than half are in fully vaccinated people, underscoring the extraordinary transmissibility of the Delta variant and stoking concerns that the benefits of vaccination ebb over time.

I wouldn't call 25 to 50- percent breakthrough cases "vastly different"
Israel is like the canary in the coal mine and scientists/epidemiologists are watching what happens there closely. They were one of the first countries to fully vaccinate a large persentage of citizens, the Delta wave hit them earlier than USA, they documented the large percentage of breakthrough cases, and they are the first country to implement country wide booster shots. (which appear to be working quite well)
I am fully vaxed and recommend it to all at risk. But I find the vaccine shaming and call for vaccine passports ridiculous. First of all, there are probably over 100 million Americans with immunity from previous infection. Immunity that is stronger and more robust than that given by the vaccine. Should they be shamed and forced to vaccinate?
Personally, right now I'd feel safer in a room, boat or plane with 100% covid survivors than 100% vaccinated, because the fact is currently the rate of infection is "vastly different" when comparing breakthrough cases vs reinfections.
