Contrary to what you said above, it sounds here like you're talking about "deeply personal" decisions. |

Are you sure driving drink not is also?
Here's a sincere question, is there data that suggests that unvaccinated people are infecting others with covid, moreso than vaccinated people?
One personal observation isn't worth much, but in my house, all 5 are fully vaccinated, and 4 of us had covid last week, and we gave it to each other. None of us got seriously sick, and I am convinced the vaccines are great at reducing severity. Not so sure they do much to prevent the spread to begin with, not with omicron. |

The vaccine doesn't stop you from getting infected with COVID, it doesn't stop you from getting sick with COVID, and it doesn't stop people from spreading COVID.
What it does do is give your body what it needs to fight the virus. You do not get as sick, or for as long, from the virus as someone unvaccinated. By shortening the length of the infection/illness you do cut down on how long you can spread the virus.
No, it's not the fault of the unvaccinated that we are still in a pandemic, that would fall on Mother Nature. It needs to run its course.
Unfortunately, some people need a boogeyman to point the finger at
