To be clear I always wear my seatbelt and I am triple-vaxxed. Not doing these things is foolish.

Anyway, my decision to wear a seatbelt around my body is about MY safety. It has no bearing on anyone else driving the streets along with me. Their decision to seatbelt or not will matter only to them if we get into an accident. I'm doing nobody but myself any favors or disservice either way from a physical safety perspective.

To argue differently, replacing seatbelt with vaccine, is pure folly. You have to do some pretty creative arithmetic to make the case that my decision whether or not to put a vaccine in my own body makes any difference to the next person as to whether or not they'll contract and/or become ill from Covid. You get a vaccine to protect YOURSELF. Period.

Which is why your rules about being vaccinated to enter a restaurant, barber shop, etc., make no sense.
of course getting the vaccine is to protect yourself. there is also a side effect of if you dont get covid you cant then spread it to someone else. you can do something for selfish reasons yet still help out the greater good.
Edit: Nevermind, I think I read that wrong the first time.

Look to Australia (well NSW) to show vaccination means nothing when it comes to transmission. Supposedly 95% vaxed. Let it rip.

Seat belt laws reduce the number of serious injuries/death by about half. That care and the resources needed aren't free. Strain on the healthcare system is one reason for the seat belt laws and now the vaccine push.
