Lol. Try this exercise in thinking. Compare someone fully vaxxed. Running around here and there going to many parties, restaurants, sporting events attended by large groups of people. Having large groups of people in their house. Now because of the waning efficacy of said vaccine they contract Covid and may have mild to no symptoms. They continue to move around freely because they’ve had the magic bullet and spread Covid to how many locations. An unvaxxed relatively young person in excellent health and fitness who chooses not to do too much socialising. Works in either a very small workplace numbers wise or at home, fastidious with hand sanitisation, wearing a mask indoors or outdoors when I close contact with people. Makes the conscientious choice to maintain good social distancing as much as is possible and avoids gatherings of people particularly indoors for the duration of the pandemic. Self isolates and gets tested at the most minor hint of symptoms. Who of these two is the more reckless, irresponsible and culpable should any others around them contract Covid ?

Problem with your hypothetical is that it isn't actually what's happening.
Those not getting vaccinated are also this who thought covid was a hoax and think it's just the flu and think it's no big deal (hence why they aren't getting vaccinated).
They don't think masks work either. They are the ones who don't take measures against covid.
So it's a double whammy. They don't get vaccinated AND they go about life as if there is no such thing as covid (cause freedums).
 
I always find it funny how many people rally against cancel culture as a horrible thing yet seem to have no issue in partaking in cancel culture when it meets their objective.

dude you've just illustrated my point. You're classifying everyone who is vaccine hesitant as also being the lunatic fringe who do those stupid things and i'm sure that's the case a lot of times esp in the US but these behavioural issues i just don't see linked to vaccine status exclusively. I know plenty of vaxxed people whose behaviour is more to the excessive risk end of the spectrum. Point is that the way people conduct themselves is a huge factor and can be independent of vacc status.

This is a far more complicated and nuanced relationship than a simplistic independence your are touting. Both vaccination status and willingness to engage in other protections are linked to the person's perception of the threat level of the disease.

lol i'm the last person touting a simplistic dependance or independance but thanks for deliberately twisting what i'm saying.

lol sure. as much as you like going to great lengths to twist and deliberately misrepresent what people are trying to say to claim some creepy moral victory.

But how could anyone on the planet even attempt to misrepresent you when the “examples” you cite are hen’s teeth to begin with?

You’re ****ing misrepresentation incarnate.
