Also, what about the bodily autonomy of people that don't want to be in close proximity someone who might have covid? (after all, vaccines are only 65-95% effective, perhaps a little less when it comes to new variants). This is just inevitably one of those cases where an individual's own freedom can actively inhibit other people's freedom, there's no perfect solution.

They can choose to isolate themselves. The big wide world is full of risks, and COVID is but one.

If you choose to get vaccinated, you have little to worry about. You're not going to get sick, even if exposed. If I choose to not get vaccinated, I theoretically endanger myself and that's my choice.

I might need the ICU that's filled to the brim with anti-vaxxers. (There are also folks who can't get vaccinated who rely on the responsibility of others.)

People should definitely have the choice whether to be vaccinated or not. This does not mean that they do not have to bear the consequences of that decision. This might well mean that they cannot travel as easily as before or might not even visit restaurants because of the threat that they still pose to others. I understand that they might not like that but this feels like a case of "wanting to have the cake and eating it".

Unvaccinated pose a threat to other unvaccinated people. There are people who just cannot be vaccinated whether they want to be or not.
