Yeah, I too fail to see the problem. I'm fully vaxxed and am not at all opposed to vaccines. In fact, I believe in vaccines so much, I don't care if anyone else is vaxxed or not - because my vaccine works.

On the other hand, I am opposed to nosy ass businesses and would definitely appreciate knowing which establishments are gonna waste my time with that crap so I can avoid them.

Your vaccine works now. Why do you believe it will work for the rest of your life?

While it works against the main COVID-19 variants, it might not work against some evolutionary accessible variant.

New variants require a non-immune host population for natural evolution to occur.

The more people with COVID-19, the more likely there will be some mutation that affects vaccinated people.

This is why the flu shot doesn't carry life-time immunity against influenza.

Therefore, even if I'm only using egotistical reasoning, my understanding of how vaccines work make me care that others also get vaccinated - it reduces my future chance of health problems.
