You're opposed to... people pointing out the consequences of your actions? Social pressure to protect the well-being of others?
I got all vaccinations and took basic safety precautions (washing hands regularly during flu season, etc) pre-COVID. I have always balanced the health of others with pragmatic limitations on my ability to take precautions. Now is no different; there's just extra weight on the "caution" side of the scale while a novel and dangerous pathogen spread around. I will continue to take as many precautions as are practical and necessary given world events.
Nobody is forcing you to do anything. But I don't see how it's unfair to have a social standard of caring for others.
