> You can only make that judgment for yourself. Assuming that your judgment works for everyone is highly presumptuous.

Yet people who refuse to get vaccinated seem to have no problem making this judgement for other people that they are likely to spread COVID to, when they fall ill.

When I fall ill, I quarantine. I do not just "spread" it to others.

Other than that, I'm not responsible for the health of other people. They are responsible for their own health.

Covid also spreads asymptomatically, and for a lot of people, days 1-14 of it can feel a lot like a common cold. You need to take preventable measures to not be a potential spreader. Those measures are... Getting vaccinated.

Unless you are living in a spacesuit, you shedding viral particles into common spaces does make you responsible for the health of other people.

If people are vulnerable, they are responsible for taking precautions. If I am sick, even with the "common cold," I quarantine.
