I think you're confused on what the word 'actively' means.

'Actively' seems to be accurate for the scenario when one is choosing to make body conducive to incubate virus, or already incubating them (albeit unknowingly if asymptomatic).
[Edit] And if you meant active in context of 'Active shooter', then still use of the word active is not wrong. Virus laden body is like carrying a concealed gun which is on 'auto pilot', it is actively spraying bullets; it IS active all the while.

I can't think of a single person I know that hasn't ducked down to the shops to pick something up when they have the flu. By your definition, they are actively attempting to cause harm to others - which is an interesting take.

Even before covid, I would always wear a mask if I had a flu and would try as much as possible not to go to shops or pick up anything. A lot of people I know do the same.

I haven’t “ducked down to the shops” when I’m ill. It’s not that hard to keep necessities around.

I'm vaccinated myself and basically I have the same opinion as you. But David Bennett also actively chose to stab someone seven times in 1988 - "only" leaving him paralyzed, but probably with the intent to kill him? Ok, he probably served time for that and it was a long time ago, so judicially you can consider him rehabilitated. My argument was that once you refuse to treat (former) criminals, that's a slippery slope. And apparently I was right, since some here seem to consider people who choose not to get vaccinated worse that violent criminals...

Worse? No. The unvaccinated are far more likely to get sick or die as a part of any medical procedure right now just because of the base risk of COVID in hospitals. If you can’t take the first step to protect yourself and others, there’s not much health care providers can do to change your mind.

What about giving a life extension to someone who stabs other people?
The recipient of the heart transplant, David Bennett, actively chose to be a danger to people around him.
The non vaccinated are actively choosing to be a danger to people around them.
It is like actively carrying concealed unlicensed gun which can silently and anynomously fire at people.
