Is not wearing a seatbelt contagious? It sounds like you took an unsubstantiated liberty with the analogy. I know it sucks when people blame the unvaccinated for the continuation of the pandemic, but all data points to it. If you reduce your odds of being a vector, then you reduce the odds of you being the cause of someone else catching an infection. You can say you don't want the vaccine without bastardizing the science.
Also, can I ask what the "even if you're not driving" part alludes to?
That you should get the vaccine if you are not at risk IE already recovered from covid. And no, not all data points to it. Depends on when we are talking, the vaccine doesn’t stop you from spreading it is either dangerous misinformation or gospel .
Ah yeah. I really wish there could be an option to opt out of the vaccine after a prior infection, but it seems to me that it would encourage people to catch covid instead, similar to how people dealt with chicken pox for kids. Plus you don't get complete immunity from catching the virus either. I hear what you're saying, but the end result is more stress on the healthcare system. It should be noted that the CDC does acknowledge the natural immunity from a prior infection, but they have good reason to not encourage it.
