No, it isn't. The overwhelming, vast, vast majority of adults who aren't vaccinated are not vaccinated by choice. COVID is far from the only risk to the immunocompromised. Unfortunately, the small percentage of immunocompromised people for whom the COVID vaccines do not provide adequate protection will have to either take extreme measures to protect themselves or accept the risk of not doing so.
I would say there are about 4 reasons why I am going to get my kid vaccinated even though her overall risk is low.
Here is where I differ from you. I disagree who we should be catering to and likely always have been. You put the burden on only those at risk. I make it global. To this point does it sound fair to you to say if one refuses a vaccine then they should be forced to take drastic measures to stay safe? We have an easy answer. We should use it and push for it.
What question have I not answered?

General rule in pediatrics, if with little risk, you can prevent death or serious complications of an infectious disease, you do it, both on an individual and a societal level.Here is some additional pediatric data...and then an article from the LA Times just because...
COVID-19 risks in kids are small, but vaccines can still save lives, experts say
The overall risk for kids is small, but COVID has become a leading cause of death for children, making vaccination as important as ever, experts say.
Makes sense. If you can lower risk all around even more through a vaccine with no significant negatives, why not?
Thank you for being a voice of reason. Really and truly. I wish more understood this.
We recently went to a school board meeting to support a disability awareness resolution. One of the citizen speakers later that night, after the resolution had occurred, used our resolution and called out the two disabled children (including my daughter) who were there saying it was child abuse that they were wearing masks.
That is not enough money to drive a bus full of other people's kids......
I’m not sure there is enough money for me to do that personally…the 11 hrs/week I spend driving DD to weekly appts is enough time on the road around here for me.
I volunteer a lot in schools, and I kind of agree with you. I do think the middle school busses are decent but dang. There's a reason why some buses had to have aids on them. And I love kids.
My Junior High School bus driver in NY (middle school for a lot of other states) was a great at keeping us under control. We called her "Rambo" because she dressed kind of like the Rambo character and wore fingerless driving gloves. We were all afraid she would kick our butts for getting out of line. She was no nonsense but there were never any issues on our bus!

We've known this.Vaccinated just as likely to spread delta variant within household as unvaccinated: study
People who have received COVID-19 vaccinations are able to spread the delta variant within their household despite their vaccination status just as easily as unvaccinated individuals…
If Delta spreading as other COVID-19 spreading will be down to low, then the pandemic will be over by Spring 2022.
Wow really? Cool.
