    This is a different argument. This is “anyone who wants the vaccine should be able to have it”. Agreed.

    My point is that assuming that caregivers should get covid vaccines is unscientific and encourages dangerous behavior around those at risk. (Because it implies if you are vaccinated against Covid then you present no risk)

      No, it does not imply that, at all. You are inferring it. Caregivers should get the vaccine, because everyone who does not have a medical reason not to should, because it is scientifically observed to reduce viral load and improve outcomes from an infection. That’s a completely independent statement from masking recommendations.

        This is not an argument about getting vaccinated. You are not reading correctly.

        A caregivers covid vaccination status is irrelevant to the at risk. The covid vaccine does not stop transmission. It will not protect people at risk.

        Putting it bluntly. You being vaccinated will not stop you killing your immunocompromised grandmother with covid.
