I can't ever see it as justifiable to demand that one has to do something just because they exist. There is a huge difference between "you can only get on this airplane if you do x, y, and z" or "you can't drink at this bar unless" vs. "if you are a currently breathing human, you have to get a vaccine."
I mean would you find it more acceptable if the state said "everyone who has a job must be vaccinated?"
There are a bunch of state regulations that effectively impact everyone who is living. Taxes, human waste disposal, nudity laws, existing laws on healthcare, etc.
I would find it acceptable for every individual and organization to decide whether they wish to associate with unvaccinated people or not. Because I believe in freedom of association, the second most important kind of freedom after bodily autonomy which must be wholly inviolable.
It's ironic too that we accept a state forcing us to do something just because we exist, allegedly in the name of saving lives and then those same governments destroy the planet that necessarily sustains all life and serve the interests of capitalists who drain our lives and sometimes turn around and demand that we take lives, that we serve in their armies and kill people we've never met and take it on faith that there's a good reason for killing them.
