To an essential worker, how can they tell if someone is vaccinated or not? This is like when I got citizenship they told us all that as citizens we no longer needed to prove our citizenship (which may be true, but anyone could claim to be a citizen to get this right).


If the essential worker was concerned wouldn't they have gotten vaccinated? In which case, what difference does it make if the other person was vaccinated or not?


Essential worker can a) be an anti-vaxxer or b) unable to get the vaccine for various reasons (allergies).

Now, if it’s a) and you’re arguing that maybe they deserve the risk of infection then that’s another argument.


Or c) still get sick even though they're vaccinated (bad luck or mutations)

I'd be very cautious to say that anti-vaxxers "deserve" the risk. A large part of the anti-vaxxers I know are people who've been down on their luck for a long time, have lost all hope in society and the government, are isolated, and have been convinced by people who prey on those weaknesses.
