You're less likely to transmit if you're less likely to get symptoms and cough all over people, and for a shorter period of time. Yes vaccinations reduce transmission.

They are more of a grey area, between living and nonliving as they do exhibit most required qualities of life. They lack a few, yes. But they also do not fit into the category of nonliving either, as no other nonliving thing exhibits the same qualities that viruses have.Viruses are not 'living' in the true sense of the word.
From the vault: Why are viruses considered non-living?
Viruses are responsible for some of the world's most deadly diseases, including smallpox and COVID-19. But are viruses actually alive? Read on!

Fair enough, the basic drive of any organism is procreation of the line. (If it wasn't, why would it mutate?)
Fair enough, the primary drive of any organism is continuation of the line. If it wasn't, why would a virus mutate (evolve)?Viruses are not 'living' in the true sense of the word.

Why would it mutate? This is in the category of "shit happens". Nature makes mistakes. Thats how evolution works, through successful mutations. Although only about .1% of mutations result in giving the organism a competitive advantage its enough to drive evolution. And it doesn't really take eons to accomplish it since mutations are happening all the time. We tend to think of evolution as something that happens over hundreds of thousands of years, but that is not always the case. See the example below. In response to our rapidly changing environment I would expect evolution to keep pace fairly well.

You proposed NEVER mandating vaccinations
Why?
Well you are talking about health care workers...and I even find myself maybe agree with that (given how the pandemic is going and special considerstions)Six out of ten Americans think mandates are a good idea:
Most Americans continue to support vaccine mandates — and want more
Recent polling shows that most Americans continue to support his mandates so far—and 65% support a universal mandate.<br /> <br /> The survey from a consortium of universities, including Northwestern, Northeastern, Harvard and Rutgers, shows a majority would also support narrower vaccine...news.northwestern.edu

Majorities of U.S. adults are in favor of the main elements of President Joe Biden's plan that requires millions of U.S. workers to be vaccinated against COVID-19.news.gallup.com

Only covidiots don’t think they are a good idea, and no one cares about them.
That's the point. How many people under 21 spend time in a Covid ward?
You absolutely can’t have infected nurses and doctors caring for people who are already sick. That’s just asking for trouble.
Sure...
What are the consequences if someone refuses to get vaccinated in Austria? Some will.

They have just admitted that the “vaccines” could stop working the moment there is a new mutation. And viruses mutate a lot.
So, they know the vaccine’s don’t work very well, they know they will wear off, and they know any new mutations could stop them working completely.
The only thing they don’t know is what the long term side effects of the vaccines are, a fact admitted by Pfizer themselves in their supply contracts:
Now, here’s the all-purpose disclaimer: This is not admitting that Covid19 is dangerous, the pandemic real or in any other way endorsing the narrative.
The current narrative is that:
- The vaccines do not confer immunity or prevent transmission.
- What beneficial effect they do have wears off, they don’t know when.
- They probably don’t protect against new variants or mutations.
- The vaccines have unknown longterm side effects.
The case for compulsory vaccinations is dead…Omicron just killed it.
Going entirely by the mainstream’s own words, and completely on their own terms, any possible case for mandatory vaccinations is dead. The “Omicron variant” killed it, even if it …off-guardian.org
I do Not fundamentally disagree with that...really
Meaning vaxxed people
feel free to tie that non sequitur back to the discussion of "the case for compulsory vaccinations"
There is always going to be a choice. No one is advocating mandatory forced injections. Just like we have laws that segregate cigarette smokers from non smokers to protect the non smokers from the known dangers of secondhand smoke we need to segregate the unvaccinated from the vaccinated because even the vaccinated can get infected. Not everyone has an adequate immune response to the vaccines-less than half of the people on immunosuppressive drugs respond with an adequate antibody level for example-and there are a LOT of those people out there. Kids under 5 can’t even get vaccinated yet. If I had a six month old or a four year old I certainly wouldn’t want her exposed to some idiot who refuses to get vaccinated for no reason other than “I don’t waaaana”.
When is it going to start?
With the coming of the omicron version, it looks like it's starting.
When the ones susceptible are killed the virus has no more candidates and dies off.
It doesn't work like that. If it did, the globe would have been wiped out by the Black Death, or Ebola.
