While I have already been vaccinated for some time, I agree I find government mandates on health care offensive.  

But Broken soldier has a point..if you were a patient of a doc or nurse, and you got infected from the unvaccinated nurse, then that is a problem.

However, my VA treats "everyone" like they are a "loaded gun", and everyone takes precautions and wears a mask vaccinated or no.  

So, you should not get infected from a nurse "who follows protocols" even if that nurse is infected.  

This would be true of "every disease".  Nurses are not required to have tetanus shots, but its possible you get infected with tetanus or other diseases "in the hospital".  

When I got my knee surgury, my knee surgeon explained "why" I only stayed in the hospital one day:  Your chances at getting infected at the hospital are far worse than at home.  

This means to prevent infections, we need to stay out of the hospital.  My son had a severe cut, and wound up with MRSA almost certainly from the hospital which treated him to PREVENT infections.  This is not uncommon..MRSA is spread in hospitals and can well be deadly.  

We have to walk a "thin line" between philogeny and ontogeny.  (the rights of the group vs the individual rights).  There is even a movie about it.  

While I agree that a community "must be protected" against a mad man with a gun, and I agree shooting the man with the gun is sometimes necessary to protect members of the community, this idea can be carried too far.  

There is a "sweet spot" in between the individuals rights and the rights of the group (community) where both are served well.  God operates "in that sweet spot.
