Sam Smith - If evangelicals can avoid getting a vaccine because of their religious beliefs, can atheists and agnostics avoid working next to unvaccinated evangelicals because of their own religious beliefs? Or are evangelical beliefs considered more important to the extent that they can cause illness or death among atheists and agnostics?
PS: Atheism does count as a religious belief according to various precedents.

To date, I have been unable to find any official confirmation the vaccination reduces an infected persons ability to pass on the virus. It is solely stated that the vaccination will reduce the severity of symptoms in the vaccinated. Therefore, until otherwise proven, both states of vaccination pollute the air equally. To discriminate thusly is not justifiable.
I am waiting to be corrected on multiple peer reviewed studies that state categorically the vaccine stomps on transmission.
I don't feel comfortable with Post's 'if' 'then' question - apples and oranges.
In response to amaranth farm:
some info: scroll down on site near and including conclusion.

Vaccinated and unvaccinated individuals have similar viral loads in communities with a high prevalence of the SARS-CoV-2 delta variant
"We find no difference in viral loads when comparing unvaccinated individuals to those who have vaccine “breakthrough” infections."
