Are the Unvaccinated a Threat to the Vaccinated?

Are the unvaccinated a threat to the vaccinated?

If vaccines are effective, how can it be that a person unvaccinated for a given shot, could be a threat to a vaccinated person who has received his/her shot?

Consider what happens when an American travels internationally to an area where the vaccination rates are much lower than the US, or even non-existent. Does the State Department or CDC give you a pamphlet that says, “Warning- you are travelling to an area with endemic diseases and no vaccination program. Every unvaccinated person is a mortal threat to you”? Or maybe, “ Since you will be in an area with no vaccine herd immunity you must consider your vaccines to be virtually worthless”? No. You are reminded that vaccines can be very effective at suppressing infection, and encouraged to either get booster vaccines or a test to be certain you still have coverage.

What about protecting “those that can’t be vaccinated”?

Immunosuppression is a serious issue for sure; that is because even the most "BENIGN" infection (even for which there are no vaccines) can be dangerous.

If injecting, swallowing or breathing in a vaccine was as safe as wearing a seat belt, it would be a simple question. But vaccines are not seat belts - they are designed to artificially modulate the human immune system!

Vaccines may be compared to seat belts, but they are more like air bags in cars. Air bags can and do go off at the wrong time or explode too forcefully and have killed several hundred people since their widespread use. That is why most vehicles today have switches to turn them on or off, allowing a citizen to choose his acceptable risk level of accident vs. airbag. Vaccine exemptions are the way in which a parent either consents - or refuses - a vaccine for their school child under the growing and aggressive Gov't "vaccine schedule."

Although heartwrenching, should an immunocompromised person’s condition be used to justify the forcing of vaccines on those who wish to avoid a vaccine or not expose their child(ren)? Should an immunocompromised person’s condition be used to justify the exclusion from school of an otherwise perfectly healthy, unvaccinated child? Should an immunocompromised person’s condition be used to justify injecting ingredients that one may not wish to ever consider introducing into the bodies of their children?

Unwanted preventive medical procedures such as vaccines A) may cause harm to the recipient, and B), due to vaccine failure may not even work in the first place. Vaccine failures will always exist, so vaccines should not be viewed as the primary means of protection of immunocompromised children or adults.

And what about shedding from those recently vaccinated? Live vaccines such as nasal flu sprays, chicken pox/shingles vaccines, measles vaccine all have their own issues...and those recently vaccinated and shedding probably pose a statistically greater risk to the immunocompromised.
