Even if they literally had no effect on transmission (which is false), it's still a positive for public health because they have massive effect on hospitalization.

Reduced transmission because of the vaccine is not a binary

The net change in transmissibility is either negative or positive. So yeah, “reduced transmission” is a binary. It’s just not easy to measure.

"refuse vaccines which don't work against transmission?"

Pretty sure that's false.

Regardless, if you have antivaxxers taking up a hospital beds and others with legitimate issues missing out on care, I'm sure you can see how this is a public health issue.

There's no way you asked that question in good faith. Not a chance.

While we're at it let's remove the rapists and murderers from hospitals and let them die.

Lets also put a weight limit and a smoking limit on things so people don't crowd resources due to their poor decisions.

These "anti-vaxxers" that are fully vaccinated other than covid can just go rot in the streets /s
