I would say that there is not a single non-religious human being on this planet.
Human rights are a religion - they don’t exist. We made them up so we can coexist; and so that we can improve the quality of our lives.
What makes discrimination wrong is that it diminishes the well-being of the discriminated against.
So you are welcome to insist that your well-being is being diminished by vaccine mandates but it would be a peculiar argument since most people are choosing to vaccinate because it improves their well-being.

It's about the inherent quality of the decision being made irrespective of who makes it. Of course it's your choice to drive your car into a wall at 200km/h, but in the way society uses the word "objectively" and "true" it is objectively true that driving into a wall at 200km/h is detrimental to your well-being. And it is objectively true that in doing so you are making a bad decision. In the same way that is objectively true that seatbelts save lives, it is objectively true that vaccines save lives. Therefore not doing what's conducive to your well-being is a bad choice. The metrics, measurements and methods used to arrive at these conclusions are as objective as empiricism allows for. >Those who don't want to vaccinate also choose to do so because it improves their well-being Yes. They using the exact same words. Are you convinced by their arguments? I am not. What I am convinced of is how intellectually dishonest they are in parroting words without bringing evidence to the table.
