That's a rather idiotic non-sequitur assertion.
You're stipulating by fiat that the unvaccinated are less likely to get infected when you say that one faces a greater risk sitting next to the vaccinated.
It's certainly true that the vaccinated can be infected, and can pass on the virus, like the unvaccinated. The difference is potential degree to which the virus, and associated disease, can progress in the vaccinated vs. the unvaccinated.
It doesn't really matter whether you're infected by a vaccinated person, or an unvaccinated person, if you get the virus. What does matter is the degree to which the disease may impact you, should you get infected.
If you're a vaccinated person sitting next to a vaccinated person, you can still get infected. Chances are very low that either of your will suffer significant complications.
If you're an unvaccinated person sitting next to a vaccinated person, you can still get infected. Chances are very low that the vaccinated person will suffer significant complications. You, not so much.
The vaccinated are also far less likely to become infected, or to transmit the virus to others.
At this stage, give the numbers who have been vaccinated, the sample is more than adequate to have evaluated the effects and side effects. The vaccination process may have started out as an emergency authorization, and experimental in nature. That is no longer the case.
Personally, I'm vaccinated, and when opportunity allows, I'll pick up the booster, as well. Do as you will. It makes no difference to me. If you attempt to make stupid assertions such as the unfounded notion that the vaccinated somehow present a greater health hazard to you or anyone else, insofar as the virus is concerned, expect to be called out on it. If you're going to cry that the sky is falling at least find a leg to stand on.
