The benefits you receive from living in a country with a social safety net come with certain obligations. If you reject those obligations you give up some of the benefits.
Social safety net is supposed to keep any citizen from falling through "the cracks" rather than a privilege for those who will comply with the sometimes tyrannical dictates of the government.
Not much of a safety net when unelected health officials can make up rules as they see fit, especially when you consider that their decisions are heavily influenced/decided by business interests or knowing they have to "tow the line" or lose their job.
Excerpt from Bonny Henry's book:
"I was fully aware, however that if I were wildly offside with what the provincial health minister and government believed, it could make my position challenging, and that if I was too far off the mark too often, the government could render me ineffective or fire me all together".
Great, in her own words she admits that she had to just play ball and do what she was told or be canned. Rather than do the right thing she took the money.
That's part of the social contract. The obligations go both ways, and there's a limit to how much the individual is owed. If you get hit by a bus you get medical care. If you push other people in front of the bus you get penalized.
Being unvaccinated means you're a greater risk to those around you.
Just because someone is unvaxxed does not mean they are a danger.
Natural immunity is better than vax "immunity."
Vaccinated people may be asymptomatic spreaders.
Hospital admission stats show they are more likely to wind up there than vaccinated people. Here are the figures for some Ontario hospitals: https://covid-19.ontario.ca/data October 25, 2021
In order to get natural immunity you have to survive covid first.Some people don't, some take a long time to recover, and others do not - so far - fully recover.
And if too many people get covid then the hospitals are overrun and people with "regular" health issues have their treatment delayed.
“The data accumulating shows that you can spread [the coronavirus after being vaccinated], no doubt,” Dr. William Schaffner, an infectious disease specialist at Vanderbilt University in Tennessee, told Healthline, “but less so and for a shorter time.” https://www.healthline.com/health-news/vaccinated-people-may-be-even-less-likely-to-transmit-covid-19-than-previously-thought October 18, 2021
Even if you're a violent homicidal thug you're still entitled to certain rights--as far as I know you can't be denied food, shelter, and medical treatment in retaliation for any evil acts you commit. That's what sets our society apart from many other parts of the world which have few if any human rights. By your logic we should be denying medical care to people with HIV/AIDs, especially those who engage in unprotected sex, because of the threat they have and still do pose to society.
How did we get from "the vaccinated receiving special privileges' in the article OP referenced, to your statement about being "denied food, shelter, and medical treatment"? I thought we were talking about not getting into gyms, restaurants, and so forth, without proof of vaccination.
I believe they go to jail, where food and medical care are available.
"A number of offences have been applied in HIV non-disclosure cases, including aggravated sexual assault and aggravated assault. While failing to disclose other sexually transmissible infections (STIs) prior to sexual activity could also invalidate consent to that activity, most cases that come to the attention of law enforcement concern HIV."

The problem is who decides when, where, and how you get vaccinated. Big pharma has trail of bodies in third world countries where they went ahead with vaccines that were not ready and instead ended up killing people, including children. If the vaccine was 100% safe, 100% effective, and everyone involved had the purest motives, then you would have a point. But the vaccine is not safe, it is not effective, and the motive of those involved is questionable. But you go ahead ahead and enjoy your shots. Just following orders.
Not relevant to covid testing. There hasn't been enough in Africa, for instance. https://www.healthaffairs.org/do/10.1377/hblog20210112.870609/full/
"Vaccines are the best defense we have against infectious diseases, but no vaccine is actually 100% safe or effective" https://www.cdc.gov/vaccinesafety/ensuringsafety/history/index.html
It provides the best outcomes in terms of protecting the vulnerable and freeing up the healthcare system to handle "normal" health procedures.
This is a global pandemic. Vaccines reduce the number of people hospitalized and/or dying. https://duckduckgo.com/?q=are+the+vaccines+effective&t=h_&ia=web
