You are not using philosophical logic- you are using sophistry to spread misinformation !!

This is NOT just a personal decision- we live in a society. You can say you have the freedom to not get vaccinated but you have NO freedom to infect and kill other people.

This toxic individualism combined with a concept of freedom with no link to RESPONSIBILITY is killing people and keeping the pandemic going.

To your six points

1

The vaccines are still in a trial phase;

The vaccines are TECHNICALLY in trial phase but have been so widely distributed and enacted that we KNOW the results positive and our best mechanism to END the pandemic- and yes we are still in the pandemic largely because of anti-vaxxers and anti-maskers.

2

The vaccinated are contracting the virus;

Yes, viruses mutate but the vaccinated didn't spontaneously get the delta variant- they got it from UNVACCINATED people who keep the pandemic going and the virus spreading and mutating

3

The vaccinated are shedding the virus;

viral shedding is an issue when someone is infected with the virus that causes COVID-19, but not when they are vaccinated against it. [3]

4

The vaccinated are spreading the virus;

Which would not have happened if more people got vaccinated

5

The vaccinated are dying from the virus,

Only ~1500 vaccinated people have died [1]

The overwhelming deaths are from unvaccinated [2]

6

The vaccinated are dying from the vaccine

VAERS received 6,490 reports of death (0.0019%) among people who received a COVID-19 vaccine. [4]

Meanwhile over 600,000 people have died from Covid is just over 2% [5]

That's TWO PERCENT vs .0019%
