Why don't we learn from the wisdom of the Middle Ages and set up colonies for all the unvaxxed.

Spinalonga on Crete, Greece, one of the last leprosy colonies in Europe, closed in 1957.
A leper colony, lazarette, leprosarium, or lazar house was historically a place to isolate people with leprosy (Hansen's disease). The term lazaretto, which is derived from the name of the biblical figure Saint Lazarus, can refer to isolation sites, which were at some time also "colonies", or places where lepers lived or were sent.[1] Many of the first lazarettes were operated by Christian monastic houses.[2] Leper hospitals exist throughout the world to treat those afflicted with leprosy, especially in Africa, Brazil, China and India.[2]

Leper colonies or houses became widespread in the Middle Ages, particularly in Europe and India, and were often run by monastic orders. Historically, leprosy has been greatly feared because it causes visible disfigurement and disability, was incurable, and was commonly believed to be highly contagious. A leper colony administered by a Roman Catholic order was often called a lazar house, after Lazarus, the patron saint of people affected with leprosy.[3]
Some colonies were located on mountains or in remote locations in order to ensure isolation, some on main roads, where donations would be made for their upkeep. Debate exists over the conditions found within historical colonies; while they are currently thought to have been grim and neglected places, there are some indications that life within a leper colony or house was no worse than the life of other, non-isolated individuals. There is even doubt that the current definition of leprosy can be retrospectively applied to the Medieval condition. What was classified as leprosy then covers a wide range of skin conditions that would be classified as distinct afflictions today.[4]
Some leper colonies issued their own money (such as tokens), in the belief that allowing people affected by leprosy to handle regular money could spread the disease.[5][6]
In 1623 the Congregation of the Mission, a Catholic society of apostolic life founded by Vincent de Paul, was given possession of the Priory of St. Lazarus (formerly a lazar house) in Paris, due to which the entire Congregation gained the name of Lazarites or Lazarists—though most of its members had nothing to do with caring for lepers.
Laoe Si Momo (Spring Water) leper colony was founded on August 25, 1906 in the Batak region of Sumatra, 10 kilometers from Kaban Jahe. Within five months it was home to 72 people affected with leprosy and by April 1921 colony included 280. The patients lived in small houses.
In 2001, government-run leper colonies in Japan came under judicial scrutiny, leading to the determination that the Japanese government had mistreated the patients, and the district court ordered Japan to pay compensation to former patients.[7] In 2002, a formal inquiry into these colonies was set up, and in March 2005, the policy was strongly denounced. "Japan's policy of absolute quarantine... did not have any scientific grounds."[8] The inquiry denounced not only the government and the doctors who were involved with the policy, but also the court that repeatedly ruled in favor of the government when the policy was challenged, as well as the media, which failed to report the plight of the victims.

No way. This is discriminatory! Banish people to an island?
What are you going to do next? Stop them from entering malls? Restaurants? Stadiums? Churches?
If they are banished to an Island they can set up their own infrastructure, monetary system and health system without the risk of them infecting the vaccinated.
However what has still not been made clear is why the vaccinated are worried about the unvaccinated unless, of course, vaccines don't work.
If vaccines are successfully protecting the population from serious illness and death then the vaccinated population should be able to freely mingle with the unvaccinated without undue risk.
