We now have companies being threatened to fire people if they aren't vaccinated (even if they are the only employee or don't interact with other people for whatever reasons)

I'll agree that firing unvaccinated people that are working from home or otherwise don't need to be around others is unreasonable. That's just not beneficial.

That many of these people will do things like say you can't have a Christmas get-together if there's more than five people or something and you still should be masking and everything during said get-together while, just a short while later Obama had, what was it, 60+ people get together, unmasked, for his birthday party? There's constantly things like a restaurant being shut down for 'health concerns' while, across the street, a movie set has a massive dining tent set up to service it's staff. There's a lot more to it, but I think you get my point.

Hypocrisy sucks, but it doesn't mean the hypocrites are wrong. Just that they're assholes.

That said, a dining tent differs significantly from an indoor restaurant in that it's outdoors and has better ventilation, which does a lot to help with the situation. Serving a defined subset of people is also generally safer than serving the public, since it's a lot easier to ensure all of those people are vaccinated, you know more about their daily lives and what potential exposures they have, you know whether or not you can trust that they've generally been safe about things, and if you do end up with a positive case, you can track everyone on staff that they've been around and isolate them to prevent a larger outbreak. It's not perfect, but the risks are a lot easier to manage than when you're dealing with a bunch of strangers every day.

when we see things like the camps in Australia popping up,

People get really uppity about those, but I really don't see the problem. It's two weeks in a hotel. It'd be nice to be able to trust incoming travellers to quarantine just because they were asked nicely, but the unfortunate reality of the situation is that that hasn't been good enough. Those that can't accept the quarantine can simply not travel to Australia.
