Not sure their issue with it either. They're presumably routine tested to ensure they don't have covid, and may have medical or other reasons not to be vaccinated. And as has already recently been emphasised on here getting vaccinated neither stops you getting or spreading covid anyway.
Definite virtue signalling. They're acting more superior because they're vaccinated.

But it does reduce the chance of you spreading it, or having severe symptoms/being hospitalised.
Not much in this world is 100% effective (for example, even though cars have brakes, there are still car crashes all the time, but I don’t hear a widespread outcry for people to be allowed to not have brakes/seatbelts/airbags in their cars), but surely a reduction in infection/severity is worthwhile. According to your logic, wearing a seatbelt is "virtue signalling".

“There is a logical fallacy sometimes referred to as the Nirvana fallacy – that if something is not totally effective, it is useless and not worth using.[2] This is a trope common to anti-science and antivaccine advocates. It seems to be his primary argument. Even if vaccination only halves the likelihood that a healthcare worker will be infected and infect others, that is very valuable.
“And the efficacy against serious illness is much higher than it is against infection and transmission. If anybody – healthcare worker or otherwise – gets ill and blocks a hospital or ICU bed for weeks, because they declined vaccination, they deny treatment to many other people, given that the NHS has far-too limited resources. This is irresponsible.
