I cannot respond to your rebuttals if you do not tag me.
I don't see how a subjective morality can determine a binding conclusion upon me.
Thus, assuming your moral philosophy of subjectivism and relativism; I see no reason why I should accept your moral opinions; after all, if morality is subjective, it has no bearing on my practice or beliefs.
Perhaps if morality were objective, you would have an argument.
Why should I accept your moral presuppositions if they are merely subjective preferences?
How do you resolve this?

Not only do you weaken herd immunity, but also your own children become vectors.
So, the logical conclusion is that you should confine your own children and not let them out in public.
And this solution is, of course, morally questionable.
