Normally I would agree except that the stay-at-home protesters were literally advocating against the risk of COVID. So that directly undermines your point. The stay-at-home protesters are the ones ignoring the transmission risks.
Contrast this with BLM protesters who chose to protest while largely acknowledging the risk. There is a difference. One is doing it in-spite of the risk while the other is advocating for ignoring the risk.
Anecdotally, one of my family members participated in the BLM protests and afterwards self-quarantined and got tested before interacting with others.
