I was placed on unpaid leave by my Fortune 100 employer for not getting the injection despite being 100% remote. I will be fired on March 1.

Wow this is ridiculous. I'm not antivaxer and got all 3 shots but I cannot understand this attitude from companies and the legal framework that allows them to act like this. I assume you work in the US?

Santa Clara County has started disciplining workers who don't comply with their booster mandate. (I'm not endorsing punishing workers on that basis, just noting that it is occurring.)

From the opposite point of view, many people consider themselves lucky that coworkers who decided to opt out are expelled/fired.
The focus should be on whether a given imposition has a net positive for society or not, rather than the imposition itself. I actually find it very indicative that the root comment's conclusion is entirely about the ROI for the individual.
It's fair to judge that not boosting doesn't have any net positive for society, but that discussion should be the focus.
You're lucky if opting out is a practical choice for you. For a lot of people now, opting out means being expelled from your school or fired from your job.
