Care/harm is not the only moral that exists. Many people think it’s just as immoral to force individuals to inject something into themselves in order to remain employed.

You don't have a moral right to spreading of a deadly disease onto your coworkers (which you may be doing knowingly or not, with much higher probability if you're unvaxed). So you either accept rules that are acceptable to the affected people around you, or stay away from others.

This isn’t the goal of the vaccine. You can and probably will still get mildly ill with newer variants and remain contagious. Vaccination will prevent you from getting seriously ill.

Many people should stop listening to the blathering of right-wing idiots and get with the public health programs of the past century.
Forcing a vax mandate on everyone isn’t fair to people who are genuinely at risk if vaccinated, but the alternative should be WFH where possible or that you move to a different job if WFH physically won’t work. This is literally a public health crisis.
There is a libertarian argument that this is bad for individual liberty, and I am also sympathetic to that. We generally give up some liberty in exchange for living in a society with other people. I can’t walk around my place of employment naked and smoking a blunt without getting fired. You can argue that that’s wrong too, and if so that would mean you’re not a hypocrite, congrats, I salute you.
