The benefits you receive from living in a country with a social safety net come with certain obligations. If you reject those obligations you give up some of the benefits.
Social safety net is supposed to keep any citizen from falling through "the cracks" rather than a privilege for those who will comply with the sometimes tyrannical dictates of the government.
That's part of the social contract. The obligations go both ways, and there's a limit to how much the individual is owed. If you get hit by a bus you get medical care. If you push other people in front of the bus you get penalized.
Being unvaccinated means you're a greater risk to those around you.
The problem is who decides when, where, and how you get vaccinated. Big pharma has trail of bodies in third world countries where they went ahead with vaccines that were not ready and instead ended up killing people, including children. If the vaccine was 100% safe, 100% effective, and everyone involved had the purest motives, then you would have a point. But the vaccine is not safe, it is not effective, and the motive of those involved is questionable. But you go ahead ahead and enjoy your shots. Just following orders.
Not relevant to covid testing. There hasn't been enough in Africa, for instance. https://www.healthaffairs.org/do/10.1377/hblog20210112.870609/full/
"Vaccines are the best defense we have against infectious diseases, but no vaccine is actually 100% safe or effective" https://www.cdc.gov/vaccinesafety/ensuringsafety/history/index.html
It provides the best outcomes in terms of protecting the vulnerable and freeing up the healthcare system to handle "normal" health procedures.
This is a global pandemic. Vaccines reduce the number of people hospitalized and/or dying. https://duckduckgo.com/?q=are+the+vaccines+effective&t=h_&ia=web
