What do you mean by "something like covid"? Covid-19 has resulted in over 2 million deaths, 400k of which are in the US. It has brought the US life expectancy down by a full year. The death rate varies by age, but is roughly equivalent to a full year's worth of mortality risk, concentrated into a single event. And we fundamentally do not know what other long-term risks there are from it. The vaccine carries less risk than the disease. "Something like Covid" is exactly the sort of disease that should be vaccinated against. The only reason why this is being done at an employer level rather than at a government level is because the federal government under the previous administration plugged its ears and refused to acknowledge the severity of the disease.
