Well, those people perhaps aren't happily complying with lockdown measures either. It's a matter of how such a scheme would be implemented. One could imagine working with incentives, for example. Alternatively, being able to produce a valid, up-to-date test result at any time could be made mandatory. This might seem draconian but it's a lot less so than unending lockdowns and the perspective of continued social distancing.

That looks like false dichotomy. You can lift lockdowns and not have forced medical procedures at the same time.

  Of course you can but there will be trade-offs. Those procedures (tests, vaccinations) can be entirely voluntary (as they are right now). However, then you could be facing a situation where not enough people get vaccinated or tested for curbing the spread of the virus. Societies will have to decide if they’re fine with the consequences that entails. Personally, I think that lockdowns and any other mandatory measures should be lifted once everyone’s vaccinated who wants to be vaccinated. Others - and societies as a whole - might disagree, though, which from my point of view would be a major problem, especially if continued lockdowns then are still considered the only viable alternative.
