Of course it does, it violates many things (the right to medical treatment without coertion, anybody?). I am doubly vaccinated for COVID and have been getting flu jabs yearly. I'm as far away from anti-vaccine as one can be. But the fact of the matter is that people are too afraid of COVID (https://www.brookings.edu/research/how-misinformation-is-distorting-covid-policies-and-behaviors/ https://www.brookings.edu/research/how-misinformation-is-dis...) because of the media (for example overestimate the risk of getting hospitalized by the factor of x5), and in that anxious state don't think rationally.
There is also an additional factor, which is - people are tired of the pandemic and getting angry at the unvaccinated allows them to vent. It's also really good for politicians because they can redirect the anger from themselves to a fraction of the population.

- jimmygrapes 5y agoDoubtful, since millions of people die or are permanently disabled from a large variety of preventable causes which do not get anywhere near the same media attention or public fear.
