For me opposition hinged around a principle of bodily autonomy- I believe no government should have a right to force someone to get a treatment.
Most people whol oudly followed the logic you outlined above did so convinced that the shots were sterilizing and would be a magic bullet solution- which I found absurd during the later phases when it had become clear that they were merely palliative at best. Threatening jobs for people who were 100% work from home was rediculous. I also think people who took the shot had broadly better outcomes- and many people who were against the vax here (usa) were incredibly cavalier, inconsiderrte, spread the virus without consideration of risks, etc. Many of the people have immediately been vindictively curtailing autonomy here- showing they learned nothing from the experience of covid.
Even so-I think it's useful to consider how to handle this if it happens again because very likely we are facing a future with what will likely be engineered viruses in it - having no clear template for dealing with viral outbreaks is now a proven threat/issue.
