The vaccine is no different. Not having it puts both themselves, their co workers, and the public they're dealing with at higher risk. The data is overwhelming on that front despite the protestations that "well you can catch covid anyway with the vaccine so there is no point". One is more immediate and apparent, the other longer term, yet no less real.

So does being metabolically unhealthy, because you're sick more often, and since some disease is communicable, then by definition, you're spreading more disease. Would you dare move to reduce risk by telling a firefighter they couldn't work because they're metabolically unhealthy? "We have data showing you're putting others at risk...you're fired." What road are we going down here, and what is the actual purpose of it?
To bring it full circle, you think Hitler didn't have "data" and "science" to show Jews carried typhus? Of course he did. Was it hogwash, of course it was, but he had it, and the "Good Germans" believed it.
"Oh, but we're different." Sure. Guess we'll see.
