I don't want to fully argue that you should be forced to be vaccinated. I do however, want to point out that vaccination isn't just meant to protect you from getting COVID. It is also meant to prevent you from spreading COVID to others. Hence an argument "It's my safety so it should be my choice" is wrong, because it is not just your safety at stake here.

That doesn't mean that it shouldn't be your choice, but it does mean that there is a public stake in whether people get vaccinated. Certain people have medical reasons for opting out. I could see you having psychological reasons for the same. But that doesn't necessarily extend to "anyone can refuse vaccines for any reason".
