Any pilot that believes so strenuously that "Karen from Facebook" has all the answers when it comes to vaccines is not the dude I want behind the yoke when I am in the back. If a failure of some sort occurs, I want the crew to consult the aircraft manual for the correct procedure to fix the issue, rather than instead decide that there was a you-tube video last week from a 13 year old that showed an alternative solution, and we'll take their advice.

Except that those making the Mandate are not pilots either and vaccines have nothing to do with what pilots do.
Since we're going to allow Companies to just make up laws why stop at vaccinations. You won't mind then if your company mandate all those over age 40 that are overweight and or have diabetes are in a high risk group to both yourself and those you work with, we therefore mandate those in that high risk group to resolve that condition by November 15. This is made after careful consideration of the undisputed science.
On that basis you'll be more than happy with that.
