Sacrificing the "freedom" (as some like to call it, I say selfishness) to not get a little boo boo from a needle and having the sniffles for 6 hours keeps everyone in society safe from horrible fucked up diseases, including those who legit can't get vaccines because of weakened or deficient immune systems.
The reason many of these diseases seem like a myth or "just the flu bro" to antivax morons is because of herd immunity and society spending decades eradicating these diseases so no one has to experience them.
The vaccines are not going to harm the vast majority of people, and will instead help millions have increased quality of life. There is no reason for them to not be mandatory.
