If COVID becomes much less serious over time (either through pre-existing immunity or effective antivirals) to the point where it's not really a significant burden on society, then vaccination status will no longer really matter to the vast majority of people.

Being antivaxx mandate and pro-life at the same time is more incongruous. The justification for being against requiring vaccination for anything is that no one can tell you what to do with your body no matter how much harm it causes other people. But then how can that logic coexist with the notion that women should be forced to carry a pregnancy to term and have no control over their own body? I have no idea, but I'm guessing it's because these opinions are rooted far more in emotional reactions rather than in any coherent philosophy or ideology.
