No one should ever make vaccination compulsory as it would be a violation of their human rights.

The rest of us has rights too, including the right to life. It's a tad ironic that many of the anti-vaxers are the first to cry about loss of freedoms yet herd immunity only works if a critical mass get immunised allowing us to get on with life. We've diseases that were more deadly than Covid such as Smallpox which had a 50% death rate yet it was immunisation that saw that one off. And so on.
If people like you really believe that the vaccine is dangerous or that Bill Gates is using it to program our minds or whatever, then go vaccine-free. Just don't expect to have the same civil liberties as those who have chosen to lower their risk. It's no different to many things already in place, no Yellow Fever jab and you are not allowed in to any country where it's found. No if's no but's. That's the rules.
