Which of those mandates require other people to lose their jobs for not getting a chemical injection?

You can get weekly tests.
Having to undergo the inconvenience of weekly tests, to be allowed to do a large fractions of jobs, which makes you undesirable to employers as well to do the cost of testing, is discrimination.
Yes, it's discriminating against people who are putting the lives of those around them at risk.

I'm fine with that.

COVID vaccines don't stop transmission enough to provide herd immunuty, so don't reduce the risk posed to others.

In fact not getting vaccinated makes it more likely one will acquire natural immunity from an infection, and people with natural immunity are less likely to transmit the virus, so it may actually be more protective for others if a higher percentage of the population doesn't get vaccinated and acquires natural immunity.

If not enough people get vaccinated, transmission won’t be stopped.

If the virus has a fertile easily infectable unvaccinated population to continuously mutate in, herd immunity is unlikely to be achieved.

The comment above yours literally just explained that the vaccine does not stop transmission of the virus! You're repeating catchphrases from 12 months ago when the government was insisting the vaccine stopped the spread of the virus; when they knew perfectly well that wasn't true!

There's this thing called convalescent immunity. Maybe don't speak of what you know nothing about?
