Absolutely won't.

I've been saving to retire early, I can afford some time without a job.

I'm buying a small cheap house instead of renting, which will reduce my cost of living allowing me even longer without a job.

If I'm able to make it a year without taking the vaccine, I'll be able to quit working entirely if forced to take it.

I advise EVERYONE to check your money management.

Housing cost (mortgage or rent + insurance) should be NO MORE than 30% of you take home pay. 20% is optimal. If it's higher than that, you're living beyond your means.

Learn to shop smart and grow your own food. You can easily grow a nice bit of food in a spare room or yard. If I was able to survive 2008 to 2016 working service industry, you can learn to shop smart and cook. I can feed myself on $100/month if Absolutely needed.

Buy quality items, not cheap items, but don't over pay. $20 Walmart shoes will last far less than quality $60 shoes, for example. Think in terms of $ per time use, not $ per transaction.

Save every bit of money you can and invest smart in stable ETFs and items that provide value. A raised garden bed and compost bins can give you many times your investment returned in food, a broad market ETF will grow faster than any savings account.

Check with your insurance, phone, internet, and other regular expenses frequently. You're probably paying more than you need to because plans change and they don't tell you until you ask.

Good luck. Be smart.
