1%-2% of those infected naturally to reach natural herd immunity will possibly die.
I think infection fatality is quite a bit lower than that, more in the ballpark of 0.2 - 0.4%. And, a large majority of those fatalities are old and/or sick.

Vaccines are quite safe. ncbi.nlm.nih.gov

Also, remember that most CoViD vaccines will not use any weakened “attenuated” viruses — they will be aimed against the spike protein on the surface of the virus [to my knowledge]. Once the spike protein is neutralized by the antibody, the virus is no longer able to connect to the receptors and to invade cells.
