The body without an attached soul becomes a vegetable.
Theologans and spiritualists know this well. The soul doesn't provide life, the biological process of the body does that. It doesn't provide energy, food-calories do that. It doesn't even do the thinking, the brain does that. The soul provides the animate spark, the seed that is the core of will that causes a person to do things. To get up, have a goal, seek a need, follow plan, do their job, look to the future.
So to remove the soul from a body wouldn't leave a person in any possible sense of the word. It might be able to walk, look at things, respond to simulai, maybe even seek and eat food. But that won't be a person, it will wander aimlessly, no goals, no direction, not even of the most basic. Left alone It won't even attempt to amuse itsself, it will sit in a corner dumbly until poked, it won't have ANY goal. Even laziest, most degenerate of souls still have SOME animus, even if all they aspire to in a day is get a McD's, get high, and watch Netflix all day, those are goals, drives, and executed will.
And I have to imagine if you were to encounter an actual homunculus, it would CREEPY AS FUCK. Like not a person who is slightly off, but horror movie monster your mind is screaming to RUN RUN RUN levels of creepy. And there is good reason for it. If a body doens't have a human soul attached, things that never were, things that should not be, will attach to and animate that body. Its why there is so much talk about demonic and "evil spirts" possession and how worried religions are about shutting that down.
So no I am not concerned, the soul is more powerful than the contrivances of modern science. There is no vaccine that de-souls a person. What affects your soul is your thoughts and actions. THAT is what matters. From people who are mean and hurtfun in their daily live, to openly horrific criminal behavior, one can easily taint their soul by the choices they make in life, and INTENTIONS matter. Even "good" actions, like feeding the poor, can be corrupting if undertaken for selfish means, such as desire for attention, political gain, or even exploit those they aid. By the inverse, "Evil" actions that are done with good intent still elevate the soul. A great example is killing a bad guy to defend the innocent in a self defense situation.
Now the degeneracy of modern media? Yah that is fucking up people's souls greatly, particularly anything that heads towards the demonic values of enjoying harm caused to the innocent. One doesn't even need to DO the deed, just wishing to do it is actually enough.
Like can't dress themselves and would die of exposure like a shambling zombie.
NOT the morons and stupid people we see walking around here glued to the cell phones. Those are people with damaged souls, thanks to the evils of modern media, their souls are something less than human now. But they still have them.
Nice thinking....
But it doesn't work like this.

Have a look around, we are not short on vegetables.
You underestimate how vegetable I am talking.

Well, I did anticipate the fallout from the Covid 19 vaccinations to render folks into the shambling vegetable state you describe.
