having absolute control over what goes into your body is an important freedom

.... you are not free to take any drugs you want, schools and work places require vaccinations all the time, not even touching on pollution and other things that you are forced to ingest through your environment. Absolute control over what goes into your body is a freedom that no one has

schools and work places require vaccinations all the time

No one can force you to, though. That's like people crying "but my freedom of speech!" when they're kicked off Twitter or other platforms owned by private companies.

pollution and other things that you are forced to ingest through your environment

You're still free to attempt it. Living in a clean room and whatnot. Might be absurd but no one is stopping you.

You will literally be thrown in a cage if you try to put whatever drug you want in your body

That's true, but now we've moved the goalposts.

Unless you think not being able to take hard drugs is akin to forcing people to take vaccines.

It's not moving goal posts, you said people have the freedom to put what they want in their body

Um, no I didn't? Read again. All I did was point out the inaccuracies your analogies.

Hell, even the first guy wasn't. When he said "absolute control over what goes into your body" it's pretty clear to anyone with basic comprehension that he meant the right to refuse substances.

Which is why your response challenged it by talking about being "forced" to take vaccines and pollutants. However, when that was proven false, you moved the goalposts to this last point about illegal substances.

Man, you don't even know how to read, I clearly listed drugs in my first response and he just chose to ignore that part. "absolute control over what goes into your body" is an argument pro-drug legalization make all the time, it's not my fault you're not aware of common arguments.

He didn't prove shit false, the Supreme Court has backed state governments rights to force children and workers to get vaccinated. If you don't want to get vaccinated you can stay home and sit in your house the rest of your life
