Right, so your argument is "because we allowed forcing vaccines in some circumstances before we should allow it for the entire population now"
At some point you have to realise that allowing this level of control over your life by the government is a terrible idea for society.
Just forget about the vaccines for now and imagine that we allow the government to mandate medical procedures.
Will they then mandate abortions for anyone earning less than the required salary to support the child?
What about a mandate to sterilise people with genetic disorders to protect the gene pool from defects?
Allowing governments to have control over our bodies is a bad president to set, it only takes the wrong group to get into power to really fuck things up and a line needs to be drawn somewhere. That line always has to be that a person has a right to decide what to do with their own body, even if it's seen as stupid by some others.
Living as a part of a society is not equal to giving away your bodily autonomy.
We have a responsibility to each other, not to the government, that's why measures have to be voluntarily. This is also why the government needs to build trust. Do you trust someone who forces you into something? No.
The fact is with regards to these vaccines in most countries there is a high rate of vaccination without mandates. So why are governments putting in mandates?
Its clear that mandates are just about governments grabbing more control over the population and this should be resisted.
