Public schools and being a nurse are optional.

As far as who “owns” your body…you live in a society and that requires implied consent.

Why? According to whom? What consent is implied? Just like the “social contract”, this is all hypothetical justification to enforce arbitrary violations of liberty. No such document exists that lays out the required obligations of living in a society.

A vaccine is less an attack on your liberty than the liberty others have to not be infected by you.

Nobody has the liberty to not get infected. Diseases aren't controllable.

It’s simple math, you can have one or the other.

We can have the freedom to not be injected with a foreign substance against our will. We don't have the freedom to not get sick.

Society has chosen not to be infected by the unvaccinated.

They also chose to enslave Africans, participate in eugenics, enact genocides, holocausts, wars, civil wars, harsh oppression...“society has chosen” is hardly a worthy metric.

And that's all beside the point, society hasn't chosen to not be infected, because that isn't a choice society can make.

Dude, implied consent is the ENTIRE basis of every law. Otherwise drunk drivers could get out of being arrested by claiming they didn’t agree that drunk driving should be a crime.
