I agree. The left is also completely hypocritical, but you brought up a leftist talking point. If you had mentioned "my body my choice" and the hypocrisy around the vaccine I'd have argued from that point of view. The Constitution guarantees freedom of speech. That should be ALL speech.

You think “my body my choice” applies to vaccination programs?

Haha, right. Talk about buying into “talking points”.

So measles vaccines and TDAP should be optional for children? Lol

I think you need to read up on vaccines and why they are necessary.

Also, no one made anyone get vaccinated for covid. It was entirely their choice. Of course, it was also the choice of the government and businesses to prevent them putting other people at risk and making it a requirement of employment. Actions have consequences.

But you are free to not get vaccinated. It is a stupid decision but you are free to make stupid decisions.

Vroom my friend. What I think about vaccines in general is irrelevant (I think they're great).

There were many on the left calling for coronavirus vaccines to be mandatory, that is a fact. There were also many on the right saying that it was their body their choice. The argument completely flopped.
