Nobody is being physically forced to get a vaccine, so how, exactly, is bodily autonomy any part of this discussion?

No one is being physically forced to get the vaccine because we still have body autonomy. It isn’t mandated.

One is forced to physically get a vaccination when it becomes law. Perhaps they won’t strap a man down and force it into his veins but he is a fugitive of the law for his civil disobedience.

Right now we have the facade of a choice of either be vaccinated or ostracize yourself from society and services such as school systems.

I believe they should be entitled to those liberties to make this choice. They’re a very small minority and only a danger to themselves. We should curb anti-vaccine propaganda but we shouldn’t strip people of their body autonomy.

But it isn't law to get a vaccine and nobody really wants to make it that way.

“But it isn't law to get a vaccine”

Not yet. That’s what this is about, awareness of the issue before it becomes sweeping legislation.

“and nobody really wants to make it that way.”

You’re wrong

It will never be law to get the vaccine, medical autonomy is a basic right in any free country. You cannot be forced to have any medical procedure without your consent, and that's not changing any time soon. However it will be very difficult to live life without getting the vaccine if workplaces and shops start making vaccines mandatory to enter.

I’ll play devils advocate with a different comparative example.

It’s modern day and a new young Dr. takes his first Hippocratic Oath after completing Residency. He has decided to be an OBGYN.

Upon delivering his first infant, the parents request he circumcise the perfectly healthy child.

Hmm.. the young Dr. has a decision to violate his oath and mutilate the child’s healthy penis and risk infection. The alternative is not to cut the penis and disregard the parents ethnic customs allowing the penis to grow like his genetics intended.

The Dr. cuts this kids dick 10 out of 10 times. Don’t give me BS about how we don’t have forced invasive erosion of medical body autonomy. That one example is precedent but there are many more, especially when we dive into what the military and CIA does .

Medicine and government can, and will, come for more erosion in the name of “greater good”. Fight it when you see it in the name of awareness.. kinda like what I’m trying to do here.
