Coercing poor & minority populations into bending to the will of the powerful, and saying it's for their own good has a long and tragic history. I am not sure whether your argument is in bad faith, but it does seem willfully ignorant of history.

Try again, the vaccine saves lives, and in that sense is not comparable to past injustices. It is of course comparable in that it's completely understandable that there is mistrust, but prohibiting people who don't want to be vaxxed from going into public spaces and endangering themselves and others is still a life saving policy. It's not "for their own good" , it's for the good of everyone.
