Yeah. I was being a bit hyperbolic. But there was lots of talk about ways to force vaccination. Including mandates for keeping your job (both in the public and private sector). You might say that a private company can do what they want (and the libertarian in me says yes) but then you need to be consistent on the other side - remember the uproar when Hobby Lobby said they didn’t want to pay for insure that provided abortion services?

I’m really not taking sides here, I’m just pointing out that we should strive for self-consistency in our government regulations. And either you have a right to your body or you don’t. You can’t pick and choose.

Nothing is absolute. You don't have the right to walk around naked. Sometimes your body autonomy is taken away in some scenarios. I don't think the vaccines should be one. Just because people talked about how to encourage vaccines being taken and were upset they were forced to work with unvaccinated coworkers doesn't mean anti abortion policies are good. You're just a troll.

Walking around naked is not bodily autonomy. Deciding what goes into and comes out of your body is.

You'll have your bodily autonomy revoked (you'll be put in prison) if you walk around naked. They are similar things or have similar outcomes.
