Many employers, including government workers, are being forced by their employers to get COVID vaccines. New York City is also mandating all private sector employees to get the COVID vaccine: https://www.cnn.com/2021/12/06/business ... index.html
If body autonomy rights are such an important right in the case of abortion rights ("my body, my choice"), why is the right to body autonomy not respected in the case of vaccine mandates?
Some will argue that the vaccines save lives, however not aborting babies would also save about a million lives per year in the US and abortion is still allowed because of body autonomy rights. Also, if you hit a person with your car doctors can't force you to give them the accident victim your kidney/organs to save their life because of body autonomy rights.
So why the hypocrisy? The only conclusion I can see is that most people just want whatever furthers their self-interests and don't actually care about the rights of other people, and are therefore hypocrites and tyrants.
PS. I agree with getting vaccinated, I'm not a fan of mandating physical violence on someone to keep their job etc.

All of a sudden these pro-Palestinian campus protestors gladly support illegally occupying land that doesn't belong to them, and enforcing checkpoints, blockades, and ethnic apartheid. Some of them even openly support genocide.
