Most people are fascists at heart, more than willing to control your body over their own fears and stupidities.

We each get to choose what to do with our bodies so long as we are not intentionally causing harm to others.

Most people won't accept this, thus we shall both be downvoted to oblivion by the ignorant and oppressive.

Not vaccinating does potentially cause harm to others through infection, and someone unvaccinated can only fully prevent such harm by completely avoiding any contact with humans they are not living with; furthermore, such harm cannot be reliably attributed to the perpetrator, so punishment is hard.

Hence, it is reasonable to outlaw being unvaccinated and going out of the house.

Unvaccinated people aren't going to hurt any vaccinated people. It's no worse than being fat or smoking; the worst thing you can say is it increases people's health insurance costs.
