So do we. Which is why people need vaccines, to protect their bodily autonomy against virulent and deadly disease.

Opps left out "are willing'

I'm sorry I just can't understand your view of contagious diseases are ok for "body integrity" and to save RvW.

I'm not sure I'd go with "ok", but rather "better than the alternative". These people are asshats, but that doesn't mean they don't have human rights.

These arguments - that bodily autonomy is less important than saving lives - leads to a lot of really bad conclusions. Chief among them in my mind (largely because of the political realities of the day) is the banning of abortions and all that that entailed (I wouldn't wish forced pregnancy on anyone). But it also involves conscripting, forced medical testing, and all sorts of other violations of bodily autonomy for "the greater good". These arguments WILL be turned around and used on us in the future.

It's important we draw a line in the sand on bodily autonomy. And be willing to pay the price that is the same for every freedom - the blood price.

Even the UN tacitly endorses this position, from their women on health, 1999 recommendation:

(e) Require all health services to be consistent with the human rights of women, including the rights to autonomy, privacy, confidentiality, informed consent and choice;

Some people, such as infants, can't be vaccinated. Others may be allergic to the vaccine. The idea is to vaccinated a very large percentage of the population so those vulnerable people are protected. Look up herd immunity.

This would justify far greater intrusions into bodily autonomy.
