If you want to live in any sort of civilised society, there *will* be sacrifices. Some of them, like helping the community as a whole (including yourself) be healthier mean you need to do things like getting vaccinations.
When States and countries are formed they make laws, bylaws, etc. for the betterment of the people. To accomplish and enforce those things, taxes are collected and positions of authority (police, health officers and such) are deputized.
People who choose to live in the country - or choose to continue to live in it if the choice was not initially made them - must abide by those things the government put in place. If you do not want that, you are free to move elsewhere.
In extreme cases like a pandemic, governments can actually mandate people to get vaccines. Nobody to date has been mandated. There are, however, mandates for things like wearing a mask or carrying proof of vaccination. Big deal. This is not and infringement of rights. Nobody has yet shown where in the Constitution your were given the specific right to not follow public health laws or policies.
Wearing masks and getting vaccinations have been proven to significantly reduce transmission. If you you think your non-existent right means you can put others at higher risk then fuck you because you are an asshole who just "doesn't like being told what to do". Hey idiot, your boss tells you what to do all the time. Spouses often do too. The cop telling you you can't drive on a street because there was and accident or shooting is as well. Stop being a child and care about someone other than yourself.
(Please don't respond with some childish argument like you work for yourself or you're not married)
