Sure they might have different principles than me. So do people who support child marriage in India.
I have no qualms about outlawing child marriage though. Maybe that is ultimately relative and maybe it is western arrogance. I'm fine with it.

Ultimately I think you're arguing that the greater public good invalidates personal freedom and body autonomy. I disagree with you, as many others would as well.
We're talking about an individual making their own health choice.
Not to mention, the "safe" and "effective" vaccines, according to all available data, are nothing like what they were advertised as.
Hell, the President of the USA came out and said you won't get covid if you get the vaccine. And no journalist is calling him out on this obvious lie.
Given that environment, it seems strange to have any vitriol to those who aren't submitting to the new biosecurity state.
And businesses making their own employment choices.
> new biosecurity state.
Vaccine mandates are nothing new - I was required to get vaccinated to go to my public school.
> I don't see it as moral relativism.
You literally said the "best" choice is relative. Your entire stance is deeply relativistic at its core.
> And no journalist is calling him out on this obvious lie.
I don't see the relevance of what Biden says to my point at all, seems like a jump in logic. And:

Does this include a federal government vaccine mandate?

An appeal to tradition/authority doesn't make it any more tenable. The anti-mandate position is precisely (at least in part) that they should have autonomy over their own body.

You're having a discussion with two different people. The comment you're responding to was not me. We are making different points.
I don't know why people deceive themselves that these are similar in any way.
