Agreed. but I must point out that there are some on FR who do believe that any and all vaccines are unconstitutional.

Perhaps, but we’ve learned much about covid and the covid we experiencing now isn’t the covid that was prevalent in 2020. I’m not so sure that these vaccines have any more risk than other vaccines.
BTW, have you considered that the vaccines maybe one of the principal reasons covid has become less of a threat?
Also, only about 2/3rds of the population has been vaccinated. I’m uncertain if that is sufficient to eradicate a virus as infectionous as covid.
So, if you have a 10% chance of dying from an infection, but a 20% chance of dying from the cure, and government officials force you to take it, you think that is fine then?
You cling to the government fostered fallacy that a “vaccination” that doesn’t not stop people from repeatedly contracting a virus, and does not stop the spread of a virus, is going to magically eradicate a virus.
