So the new anti-Vax mantra is "My body, My choice"?

91. In most cases no

but think about something like small pox, a disease that could (and did) wipe-out entire villages and has an extremely large body count. If the choice is between smallpox and non-consensual injection, the non-consensual injection wins every time hands down because the alternative is too ghastly to ignore.

I would always offer three alternatives myself.
1. Get vaccinated of your own accord (which every sane individual who is able to tolerate the vaccines will do)
2. Leave the city/county/state/country/whichever that is requiring vaccination. No reentry until you are fully vaccinated.
3. If you won't leave, you will be vaccinated like it or not. You can prate about freedom all you want, but your freedom does not include the freedom to wantonly endanger the lives of others. No one is that free. Smallpox kills and has killed in large numbers. There is no amount of personal freedom that justifies allowing something like that to go unchecked...especially when there is a simple, effective solution.

I get that governments can use fear and intimidation to do many unjustifiable and terrible things. We see it all the time. The citizenry needs to be ever-vigilant about the government and its doings. But in a case like small pox, where the results of epidemics are understood, the solution is so relatively easy, and the science is so completely understood, then yes, the government needs to enforce vaccination with or without consent.
