Thanks for the article, though I question this statement: "Sure, if solid science at the time showed that these shots would stop transmission and be completely safe and effective, then yes, it could be justified." The problem lies in the phrase "solid science," since, as we have seen, data and studies can be manipulated (and have been) to support baseless lies. And NO medical intervention could ever be proven "completely safe and effective"; even the best ones will have some side effects, however mild, and the truth is that most cause at least a small degree of serious adverse events. Moreover, you would never be able to know anything conclusively about safety or efficacy until many years had passed, whereas the coercion happens in the short term. It's simply wrong to force any human to undergo any medical intervention they do not feel willing to take, for whatever reason. Sovereignty over our own bodies must be respected, period.
