That's for sure. I think it also suggests governments have the right to take away rights if acting in the common good. That's
where most all so-called rights are arguable. Like all the road regulations are freedoms given up for the common good.

I still don't see how vaccination wouldn't fall into that category as much as the right to drive at any speed.
The right to own your own body re vaccination seems to me falls apart in the light of the right to abortion.

When the Constitution’s Framers wrote, in the Fifth Amendment, that “no person shall be...deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law,” they were acknowledging that sometimes a person can be deprived of these rights, even though they are part of what it means to be a person.

In other words, a right is one thing, but the freedom to exercise it is something else....

This principle helps explain the difference between “natural rights” and “legal rights.” While natural rights are innately part of being human, and exist prior to any culture or society, legal rights are those that are acknowledged and protected by a given government.So, in the Founders’ understanding, natural rights would include the right to life itself, the right to think for oneself, the right to self-defense, and the right to keep what one has worked honestly for,

[Insert: On that one tax codes take away at least some of that right. So there are many cases where governments limit or take away a right, in the interest of the common good.]

among others.Legal rights would include the right to vote, the specific methods by which fair trials are conducted, and copyrights and patents–all of which might be defined and protected in different ways in different countries or states, based on their particular customs and beliefs.
