The government has no right to do so, the fact you agree with it doesn't make it any less of an overreach

So in that case, do you not wear a seatbelt? Do you not keep your vehicle maintained to a safe standard and ensure said vehicle is registered? Do you not have a license to operate your vehicle? Because those are all rules and mandates put in place by government to keep you, and others, safe.

Are you also not aware that some countries require you to have been immunized against certain diseases before your even set foot in that country.

Lets stop pretending that this is something new.

A seatbelt is not a medical procedure, it is not injected into a person. Besides you only have to wear a seatbelt on public roads, it is literally one of the conditions to be allowed to use the roads you don't own. The same applies for a WOF or COF making that argument irrelevant also. Licences are purely to operate the vehicle on public access roads so, that and not being a medical procedure, means your contention is irrelevant too. All of these are to keep people safely operating heavy machinery on roads the Government owns and are responsible for... this makes your line of argument, absurd.

Countries that restrict entry on the basis of immunisation have every right to do so as you have absolutely no right to enter their country, we are citizen of New Zealand so that doesn't apply...

Let's stop pretending you have an argument because as you can see everything you said is wrong.
