I think the problem specifically as it relates to the military is that the Federal government can do whatever they want with soldiers except for violate certain enumerated Constitutional rights. And a right to bodily autonomy has never been recognized, whether that is supposed to be implicit in the Constitution or not. In other words, if they are trying to force the vax on civilians, you can argue it's outside their purview (although apparently the Supreme Court has ruled it's totes cool.) With respect to soldiers, the scope of the Federal government is much greater. For instance, consider freedom of movement. Civilians basically have that right. Soldiers don't. The government can restrict their travel even in their off time.
I think that the Constitution should contain a right to bodily autonomy. I don't know that it does. You could argue analogous things in the 4th amendment, but it seems actually unanticipated by the Bill of Rights. I don't think they anticipated the government trying to stick something in you. They do seem to have anticipated the government trying to extract something from your person, hence the prohibition against unreasonable search and seizure.
The constitution enumerates the powers of government technically most of the federal government is unconstitutional at this point but they will never rule that. The powers enumerated to the federal government were interstate commerce and war powers to declare war on foreign entities. Those are the only powers they were ever given. Further more the constitution enumerates some of the inalienable rights in the Bill of Rights and also the constitution. The founders actually fought over weather any should be included in the constitution because they were afraid that since they couldn't list all human rights only the ones specifically named would be taken as the only rights a citizen has. Exactly what has happened and implicit rights not named are now not considered rights even though the founding fathers never intended that.
