Don't act like this is new. You people don't know your history. Forced quarantines go back a long, long time. Tuberculosis, in the 19th Century Consumption, had no cure, and people with it weren't allowed certain types of work. Example: Typhoid Mary. Forced vaccinations? It depends, and it depends on the exemptions that were always given. This is all under the general police state power of the government. You can't escape it but by going into the woods.
The problem with covid, is we didn't need quarantines nor a vax for it, as opposed to, say, a small pox out break, which kills 2/3 of the people who got it and which happened up until the 1950s.
Here's the text from the law:
Ordering an individual to be examined, tested, vaccinated, treated, isolated, or quarantined for communicable diseases that have significant morbidity or mortality and present a severe danger to public health. Individuals who are unable or unwilling to be examined, tested, vaccinated, or treated for reasons of health, religion, or conscience may be subjected to isolation or quarantine.
a. Examination, testing, vaccination, or treatment may be performed by any qualified person authorized by the State Health Officer.
b. If the individual poses a danger to the public health, the State Health Officer may subject the individual to isolation or quarantine. If there is no practical method to isolate or quarantine the individual, the State Health Officer may use any means necessary to vaccinate or treat the individual.
At one time, there were forced sterilization laws in the United States, that the Supreme Court upheld as constitutional under the rational of "three generations of idiots is enough". Legislatures, after the WWII eventually undid them.
The constitution means whatever the judges say it means, and unless the judges are overridden (which does occasionally happen) they find a "penumbra" or "original intent" or whatever legalese they want to make something constitutional.

Still unconstitutional

Wow. They really are pretty much all corrupt aren't they?
