When Ra said "To a mind/body/spirit complex which is starving, the appropriate response is the feeding of the body" is this not what you describe as controlling catalyst? Is your opinion that we should just accept that others are starving and that that is their catalyst to deal with?
Feeding the mind/body/spirit complex when it starves is acceptance of the catalyst of hunger. If out of fear of hunger you start stuffing yourself needlessly and hoard food (like we've seen people do emptying grocery stores at the beginning of the pandemic) when you may not even face hunger at all, then that is more along the lines of attempting to control catalyst.
Part of the argument is failing to see the need of my mind/body/spirit, or most people's mind/body/spirit complexes, to be fed a vaccine they do not need. So your quote does not really make any sense within this context, and this does not deny that it can make sense for the smaller percentage of the population that is more at risk to take precautions either if they do not believe in their ability to deal with this virus, nor that I can take precautions with such people.
To think that absolutely everyone has to take or not to take the vaccine is purely narrow minded.
