With that attitude, we'd still be dealing with smallpox.
There are definitely cases where it should be mandatory.
No vaccine is 100% effective. Letting people decide to be infected means that they infect others, and kill them.
Getting everybody vaccinated meant that the disease became extinct, so nobody dies from it anymore.
Mandatory treatment when not getting treated can kill other people is perfectly acceptable.
Why kill when there are less damaging options available?
No thanks.
