For liberty, vaccinate
EDITOR: When anti-vaxxers challenged the smallpox vaccine mandates in the early 20th century, the U.S. Supreme Court rejected any notion that the Constitution recognizes a right to refuse a mandated vaccine. In Jacobson v. Massachusetts, the court stated:
“Real liberty for all could not exist under the operation of a principle which recognizes the right of each individual person to use his own … regardless of the injury that may be done to others.”
Using the Constitution to rationalize selfish beliefs is unpatriotic. If you want real liberty for all, go get vaccinated.

A supremely idiotic decision.
1984, Orwell:
“FREEDOM IS SLAVERY.”
One of the three “Party Slogans”
“Society can prevent those who are manifestly unfit from continuing their kind. The principle that sustains compulsory vaccination is broad enough to cover cutting the Fallopian tubes. Jacobson v Massachusetts, 197 US 11. Three generations of imbeciles are enough.48(p207)
Oliver Wendell Holmes
Jacobson was cited as support for the general principle that public welfare was sufficient to justify involuntary sterilization.”
There is no justification for making them mandatory.
(Also: comparing the China Virus to Smallpox is asinine in the first place)
If there was a 30-40% mortality rate like with smallpox I might consider it. As it stands, I have considered, and I will not take that shot no matter what some black-robed tyrant says.
Dear Nathaniel Raff,
Go Fornicate Yourself.
Do a search on the guy.
When you see what he does for a living...
Nuff said.
The SCOTUS was fine with the Dred Scott decision, too.
Just ‘cuz some black robed fools thought it was okay, doesn’t mean it’s right.
Fact;
The progressive Jacobson supporters also support eugenics, forced sterilization, euthanasia, and forced abortion.
Newspeak. 2+2=5
Combine Gnosticism with Narcissism and you get a fruitcake. I have special knowledge, plus it’s all about me.
Here is the supreme court primary holding:
A state may enact a compulsory vaccination law, since the legislature has the discretion to decide whether vaccination is the best way to prevent smallpox and protect public health. The legislature may exempt children from the law without violating the equal protection rights of adults if the law applies equally among adults.
I don’t think any legislatures have required vaccines.
Tell me again about Real Liberty after you get a Real Vaccine.
“If there was a 30-40% mortality rate like with smallpox I might consider it.”
And the smallpox vaccine had a very unusual feature. Once you got the vaccine, you could no longer get it or spread it. /s
Actually that’s rather Moslem.
Being that Islam means submission, more than “peace”. Peace thru submission.
Freedom through submission is not real freedom either.
And smallpox is a whole different ballgame.
Thanks, Nathaniel, for reminding me of why every Democrat is an unpatriotic POS!
