But that authority to require citizens get vaccines:
1) The authority to mandate medical treatments is not in the Constitution so is limited to the States
2) Experimental (i.e EUA) drugs / vaccines, by LAW, can not be mandated
3) No drug or vaccine that has a high probability of harm to an individual can be mandated. You can't require a person to chop off their own hand or blind an eye or commit suicide.
4) Because of #3, the risk of medical harm must be evaluated on a case by case basis -AND- The person who carries the risk (patient) is the one who has to make the assessment.
5) I also assert that collective punishment (denial of services) is a form of Bill of Attainder and is specifically prohibited by the Constitution.
“2) Experimental (i.e EUA) drugs / vaccines, by LAW, can not be mandated”
” You can’t require a person to chop off their own hand or blind an eye or commit suicide.”
I will question one of those requirements. They jolly well can require/force you to commit suicide. If they try to vaccinate me, no thanks. I will take my own life. I’m old and I have lots of left over pills of various kinds. I will be 88 tomorrow. I’ve had a long and happy life. Lately it’s not so great.
