JACOBSON V MASSACHUSETTS
“As the 20th century began, epidemics of infectious diseases such as smallpox remained a recurrent threat. A Massachusetts statute granted city boards of health the authority to require vaccination “when necessary for public health or safety. In 1902, when smallpox surged in Cambridge, the city’s board of health issued an order pursuant to this authority that required all adults to be vaccinated to halt the disease. The statutory penalty for refusing vaccination was a monetary fine of $5 (about $100 today). There was no provision for actually forcing vaccination on any person.”
“Henning Jacobson refused vaccination, claiming that he and his son had had bad reactions to earlier vaccinations. The Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court found it unnecessary to worry about any possible harm from vaccination, because no one could actually be forced to be vaccinated: “If a person should deem it important that vaccination should not be performed in his case, and the authorities should think otherwise, it is not in their power to vaccinate him by force, and the worst that could happen to him under the statute would be the payment of $5. Jacobson was fined, and he appealed to the US Supreme Court.”

Read the last lines carefully, it is NOT in their power to force vaccinate and the WORST that can happen is a fine. He appealed for the fine, he did not have to vaccinate. Doesnt say the worst that can happen is being shunned from society and have all his rights taken away from him.
Also, alwaysask, you dont own this country so please refrain from giving advice as if you are some sort of ruler. You must love being controlled by others.
