Re: Why Hasn't Anyone Talked About-A Possible Cancellation?

Were any of you alive at the time in the 1950's where the polio vaccine was mandatory? Polio was wiped out thru the vaccination process. And if vaccination is necessary for the public good, you are damn right I would support jailing jerks who refuse to accept the vaccine. And that is not "communism". It is the good old fashion state police power reserved to the States pursuant to the 10th Amendment to the US Constitution. States have always had power to restrict the right of individuals if it is to the betterment of the entire community and the common good. Heck, just look at traffic light which were controversial around the turn of the 20th century. Traffic lights granted one person the right to move forward while restricting the right of another and requiring them to stop until the light turned green. I think the Supreme Court case that addressed that issue was Euclid v. Ambler Realty. So the state almost always has the power to compel individuals to do or not do something if it is in the greater public good as determined by state governments. Police power is not available to the Federal government. It is reserved, as I mentioned to the States by the Tenth Amendment. So yeah, IF it is determined by a state government that a mandatory vaccine is necessary to eliminate this pandemic, I would certainly support the right of a state to throw into jail whatever jerk arbitrarily refused to accept the vaccine (including because they do not like Bill Gates).
