I’m sorry, but you’re just not right.
The Supreme Court has repeatedly held that the government has a pretty wide reaching authority when it comes to fighting disease. If the federal government can quarantine entire towns and force vaccines, they can similarly force you to be tested.
- chrisco255 6y agoNo, they haven't. There's no such precedent in U.S. history. They can't quarantine towns from the federal level. Not in the least. A state might be able to, because the 10th amendment is a thing, but Federal government cannot. And neither state nor federal government can force vaccines because it violates the 4th amendment. You don't get to search my body for diseases and use them to discriminate against me. Sorry. Furthermore, Roe v. Wade was argued on the basis of a right to privacy that's implicit. So no, I'm right on this.

I mean, you’re entitled to your opinion, but at least some people disagree. Edit: and, your claim that there is no such precedent is a flat out lie.
- irrational 6y agoNo such precedent? George Washington forced vaccinated his entire army from smallpox. There is precedence from the very start of the country. I am so embarrassed on your behalf.
- bernie_simon 6y agoWikipedia says Jenner first demonstrated the smallpox vaccine in 1796. The revolutionary war ended in 1783.
- irrational 6y agoAccording to a tiny bit of research, it was a crude form of smallpox vaccination, yet still a vaccination.
- ashtonkem 6y agoInoculation, technically.
