Yeah, the Nazis did do a lot of medical experiments on "undesirable people", and so did the Japanese. While I'm strongly pro-vaccination and, working in a hospital, deeply annoyed (an understatement) by the unvaccinated people flooding the ICU, I still think a vaccine mandate is a pretty big consitutional issue. Force-medicating people is really the last resort of the impotent, and it sits really wrong with me. And considering the way things are going, it is completely possible that this could become a yearly thing, what happens if it is the foot in the door for more of these kinds of policies?
- bmn__ 5y ago> last resort of the impotent The quote goes "[…] last resort of the incompetent", see <https://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Isaac_Asimov#Foundation_(1951) https://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Isaac_Asimov#Foundation_(1951)>. Impotent does not make sense here, the state is actually the entity that society grants the greatest power: monopoly of violence and decisions over medical autonomy and life and death.
