The Sordid History of Vaccine Mandates and its Inevitable Result


“I follow the science.”

This is the refrain repeated ad nauseum by the leaders of the free world.

In reality, it is just a nonsensical refrain that usually follows many of the most unscientific statements ever uttered.

The Sordid History of Vaccine Mandates and its Inevitable Result

In 1905 Henning Jacobson refused to take a [[:smallpox vaccine]] due to a family history of [[:adverse events]]. The city of [[:Cambridge]] MA had required the vaccine with a $5 fine for noncompliance which the defendant refused to pay. The case spiraled up to the Supreme court which ruled in the landmark case of [[:Jacobson v. Massachusetts]] that States have a right to order the vaccination or require the defendant to pay a monetary fine.

==== NYC Private Sector Mandates 2022 ====

September 20, 2022 

Tuesday morning, Mayor Eric Adams, flanked by a masked Health Commissioner Ashwin Vasan and Chancellor David Banks, ceremoniously lifted the private-sector COVID vaccine mandates for the city.

As a parting gift, former Mayor Bill de Blasio implemented the mandate, forcing all workers to have their first shot by Dec. 27, 2021, the first dictate of its kind in the nation. De Blasio would then hand over the office five days later, leaving pesky implementation on newly minted Mayor Adams’ doorstep.

Approximately 184,000 businesses and millions of their employees were bound by this mandate. Adams could have been a hero on Day One of his administration by lifting the mandate but instead chose to let it ride out. In June, Newsday first reported that the mandate was not being enforced by the administration.
