Today in Labor History February 20, 1905: The U.S. Supreme Court upheld the constitutionality of Massachusetts's mandatory smallpox vaccination program in Jacobson v. Massachusetts. There were lots of problems early on with the vaccine. For one, they reused needles, causing the transfer of syphilis from infected to uninfected people. They also had problems with bacterial contamination of the vaccine that made some people sick. On the other hand, because of the global mandatory vaccination program, the disease was eradicated in 1977, the only human disease to be completely wiped out. Keep in mind that as recently as the mid-1950s, over 2 million people were dying annually, worldwide, from the disease.

With respect to personal freedom, the Court ruled in Jacobson that individual liberty is not absolute and is subject to the state’s use of police power. Consequently, Jacobson has been invoked in other Supreme Court cases to justify police power. The ruling led to a mobilization of the anti-vaccination movement and the creation of the Anti-Vaccination League of America. The Jacobson ruling was later invoked to support the eugenicist forced sterilization of people with intellectual disabilities (Buck v Bell, 1927); the federal partial abortion ban (Gonzales v Carhart, 2007); drug testing of students (Veronica School District v Acton, 1995); and, most recently, COVID mitigation mandates, like face masks and stay-at-home orders.

This is the #DisintegrationChecklist. #TheChecklist of what we can expect to lose in the next four years. That makes it a tool for gauging the progress of loss. 43 items. A grim countdown score in the form of a simple number: how many are still left? That is the #DisintegrationScore. 43... for now.

Keeping track of this #DisintegrationChecklist, & the
#DisintegrationScore, is not a silly thing. I am not trying to #gamify the #apocalypse. It is a concrete measure, and if it is widely shared, it will make apparent even to the distracted the accelerating loss. A tool for those capable of caring.

@dalias @Alice Yeah, it's the equivalent of waving a loaded gun in the face of a former PoW with severe PTSD:

Begging for a nonverbal act of self- and/or mutual defense!

At this point it'll just be a matter of time until someone somewhere will flick their safey off and we can all hope it'll only end in the #AntiMasker laying flat on the ground and not flatlined or in need of an ICU.

#MaskMandates should've never been lifted and the fact that there ain't anymore nor #VaccineMandates is an act of #democide and #genocide against those most vulnerable!

Donald #Trump vowed at a rally Tuesday that if reelected, he’ll cut funding to every school with a #vaccine mandate.

Public #schools in all 50 states have #vaccinemandates.

If he followed through, no school in the United States would receive #federalfunding. All 50 states and Washington, D.C., have laws requiring specific vaccines for students, including measles, rubella, chickenpox, tetanus, pertussis and polio.

#Republicans have been refusing to fund #infrastructure improvements for decades. It's at the point where even mentioning #InfrastructureWeek is immediately recognized as a joke. When the #KeyBridge collapsed, they rushed to blame everything and everyone but themselves. It's was #immigrants! It was #Biden! It was #PeteButtegieg! It was #chemtrails! It was #vaccineMandates! It was #transgender folks! It was #ISIS! It was #RussianIntelligence! It was anything but the #GOP!

"And that sucks"? Really? Are you just gonna gloss over the fact that thousands if not millions of people have suffered adverse medical effects because of poorly thought out, poorly researched, and poorly implemented vaccine mandates?
It's one thing to be pro-vaccines. I too am. Have gotten pretty much all the vaccines that have been mandated till date in India, but that doesn't mean I discount the concerns others have regarding vaccine safety.

“Indeed, Poilievre has not toned down his rhetoric against the vaccine mandates imposed by Ottawa at the start of the COVID-19 crisis, in which some 54,000 Canadians died.

It’s easy to understand why Poilievre keeps returning to this fight over vaccine mandates. It stokes the fires of his hardcore base of far-right, conspiracy-theory driven supporters, who he covets

..Poilievre remains offside with the vast majority of Canadians when it comes to #VaccineMandates.”
