Opinion | LevinsonJessica: Here's what Marjorie Taylor Greene's Covid tweet gets very, very wrong
across the country are now mandating vaccines against Covid-19. One assertion that skeptics continue to circulate, and which Greene indicated in her tweet, is that “vaccine mandates and passports violate individual freedoms.”
Legally speaking, this is just not true. It is legal, under some circumstances, for the government and private businesses to require you to inject a substance into your body as a condition of entering a public space or being an employee. As recently as last week, a panel of federal judges allowed a vaccine mandate to go into effect.Importantly, these federal rulings are not being made exclusively by liberal judges allowing the government to intrude further into our lives.
The legal theory behind allowing mandatory vaccines is straightforward and was long ago ingrained in our jurisprudence. As Judge Frank Easterbrook, who wrote the decision regarding Indiana University, , this is in light of a 1905 Supreme Court decision “which holds that a state may require all members of the public to be vaccinated against smallpox, there can’t be a constitutional problem with vaccination against SARSC-CoV-2.”, “Upon the principle of self-defense, of paramount necessity, a community has the right to protect itself against an epidemic of disease which threatens the safety of its members.” We have allowed mandatory vaccinations in our country for more than 100 years.
