Jacobson v Massachusetts: It’s Not Your Great-Great-Grandfather’s Public Health Law

Given the changes in constitutional law, public health, and government regulation, what kinds of public health laws that address contagious diseases might be constitutionally permissible today? A law that authorizes mandatory vaccination during an epidemic of a lethal disease, with refusal punishable by a monetary penalty, like the one at issue in Jacobson, would undoubtedly be found constitutional under the low constitutional test of “rationality review.” However, the vaccine would have to be approved by the FDA as safe and effective, and the law would have to require exceptions for those who have contraindications to the vaccine. A law that authorizes mandatory vaccination to prevent dangerous contagious diseases in the absence of an epidemic, such as the school immunization requirement summarily upheld in 1922, also would probably be upheld as long as (1) the disease still exists in the population where it can spread and cause serious injury to those infected, and (2) a safe and effective vaccine could prevent transmission to others.

The legitimacy of compulsory vaccination programs depends on both scientific factors and constitutional limits. Scientific factors include the prevalence, incidence, and severity of the contagious disease; the mode of transmission; the safety and effectiveness of any vaccine in preventing transmission; and the nature of any available treatment. Constitutional limits include protection against unjustified bodily intrusions, such as forcible vaccination of individuals at risk for adverse reactions, and physical restraints and unreasonable penalties for refusal.

We found a solution for the COVID-19 pandemic! Liquid rubber nanobots that feed on certain viruses! They search for people infected with the corona virus (mostly those ‚free thinkers’ who refuse to wear a mask) and attach to their faces as gas masks. Once their victims body is fully covered in skin tight rubber (even mimicking the style of their clothes and enhancing their bodies!) it‘s impossible for the virus to get out. The masks will filter all the viruses out of the victim’s breath to consume them, protecting the rest of humanity from a further spread. To ensure that corona stays under control, the transformed targets will be locked in the shiny latex as long as there is any type of virus in their body. In this time, they will be constantly hypnotised and all thoughts of rebellion or disobedience will be suppressed so they support the scientific measurements taken to fight the disease. The only question is… what shall we do with all the full rubber hunks that suddenly appear everywhere?
… and why are those rubber guys so eager to follow orders from dominant men and meet up in large groups in hidden places, producing lots of squeaking noises? So many questions…
These nanobots would be a compelling arguments to actually take off the mask and let them get me. But since they are just one of my many kinky fantasies: Please wear your mask and protect yourself and others!
