Don't know about any of you all, but I've heard this decision from many a pro-forced-vaxxing-leftie-psychophantic nutjob refer to this case as evidence that the gubmint has the authority to force vaccinate any individual they so choose:

But this is actually NOT the case, its a clear attempt at disinformation. SCOTUS decided that the state gov't CAN order forced-vaccination OR the individual must pay a $5 fine ($155 in today's dollars) should he choose not to comply. I would rather the pay $155 penalty and left the fuck alone, never to hear of it ever again, not to lose my job, nor be segregated, nor be barred from places of public accommodation, etc. than to have to deal with the constant screeching BS peer-pressure campaign let alone take the jab.

Funny how a penumbra of privacy extends to baby killing, but not getting jabbed with an experimental medical treatment.

The SCOTUS let stand the MA vaccination law at the time only after noting the MA vaccination law allowed easy way out ($5 fine); the change in definition of "vaccine" and "vaccination" in recent years made that decision no longer valid precedence: what if "vaccine"/"vaccination" is redefined as speedy chunk of lead to the head? i.e. mandatory depopulation? Obviously that would no longer be a matter of state police power but contravene with basic constitutional guarantee of individual rights.
