Mandatory COVID-19 Vaccine

Does President Joe Biden have the legal authority to require everyone in America be vaccinated?



Key Points

  • The 1905 court case Jacobson v. Massachusetts seems to give the right to mandate vaccines, but does it apply to the Federal Government?

  • Even if it does, would this Congress pass a law to make it possible? Or can existing law be bent enough to fit the purpose? And what compulsion mechanisms are legally available?

  • Then, of course, is the questions of if the Courts would allow such actions to continue and what could be done to stave them off long to make an impact anyway before any rulings are made?
