Also, in the real non-hypothetical world, the previous forced vaccination campaigns were the precident that lead to Buck v. Bell and forcible eugenic sterilization of people deemed unfit to have children in the USA. Which, in turn, directly inspired Adolf Hitler and the Nazis. Back in the day the ACLU used to be opposed to forced vaccination for exactly this reason (including arguing that forced vaccination for smallpox was an unnecessary and counter-productive attack on civil liberties). As far as I can tell the people involved changed their minds for purely partisan reasons; there is no intellectual justification to go from there to supporting mandatory Covid vaccination and they gave none. If I remember rightly it was literally the exact same folks that argued doing so was immoral for smallpox, and their entire argument when Covid hit was just that it was obvious mandatory vaccination actually defended people's civil liberties...



Eugenics deliberately harms individuals in favour of society(I do not believe in this it favours society), but vaccines never are given with no known harm intended. In fact to the best of our knowledge we avoid given them when we know people might be harmed. I am sure you can recognise there is a very clear difference. If you deny the possibility of forced vaccination on top of abundance of caution due to archaic examples then you will never trust progress.:)
