Can the federal government require you to get a COVID shot?
b'
Today the Biden administration issued a sweeping plan aimed at battling COVID. That plan includes \\xa0mandating vaccinations for employees of companies \\xa0that have more than 100 workers. \\xa0Is that even legal?
We begin this episode with a true story. It's a story of a former pastor and his son. They were both quite healthy.\\xa0 In the town where they lived, there was an ordinance that required everyone of a certain age to get a vaccine from a terrible disease, or go to jail and pay a fine. They objected to this mandate - asking why, if they were completely healthy,\\xa0 should they be forced to take something into their bodies they didn't trust.
Sound like a familiar story? Is it happening in your neighborhood, town, state or country? Well, this story happened in 1905. The disease was smallpox, and the case went all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court.
