No, vaccine mandates are not unconstitutional (excerpt) Contrary to the claims of anti-vaccine protestors, vaccine mandates do not violate your Constitutional rights. The United States has a long history of mandating vaccination, and there is ample legal precedent supporting vaccine requirements.
The constitutional basis for vaccine mandates stems from the police powers of the states. Police powers are best defined as the authority delegated to the states under the Tenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. In Gibbons v. Ogden, the Supreme Court described police power as an "immense mass of legislation" that includes "health laws of every description". According to the Court’s opinion in the Slaughter-House Cases, police power is preeminent because the "security of social order, [and] . . . the life and health of the citizen" depends upon it.

More Karen whines.
"It's just a mask"... I agree.
I was referring to your whines concerning doing the minimum.
As opposed to yours espousing totalitarianism. :)
I'm for saving lives and minimizing economic damage. You are for death and maximizing economic damage. I'm strongly opposed to totalitarianism.
And I'm for living in a free society of responsible individuals, not one of camp guards who simply follow unconstitutional orders.

That's a "positivist's" interpretation of a document constructed by "negativists".
I AM positively in favor of not treating the Constitution as a suicide pact.
