  2.  @jaysonoweh2227  The Supreme Court case Jacobson v. Massachusetts (1905) set the precedent that states can mandate safety policies and procedures to combat health emergencies. The global pandemic of COVID-19 certainly counts as a health emergency. Thus, states have the responsibility to protect their citizens by implementing proven prevention measures, like limiting public spaces and businesses’ maximum capacities and requiring social distancing or even mask-wearing when in public. In fact, these measures are far less intrusive than vaccination, meaning Jacobson v. Massachusetts definitely applies in this situation. The claim that mandated mask-wearing infringes upon citizens’ Constitutional rights is unsubstantiated and highly invalid considering the Court’s past rulings. The government not only can enforce mask-wearing and other virus mitigation and social distancing measures, but should do so when faced with a health threat as serious as COVID-19 this includes vaccinations, and vaccine mandates.
