Jim Jordan says vaccine mandates are un-American. George Washington thought otherwise, critics say. - The Washington Post

"Congressman Jordan is just wrong. There's more than enough history to show we have a precedent for requiring vaccines that goes all the way to George Washington," Julian E.

I don't think there's much of an argument here."
