Dershowitz added that there are "cases after cases after cases" in which courts have ruled in favor of "reasonable actions to prevent the spread of communicable diseases."
I expect there are reasonable actions other than vaccination.

It seems like a harsh but inevitable truth that the state has the right to do that sort of thing. That said, what are the chances the state would ever enforce this?

Yeah, I see his argument, but I think someone's body is and should remain inviolate. Where else have we compelled all citizens to be medically treated?
I really don't think this will ever come to that.

I don’t even think there’s a case for it unless there are broad categories of people who can’t be vaccinated.

What about broad categories of people who refuse to be vaccinated?

Just as today they take their own risk, assuming the vaccine is effective. I'll be first in line, as I will probably consider the vaccine a much lower risk than the virus.

I think if they’re only endangering themselves and other refuseniks that should be fine. If they are endangering large groups of people who can’t get vaccinated that’s another thing.

If the vaccine is only partially effective, then refusing it is liable to increase the risk for everybody.

That’s true.
