At timestamp 20:44 of the podcast, I posed Ms. Wheeler the question of a vaccine mandate for smallpox. Smallpox killed about 30 percent of people it infected. It was wiped out through a worldwide program of vaccine mandates. I asked her: Was that wrong? https://t.co/4lzaav8p5p — PolitiTweet.org

.@Liz_Wheeler is accusing me lying about her position on smallpox vaccination mandates in our recent @Newsweek debate. All I can do is lay out the record clearly, and let readers decide whether I am mischaracterizing what she said—or whether she is. — PolitiTweet.org

And if it wasn't wrong, then aren't we really arguing not about whether mandates are ever appropriate, just about when they are—ie, whether COVID is more like flu (where we don't require vaccination) or more like smallpox (where we did)? — PolitiTweet.org
