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

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

I fully expected Ms. Wheeler to concede that a mandate was appropriate with smallpox and that the difference here is the relatively low lethality of the virus. To my surprise, that's not the position she took. Here's what she said, at timestamp 22:15. https://t.co/Mm6BSGy9EG — PolitiTweet.org
